Everyone knows the legend of Bloody Mary, but when three high-school friends jokingly recite an ancient incantation for what they believe to be a harmless prank, a vengeful spirit is unleashed and their fate sealed. Later abducted by a group of intimidating high-school jocks, the trio is soon rescued, only to bear witness as their tormentors one by one fall prey to a deadly but unseen menace. Could it be their imagination or could the spirit of Bloody Mary truly have returned from the grave to seek vengeance for her death and make anyone who crosses her path suffer a horrible and agonizing death? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
Just a good enough horror film in spite of all of its flaws, saved by the strong performances of Tina Lifford and cutie patootie Kate Mara...
Johnny Butane, Dread Central
There's really nothing remarkable about Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, which is a shame because it's premise is one ripe with possibilities.
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Though it's purportedly the third installment of the ongoing Urban Legends series, Bloody Mary feels more like a half-baked Ring ripoff than anything else.
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
blatantly obvious that the script has nothing to do with the actual Urban Legend series

It was freaky!

This was a striaght to DVD release, a surprise considering how popular the first two were. A simple story with at times low budget effects but still enjoyable. It does go towards a more supernatural path from the first two. If you like the first two give this a whirl.

Interesting idea (though cliche), but piss poor special effects. Watch and laugh.
Steven V

The movie was totally lame. The story is different from the original. This movie is sort of predictable, but still enjoyable.
Sylvester K

At least it is better than the previous one, a lot of it still doesn't make sense though

Ok third installment of the horror trilogy. When a trio of high school friends chant an incantation to get revenge on a bunch of jocks, they unleash the spirit of a girl killed years ago by the same kinda dudes who goes looking for the modern jocks to kill in ways that, yes, are like urban legends of the past. This has more of a fantastical element to it than the first two, with the "bad guy" being a ghost type figure instead of a human nutcase which sometimes works in its favour. Plus its not to over the top with the ghost shit, a decent, more darker script than the first two films means this is a more serious affair. This worked to an extent but personally, i like the fun elements of the other two films. Still, despite the odd bit of boredem creeping in and with an ending nearly ruined by shitty special effects, this is not a bad little horror film.

Pretty bad heading into the Bloody Mary supernatural urban legend. However, I like Kate Mara so gave it a spin. It is what it is... a dirct to DVD horror rip off done so-so that was so absurd, I chuckled a few times.

I love Urban Legends! They leave so much to your mind. So much for the soul. And they keep coming up with good ones. Bloody Mary is the second best of the series!
Laurence C

With a lousy & derivative screenplay, mostly ridiculous performances, ultra-lame kills and not a single scene that could frighten, this series keeps getting shittier and shittier. The worst about it is that another straight-to-DVD sequel has been announced...
