Review – Urban Legends: Bloody Mary

Not as good as the first one, but not as bad as the second. Given that quality is a relative thing down at this end of the scale, I suppose it could have been worse. Once again the use of urban legends is a little weak. For example, the hand-licking murderer is an element of one death, but it’s at best and awkward fit with the scene as a whole (not to mention a really fake but entirely unnecessary dog death). And is there an urban legend somewhere about a guy frying himself by pissing on an electric fence? Or is that just a rhyme from Beavis and Butt-Head? And clearly I’m back in practice now, because I pegged the culprit in this one early on (not that it was much of a challenge). The script isn’t long in the logic department, but the story keeps moving well enough. Some of the booga-booga shots aren’t bad, either. Especially the ones stolen from The Ring (along with a chunk of the plot). See if desperate
