It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Samantha Owens (Kate Mara) have her two girlfriends for a sleepover. They are interrupted by Sam's brother David. They are all outcasts after Sam published a school news story denouncing the football players. The girls recount a story about the murder of Mary Banner in 1969. She and two other girls were drugged by the football players. Sam also talk about the urban legend of Bloody Mary. Next day, the girls are gone and David accuses the football players of foul play. Sam and her friends reappear later that afternoon disheveled and suffering from the after-effects of a drugging. Soon, the jocks and the captain's girlfriend Heather Thompson are showing up dead in unusual circumstances. Sam and David track down one of the girls from the 1969 incident, Grace Taylor.The biggest name here is Kate Mara. It's odd that Sam's two friends aren't actually main characters. It doesn't help that they are limited actors. David isn't much better but at least, he's functional. Quite frankly, his role is unnecessary and Kate Mara should have been the only protagonist. The story should follow Sam and her two friends from the drugging onwards. The only good kill is the spiders and the CGI is cheap anyways. It's still creepy good. The other kills are either boring or silly or both. There are other issues and this never had a chance to be better than a B-horror.

This is supernatural and the first two weren't. This shift is really strange but whatever I like supernatural and teen slashers. Barely had any relation to the others, could have been called anything else but then I probably wouldn't have watched it. Some creepy horror moments save it from damnation.

After reading a lot of hard critics about this picture, I spent some years wondering myself whether this movie would be worth a watch or not. As a fan of the previous versions of this trilogy-- despite their flaws--, I decided watching it today and I don't feel any remorse for that. First, "Urban Legends: Bloody Mary" has some unintentional funny scenes, like the death in the tanning machine, which got comical for such irresponsibility from the female employee. All the scenes involving the older Grace Taylor also felt funny, especially because she acted like a pothead in most situations. The photography directing is nice as well, delivering some beautiful scenes-- even the supposedly scary ones. My first complaint concerning this picture is related to the quite conventional way that Bloody Mary appears; I mean, it felt like I was rewatching 1973's "The Exorcist" for the thousandth time, or that Samara just came out of the television again. Also, the acting doesn't seem that professional, and the murderer was as predictable as it could be. However, I still think this version has less plot holes than the original one-- which never tried to make sense or be plausible. In my opinion, this third version just proves that you can continue a series without spoiling the other installment's quality, if you are up to make some innovations.

They should have watch supernatural first that bloody marry was fantasticit was just Horrible, The movie didn't make it sense at allThe plot: On Homecoming night, Samantha (Mara), Gina (McCormick), and Mindy (Rulin) are having a slumber party at Sam's house due to being black-listed by the sexy football players. Since the dance and game are out of the question, the trio stays up and entertains themselves with Urban Legends..all leading up to BLOODY MARY. With nothing better to do and a whole night to waste, Sam chants "Bloody Mary." Her friends laugh... "Bloody Mary." More laughter. On the third and final "Bloody Mary," the friends are kidnapped by three jocks and return soon thereafter, shaken but well. Sam begins having hallucinations and soon bodies turn up - is it all a high school prank taken to grisly extremes or is it Bloody Mary, who's youth was taken far too early?Worst think about this is that they don't even use a mirror REALLY Then marry pop up anyway not scary not creepy.This is the only one good part in the movie - That part is when spiders come out girl face was really good it is bit over the top scene but the Rest of the movie is garbage 3/10 just for that scene
