Defintely Worth Seeing
Just saw Dead Mary on premium cable. I didn't expect much, having never heard of it before, but it's actually a better than average horror film. The cinematography, direction and acting are all first rate. I was surprised, coming here, to see how many people had left angry posts denouncing the film. This is not the type of movie where someone gets their head cut off in the first minute. Instead, the film takes time in the first third to let us get to know the characters, and their relationships to each other, while subtly building suspense. I also liked the fact it's never clearly explained why everything is happening, or the extent of the "takeovers" (although there are clues throughout the movie.) If you're unsure whether or not to see this movie, I would definitely recommend renting it, or trying to catch it on TV. It's atmospheric, spooky, and has some great scenes.
