I had no idea that Urban Legends had another direct to DVD sequel years after Final Cut. So, I put this on.
The original Urban Legends was a Scream ripoff, right down to a similar looking killer. Final Cut was pretty much directly Scream 2 ripoff. So Bloody Mary here was what, a Scream 3 rip off? Nope. They bucked the trend to this time to copy Final Destination.
A couple teens say Bloody Mary into a mirror 3 times and summon the ghost of a murdered girl, a girl who was killed a long time ago by some jocks or something. The Bloody Mary ghost starts going after the kids of the jocks, in something that also felt like a Nightmare on Elm Street rip off. There's some stupid deaths here for sure including a normal tanning bed, not like in Final Destination 3 at all, where by default a normal tanning bed can kill a man?
This movie is pretty stupid in just about all ways. Some really convoluted thing where the killers seemingly has to kill kids using methodologies described in various urban legends, and that is never explained. So now, the one girl that is onto it has to try and stop it while also convincing others of what is truly going on.
Pretty low rent and not engaging, it's clear this series was dead at this point. 1 star.
