Review of Bloody Mallory (2002)


Bloody Mallory

The Good:
The single best part of the movie was a massively powerful telepathic little girl called Talking Tina. She was cool as hell and funny.
The film was a nice horror/comedy/action film.
The story wasn't a genius plot or anything, but it was a neat supernatural tall tale.
The gadgets were great... in that "lol" kind of way.
Olivia Bonamy is quite the looker.
The monster makeup was pretty good.

The Bad:
The fight scenes were terrible.
Some of the characters, story elements and the plot were a bit paper-thin.
There were a few plotholes and a couple of "why didn't she do ______" times.

Overall: I enjoyed it far more than I expected. I thought it would be another horrible low budget horror failure... it was not. It was light-hearted and fun and didn't take itself too seriously. Right along the lines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie, which I liked, not the series, which I didn't like).
