The Curse of Bloody Mary (2021)

Aka Summoning Bloody Mary; aka Bloody Mary

Four friends go away for a relaxation retreat, which is incredibly unrelaxing. Two of the four haven’t spoken in years after one slept with the others boyfriend. Also the retreat is in a large building but there are no other guests and the manager is very odd. She seems confused as to why they are there and doesn’t seem to have any activities to offer, even though it was discussed via email. Also they can choose any room they want, which is pretty weird. Even if no one is there, an actual spa would need to know which rooms need to be made up later.

The group does yoga, has a camp fire, and well, that’s about it.  The trip was a last ditch effort to get the two estranged friends talking again, but they didn’t tell either about inviting the other. Also if one person has wronged another, you may want to talk to the offender to see if they have taken responsibility for their actions and could apologize without defending what they’ve done. When you’ve betrayed your best friend by sleeping with her boyfriend, and you say you did them a favor or they should get over it because it was so long ago, that just makes you a total asshole. 

Our weird manager asks the girls if she can join their campfire, and tells them the story of Bloody Mary.  They don’t believe the legend. When they are dared to try it, they all agree. Each will go into a different room and say Bloody Mary three times while looking in a mirror. Damn women, what were you thinking? 

Screams are heard, horrible decisions are made and people die. When they realize there is a book that may help them stop Mary, three people go back into the building.  This makes no sense. Why not have one go in? Plus if you hear knocking, why would you stop to check out what the knocking was and put your face two inches from a mirror?  You already know there is supernatural activity in the house that involves a mirror.

Ridiculous dialogue:

Kate: It’s a little unorthodox but we have have this whole place to ourselves.

Dani: But is that a good thing?

Kate; I have to get this finished.

Manager: what are you doing?

Kate: Working

In some ways, I did you a favor [by sleeping with your boyfriend].

I don’t want to talk about a mistake i made way back in school.

A spa doing yoga without yoga mats is a red flag.

He is aware of Bloody Mary in the mirror. Yet when
he hears a sound, he puts his face a few inches from it.

The awkward square-ish pregnancy bump

If your hostess is always looking off to the side
as if there is something going on, be wary.
