A group of con artists who do fake exorcisms, possessions, palm reading and seances decide they can make money doing a video about Bloody Mary. They convince a nurse they know at an asylum to let them see Sara, who was convicted of killing her friends -although Sara insists the murderer was Bloody Mary.
Sara explains Mary was a witch who was burned at the stake and if you call her, she’ll come for you. The nurse rolls her eyes as Sara speaks, but Lily is excited about the footage they’re getting. When Sara hears they plan to call Mary, she warns them it’s a mistake. But as with most warnings, it is not heeded.
Lily arranges with her roommates to film at their house. The plan is when she calls Bloody Mary, Mel will come in dressed as the witch. Lily, Kasper and Rich will run around the house, doing the shaky cam POV video. Then they’ll put it online claiming Mary is real and rake in the bucks.
Imagine their surprise when they call Mary, she kills a roommate, and comes after them. Apparently Mary has some sort of powers since the doors and windows of the house won’t open. They’re trapped, which you think would mean they’d die fairy quickly since it’s a small house. But instead Mary goes back into the mirror and later pulls Mel into it. Lily thinks they can open the portal by calling Mary, then jump through the mirror to get Mel and bring her back.
The weird thing about this movie is the characters just randomly make up how things work. They’ve done no research on Mary, but Lily keeps coming up with guesses about how this whole Mary curse works. At one point when trying to figure out how to survive, she says, “there’s one thing we haven’t tried yet.” I replied, “break the mirror” and Lily said “An exorcism.” Oh Lily, you’ve barely tried anything.
Questions abound. Why do they think a curse stops at sunrise? Are they getting witches confused with vampires? Are we supposed to care about characters who make money by conning people? Why does Mel think witches wear crop tops? And why does no one realize a ghost witch should have a clown white stomach ? Why do they think Mary can only appear in a room with a mirror? Why did they do no research on Mary? Wouldn’t breaking the mirror remove the portal? And if Mary is trying to kill them, why do they keep splitting up?
Ridiculous dialogue

| Our less than likable main characters |
 |
| Mel forgetting witches didn’t wear crop tops, and only putting white makeup on her face |
 |
| No one tries to break the mirror or cover it to stop Mary from crawling through it |
 |
| Mary going for that old King Diamond look |
