THIS IS FOR MARY
29 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The original was a horror film favorite when it first came in the 70's out for two reasons. One was the infamous sliding trombone scene where he kills a girl with her own instrument. This film shows pieces of that scene and then goes on to do a bad recreation/tribute. The second aspect that we loved was the fact Dawn Wells (sweet Mary Ann from "Gilligan's Island") was in a horror film, a woman we had all grown up loving as the girl next door. She was the Marsha Brady of the previous generation. Addison Timlin is not my Dawn Wells.

The film opens with two prospective victims and one suspect as a couple goes out parking. Soon the boy is dead and Jami (Addison Timlin) is left alive with instructions to remind everyone about "Mary." Jami conducts her own investigation as the body counts rises.

I was fairly bored with the copycat killer/ tribute film. The characters lacked decent development and personality. The dialogue was idiotic as when one sheriff begs a room full of people, "Call me Lone Wolf. I deserve it." And we know that how?

Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Morganna May of "The Conjuring")
