action

Salt Lake City , 1969. At a party, football players stun and kidnap young women with " Bloody Mary ". Mary didn't drink her cocktail and tried to escape. However, she is killed by one of the young men, so that the supposed fun suddenly becomes serious. The perpetrator hides the body in a chest.

Around 30 years later, Samantha sits at home with her friends Mindy and Martha while her classmates have fun at a ball. The three girls talk about the rumor that Mary's body is still in hiding and appears in the mirror when you shout "Bloody Mary" three times in the dark room. Then they tell each other more “ urban legends ”, e.g. For example, about the explosive mixture of “pop rock” and cola or the man who sticks his arm into a machine and is killed by the device.

The girls call the bloody woman three times for fun (in the bright room), the next morning they disappeared. Sheriff McKenna later reports to the parents that the girls woke up in an old mill and were drugged. Upon her return, Sam sees the "Bloody Mary" in the mirror. She tells her brother that they were kidnapped by Buck and his friends Roger and Tom, whereupon David threatens the football players. Shortly thereafter, Roger goes to Betsy's tanning salon. While she is on the phone, he burns on the sunbed, which is getting hotter and hotter.

Sam disagrees with Heather, who brings her homework, suspicions that David had something to do with Roger's accident. Heather, who is friends with the football players, describes the kidnapping as a prank. The boys wanted revenge for an embarrassing photo that Sam published. In her history book, Sam then finds a letter addressed to Heather.

At night a spider crawls out of the mouth of a doll in Heather's bed. The next morning countless spiders crawl out of her cheek and kill her. Sam discovers her body in front of the mirror and has another vision of the "Bloody Mary" during class. Buck suspects Sam and David of murder. His friend sees the "Bloody Mary" on the street and is electrocuted when he urinates on an electric fence. A police officer finds that he is missing a finger.

Sam shows her brother the contents of the letter: a newspaper report about the missing Mary Banner with the handwritten note “She is not at rest” and another report about the massacre at Pendleton University with the note “It really happened ”(It really happened). While researching the 1969 abduction, Sam and David find out that the other two victims were Gina Lotnick ( who died by suicide in 1982 ) and Grace Taylor.

The two teenagers visit the still living Grace. In her house, David discovers a book about "urban legends" which also mentions the series of murders at Alpine University. Grace is convinced that Mary's ghost is responsible for the current deaths because it kills the children of the perpetrators at the time. David doesn't believe her, but shows his sister drawings that accurately depict Rogers and Heather's death.

It turns out that Buck's father, Coach Jakoby, was involved at the time. His son is almost killed by a machine in which he sticks his hand. In addition, his dog, which recently licked his hand, is hanging dead in the closet; next to it there is a warning in bloody letters: “People can lick too” (people can also lick). Suddenly "Bloody Mary" crawls out from under his bed and kills him with a bottle.

David goes to Grace again, but she does not tell him the names of their kidnappers, but refers him to the photos in the school archive. There David determines who Mary's boyfriend was. Meanwhile, a box shakes in Sam's room, triggering another vision. Grace advises her to find Mary's body and bury it. Sam thinks he knows where the body is. When she tries to reach David by phone, he is attacked at home and suffocated. Sam persuades Grace to take her to school.

There she enters the room she saw in her last vision. In the warehouse she discovers the mysterious chest. The lock pops open and Sam takes Mary's remains from the box. In Grace's Van she flees from a man in a dark jacket who has been waiting for her in the camp and drives to the cemetery.

At Mary's grave, her stepfather Bill (in the same jacket as the pursuer) comes to her. Suddenly he hits his daughter with a shovel. Grace is able to save Sam before Bill knocks out the two women one after the other. When he is about to kill his daughter with the shovel, Mary appears and pulls Bill with her to her death. Sam speculates that her story could now become an "urban legend".

Reviews

Lexicon of International Films : shock entertainment that is noticeable at best because of its atmospheric style. Official sequel and supposed completion of the "Urban Legend" series.
