Bloody Mallory (2002)

So much average

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I have to write a review as there are way too many high ratings on IMDb about this movie. No way you can give more than a 5 out of 10 for this movie. A very enthusiastic person, on a good day, might seriously go as high as 6; But 8? 9? There are even 10s!! Come on!Up until now, the lowest rating I gave for a movie was a 3 and it was for MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. I gave it a 3 only because I still would have recommended TUSK over that movie, which I gave only a 4. So I'm going to stay positive and give it a 3 as well, but it is kind of insulting for Clint Eastwood and Kevin Smith and my 3 is more of a 2.5 rounded up. Because you can make a much worst movie than BLOODY MALLORY, but it is very easy to find much much better as well.The movie has the look and feel of one being made by a group of friends barely out of their teenager years, very amateur. But it looks like people had fun making this movie and that they seriously tried to make something good with very little mean.But the weakest point is the script. Every cliché imaginable has been put in it, so it looks more like a bunch of scenes stitched together; Scenes that were written to only use a certain camera angle, a certain fight scene or a certain special effect. It looks like a script written by an immature 12-year-old putting all of his favourite scenes in one single movie and saying to himself "That will be awesome!" A low budget is never an excuse for a bad script.I sometimes read about bad acting in the comments on IMDb and I don't see it. In this movie, I see it. I don't know if it is due to bad actors, bad directing or the bad script, but there is zero emotions coming out of this movie. You don't feel close to the heroes, you don't hate the villains, the jokes and the one-liners are not that funny, you are not afraid or disgust, you feel nothing. The only rictus you'll have is by noting the bad/cheesy acting/line/scene/effect you will see.But don't get me wrong, the movie is not a bad experience in itself. But it is like watching a movie your kids made: You like it because they made a good effort and it shows.So if you have nothing better to do and that movie happens to play on TV, give it a go, but don't expect much about it.

This is a good comedy, like the Dance of the Vampires. The original music is by Kenji Kawai. The film is a parody action comedy, fantastic, satanic, a little gore. The story is classic, some finds, twists, it never drags and it's fun. There are many endearing characters including among the monsters. Monsters are carefully made​​, credible. The film was shot primarily in natural settings. The Pope is a major character in the movie. The American believers have not loved her role. Neither the role of another character, a demon (though have killed with an ax at the beginning of the film and found it to be in limbo). It is irreverent, politically incorrect, as they say in the USA, and it makes you think, I like it :-). The DVD includes the making of the film and a second short film.

Freshman French feature film director Julian Magnet's "Bloody Mallory" qualifies as campy but colorful supernatural saga. This profane, R-rated chiller about an elite anti-paranormal commando squad of misfits that battles the demoniac forces of evil with special weapons is a lot of goofy fun. The head chick-in-charge is the eponymous heroine who dresses like a cyberpunk slut with her hair dyed red and totes around a huge automatic pistol modified with lots of attachments. The French Ministry of Secret Service employs Mallory (Olivia Bonamy of "Jefferson in Paris") and her paranormal pal. They tool around in a shocking lipstick pink hearse. Accompanying her on this mission is Talking Tina (Thylda Bares of "Amazon"), a mute girl with telepathic powers who can enter the bodies of her opponents; Inspector Durant (Thierry Perkins-Lyautey of "The Code"), the head of this government paranormal commando outfit, and a tall drag queenl, Vena Cava (Jeffrey Ribier of TV's "Highlander") with long nails and platform shoes that have machine guns built into them so she can fire off bursts from either her toes or her heel. They confront demons, zombies, and vampires in this hilarious, but fast-paced piece of nonsense. You can watch it either in its original French language version or in an English dubbed version. The English dubbed version sounds like a Japanese anime movie because everybody speaks perfectly."Bloody Mallory" opens with Mallory's back story. She is shown in a bride's white wedding dress pursuing her handsome groom. Suddenly, he has satanic red eyes and Mallory plunges an ax into him. Somehow, the groom turned into a ghoul and Mallory dispatched him with extreme prejudice. Unfortunately, she wound up with some of his tainted blood. She becomes a Laura Croft type in a tight-fitted, slutty-style, red and black ensemble. Mallory and her people are called in after several ghouls assault four nuns in a remote Catholic Church. As it turns out, the nuns have been impregnated and they give birth to slimy ghoul soldiers. Things really come to a head when the ghouls abduct the Pope (Laurent Spielvogel) and heroes have to rescue him. There is one scene straight out of "Star Wars" where our heroes are confined to a room and a heavy wall with studs in it descends from the ceiling and separates them. Initially, the wall closes in to crush Mallory and Father Carras, but Vena Cava reverses the wall so that it comes toward her, Talking Tina, and the Pope. Vena produces a harmless looking lipstick container and it sprout a missile that blasts a hole in the wall for them to escape.Magnet deserves some praise for making this pastiche of fantasy, horror, and actioneer so lightweight and giddy that you cannot help but tolerate it.

lets blend enormous chunks of "Blade", "Vampires", "Buffy", "Vampirella", and every other movie with armed Vampire hunters. But lets also toss in the whole Japanese girl superhero tradition, and slather it all with odd color tinting, and Hair. There is quite a bit of influence from stuff like "Eko Eko Azarak", and "La Blue Girl", but without the extreme sexual touches. And the odd coloring hearkens back to French pop product of the 60's, like the "Fantomas" series. but the kidnapping of the Pope, and his discussions with his rescuers, are almost priceless. Surprisingly for such a derivative project, it's rather fresh, and even occasionally inventive. it will sell more in America, when it gets re-dubbed, and receives a standard hard rock soundtrack. it pulls some unexpected touches more frequently as it goes along, and is quite enjoyable. the "Kill Bill 1" crowd, should just love it.
