A group of friends enjoying a weekend in the woods play a game of “Dead Mary” and summon an evil witch who begins possessing them one by one.
Kim and her boyfriend Matt have just broken up, but they travel together to a cottage nearby a lake to spend the weekend with their friends Eve, Dash and his wife Amber and Baker and his new girlfriend Lily. The atmosphere becomes heavy with the situation between Kim and Matt, and one of them suggests them to play “Dead Mary”. Matt, Eve and Dash summon the evil witch repeating her name three times in front of a mirror with a candle. Along the night, Matt hears weird noises, is killed and returns to life, while part of the group is possessed by the fiend. Without knowing who is possessed, the rest of the group fights to survive.
“I found it unexpected and it did make what I at first thought a predictable movie, interesting. Let’s just say that ’Dead Mary’ is like ’Cabin Fever’ meets ’Evil Dead’ meets ’Invasion of the Body Snatchers’. Highly recommended.” – Buried.com
“The interactions between the characters are really interesting. Everybody has secrets and they’re all being sneaky, so when people start getting possessed by demons it adds another layer of paranoia to a bunch of already distrusting characters. Above average imitation of a classic with some new elements.” – Letterboxd
“It’s another one that reminds me how good, effective horror doesn’t have to be big budget. ’Dead Mary’ is an off-the-radar, lesser known gem of low-budget horror worth seeing.” – Space Jockey Reviews
