June 10, 2014'Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary' was actually really good! It starred the beautiful Cristina Ferrare in her only starring role in film which is a shame because I thought she was fantastic. Everything I've read about this film claimed Mary was a bisexual vampire, but I'm not convinced about either. She was definitely bloodthirsty - she seemed addicted to blood, and she killed a bunch of people to get her fix, but she had no trouble with sunlight and she didn't have sharp teeth or sleep in a coffin or have any other typical vampire features. I don't think she was really bisexual either. She may have occasionally pretended to be, but only in the interest of killing and drinking blood. The most curious thing about the movie was Mary's father, played by John Carradine, who wore a black robe and followed Mary and also had a bizarre thirst for human blood. Directed by Juan Lopez Moctezuma who brought us 'The Mansion of Madness' and the fantastic 'Alucarda', 'Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary' is one I would highly recommend. It came out not long before George Romero's equally wonderful film 'Martin', also about a person who may or may not be a vampire but certainly has a lust for blood, and I would strongly suggest checking both movies out.
