Directed by Bruce Pittman. Written by Ron Oliver. Starring Wendy Lyon, Michael Ironside, Lisa Schrage, Louis Ferreira and Richard Monette.
Plot: 30 years after her accidental death at prom, Mary Lou, returns for revenge.
Not sure who you’re supposed to like in this movie. The obnoxious, whorish Mary Lou or the morally ambiguous people she goes after. The movie has a very “Carrie” ring to it, except that Carrie was a sympathetic character and these people really aren’t.
There’s a lot of overkill in this movie (like she hangs the first girl AND throws her out a window, too). She’s a little too omnipotent for our liking. The motive is horrible. The ending is shit. And at one time there’s a father/daughter kiss that is very, very wrong.
We wanted to like it a lot more than we did. The few bright spots were the boob shots, the humor, the acting and the specials. But it wasn’t enough for us to recommend it to you. Our score fell just short.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
