Blood Night: Legend of Mary Hatchet (2009)-- My take on the movie with spoilers!
PLOT SUMMARY: A group of teenagers become a target of the local legend on the day Mary Hatchet's killing spree is celebrated.
Most movies have a tendency to show small towns as an ideal place to grow up in. The people are friendly, everyone knows your name, and everyone helps you when you are in need. It's a community that always comes together.
In fact, the people are so desperate to gather and celebrate that in the case of Blood Night: Legend of Mary Hatchet, they are ready to celebrate a horrible murder because clearly, they have run out of things to celebrate.
It would have seemed more decent if they celebrated the weather rather than a horrible incident in which a girl kills her family in her sleep, is raped in the mental institution and gives birth to a dead baby.
Mary, the girl's name, becomes even more unstable and goes on a rampage, killing practically the whole staff.
The cops arrive just in time to shoot her several times.
Mary is dead, but the people of the town appear to be happy that their town has something attached to it even if it is an incident of gross injustice.
For years it is celebrated, as we are shown in the montage until the authorities put a ban on celebrating it on the streets as it leads to vandalism.
Years later, a couple of high school students decide to throw a party after conducting a seance at Mary's grave to contact her. Some of them even wear Mary's mask.
As if the insult wasn't complete. Seriously, the town needs some other activities to pass their time rather than mock a mentally unstable woman who goes on a killing spree.
As with these kinds of movies, the killing begins immediately at the party where all of them are looking for a good time.
The second these teens venture out, the camera zooms on them and we are made to believe someone is watching a killing them.
Now, who could it be? Is it Mary, back from the dead?
Apparently, her medical reports show she gets her fits when she's on her period. So is it really her?
Blood Night: Legend of Mary Hatchet Ending Explained with Spoilers!!
It's no suspense that when Mary gave birth, the baby did indeed survive. The hints were all there. The baby is never shown being delivered. The doctors were always concerned about her mental state.
Deep inside, perhaps Mary knew her baby was alive and went even more insane.
The baby was a girl and she grew up to be one of the popular girls.
Of course, she doesn't know yet what runs in her real family.
At the party, after she gets drunk, she realizes she got her period and after seeing all the blood, gets crazy.
The remaining teens approach the park caretaker who seems to know a lot about Mary. Even where the baby was supposedly buried. He thinks reuniting the baby will stop Mary from killing them. The poor teens still don't know the killer is among them until they trespass the psychiatric facility where Mary was kept and find her files.
The killer appears and kills the caretaker.
The two survivors, one of them manages to empower the killer and strangle her.
But to put a twist in the story, just when they thought they were safe, Mary's ghost appears, this time pissed that her daughter was killed.
She lunges and the screen goes black.
The story had some interesting moments, however, the obstacles come in the form of the intimate scenes added that don't contribute to the story.
Okay, we get it that teenagers think of only sharing intimate moments with their girlfriends or boyfriends, but what does it have to do with Mary?
Those scenes added nothing to the development of the mystery.
The twist, though predictable, was interesting.
An okay movie to watch when you have nothing much to do.
Scare scale: 2.5/5
