Irritating closeups

Thanks for the heads up. I just wanted to know if this movie would be better than it sounds.

Agreed. Also, this constant camera angle saps the film of any dramatic tension. I'm not a film-school graduate but I'm sure there is a "technical" reason for this. Anyhow, it killed the film for me. No drama in it at all. Shame - the subject matter is somewhat of an obsession of mine. The only other "Bloody Mary" film I've seen that was passable was "Urban Legends 3: Bloody Mary", but it's still pretty poor. There is another film simply titled "Bloody Mary" released in 2006, but I've yet to find a copy.

indeed those were irritating, but i liked whne they went for feet closeups, those were quite fun.
Overall, i think the closeups was totaly unnecessary, but it probably was done due to need of showing something while characters talk.

My favorite thing was the long pauses between every line. They're thinkin' hard about what to say. The worst is the first conversation between the priest and the main guy at the coffee shop. There'll be like ten second's pause then a one or two word line followed by lengthy pause and close ups of the actor's faces. I suppose they were supposed to show emotion, but since none of them could act it just looked like they were paining to remember what 'the' means or something.
