Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Freshman French feature film director Julian Magnet's "Bloody Mallory" qualifies as campy but colorful supernatural saga. This profane, R-rated chiller about an elite anti-paranormal commando squad of misfits that battles the demoniac forces of evil with special weapons is a lot of goofy fun. The head chick-in-charge is the eponymous heroine who dresses like a cyberpunk slut with her hair dyed red and totes around a huge automatic pistol modified with lots of attachments. The French Ministry of Secret Service employs Mallory (Olivia Bonamy of "Jefferson in Paris") and her paranormal pal. They tool around in a shocking lipstick pink hearse. Accompanying her on this mission is Talking Tina (Thylda Bares of "Amazon"), a mute girl with telepathic powers who can enter the bodies of her opponents; Inspector Durant (Thierry Perkins-Lyautey of "The Code"), the head of this government paranormal commando outfit, and a tall drag queenl, Vena Cava (Jeffrey Ribier of TV's "Highlander") with long nails and platform shoes that have machine guns built into them so she can fire off bursts from either her toes or her heel. They confront demons, zombies, and vampires in this hilarious, but fast-paced piece of nonsense. You can watch it either in its original French language version or in an English dubbed version. The English dubbed version sounds like a Japanese anime movie because everybody speaks perfectly."Bloody Mallory" opens with Mallory's back story. She is shown in a bride's white wedding dress pursuing her handsome groom. Suddenly, he has satanic red eyes and Mallory plunges an ax into him. Somehow, the groom turned into a ghoul and Mallory dispatched him with extreme prejudice. Unfortunately, she wound up with some of his tainted blood. She becomes a Laura Croft type in a tight-fitted, slutty-style, red and black ensemble. Mallory and her people are called in after several ghouls assault four nuns in a remote Catholic Church. As it turns out, the nuns have been impregnated and they give birth to slimy ghoul soldiers. Things really come to a head when the ghouls abduct the Pope (Laurent Spielvogel) and heroes have to rescue him. There is one scene straight out of "Star Wars" where our heroes are confined to a room and a heavy wall with studs in it descends from the ceiling and separates them. Initially, the wall closes in to crush Mallory and Father Carras, but Vena Cava reverses the wall so that it comes toward her, Talking Tina, and the Pope. Vena produces a harmless looking lipstick container and it sprout a missile that blasts a hole in the wall for them to escape.Magnet deserves some praise for making this pastiche of fantasy, horror, and actioneer so lightweight and giddy that you cannot help but tolerate it.

Nicely done, for a moderately budgeted film. Plays like a comic book, so I was surprised to find that it was an original story. Olivia Bonamy does an acceptable "Le Femme Nikita"-type heroine, but the scene stealers are Jeffery Ribier as her towering transvestite sidekick and Valentina Vargas as the undead Lady Valentine. Lots of monsters, an unusual plot line, and Mallory's car is way cool. This is a solid popcorn flick. One word of advice- if you can handle subtitles, watch it in it's original French- the translation is poor, and the dubbing is pretty bad. Special features include a good "Making Of" featurette with lots of interesting factoids.

I should begin by noting that I cannot watch this movie in French; the dub is just too good. The voice of Mallory sounds like feminist handing out her self help solutions.This movie is sublime. It has everything I never knew I wanted in a French movie, including but not limited to nuns with exploding stomachs, darling psychic crazy girls, cute bats that get stuck in purses, the Pope, kung fu priests, and an evil vampire who survives thousands of years before learning why you don't steal things from people who use explosives.The style and exuberance all belong to a great Jackie Chan flick, only now with a French twist that gives it a distinctive visual beauty. The leading lady is gorgeous, while the sporting supporting cast makes everything fun.In the genre of women driving around in pink hearses with transsexual explosives experts, this movie is tops. If any of these ideas interest you, you must seek this movie out. It is the best $5 I've spent in ages.

If you like over-the-top horror farces, this may be your movie! The acting and direction are surprisingly good. If you take your Buffy genre too seriously, you'll hate it.A female agent (Bloody Mallory), from a secret French ministry charged with monitoring evil supernatural beings (mais bien sûr) heads off in her accessorized pink Hearse to rescue the Pope from flesh-eating ghoul kidnappers. She is joined by her sidekicks, a "flawless" foul-mouthed American transvestite (Vena Cava) and a telepathic mute girl (Talking Tina) in an action-packed romp in the underworld.If you follow French comedy farces, like the Eric and Ramzy films, you know that the best part is finding all of the "homages" to other movies and popular culture. These include the Exorcist, Hellraiser, Nightbreed, Indiana Jones, Duran Duran, The Three Stooges and many more (in both French and English).
