Down on her luck medical student finds underground success as a surgeon in the body modification scene, with disturbing consequences. Stylish, well acted Canadian Indie Horror finally coming to home video in the States this week (I've bought the European Blu-ray release some time ago). American Mary received lots of praise at Film Festivals, but I can see people not liking it simply because of the hype. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXqHADm_cZQ I know I'm adding to the hype as well but I don't care. Check it out, will ya? :smile: Title: Re: American Mary (2012) Post by: dean on June 19, 2013, 07:36:59 PM I wouldn't say its brilliant but I really enjoyed this film. Katharine Isabelle did such a great job. It was one of my 'didn't know anything about it going in and then really liking it' movies of the year. It certainly helped that I saw it at a festival sitting directly behind the directors who had a Q and A afterwards and were hilarious, who then also had an after festival party at a bar where my friend and I got supppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr drunk and had an absolute ball. Ah memories. Title: Re: American Mary (2012) Post by: fulci420 on July 06, 2013, 07:45:20 PM Just finished watching this one and IMO it is fully deserving of the hype it has been receiving. Great performances all around, unique/engaging plot and an overall solid pace makes this one of the stronger recent horror movies I have seen. Love that Canadian horror is going strong, this and Ginger Snaps are two fantastic Canadian horror movies starring Katherine Isabelle, looking forward to more in the future!

However, I found the performances very solid and some really neat moments here and there - although I personally think some of the extreme body modders are freaks plain and simple! Still, it was an interesting story, and I did not see the end coming at all!

Katherine isabelle is a cutie. She kinda reminds me of Shannen Doherty in her early 90s prime. Title: Re: American Mary (2012) Post by: Ticonderoga 64 on April 15, 2014, 09:27:46 AM Great film with one of my favorite actresses, Katherine Isabelle. Some bizarre moments and well-worth watching!
