American Mary: Fetish Horror

American Mary was made by the Soska Sisters. It is a really cool horror film. You could compare it to the movie Excision with Annalynne McCord. Excision is probably a bit more "horror". American Mary is a closer relative to something like Dead Ringers by Cronenberg. While Excision was very close to May.

Why is American Mary interesting?

Well, its a Canadian horror. There are not that many. Recently you had AntiViral.by young Cronenberg.

American Mary, like young Cronenberg and Papa cronenbergs films, deals with body horror. But it has an added dimension. A fetish bodymod subculture. That's interesting. When you see the suspended doctor (you'll know the scene) you get a feel for something like Audition.

The lead actress is from the great Canadian horror Ginger Snaps( probably the best werewolf film of the last twenty years--Dog Soldiers included)


Katharine Isabelle is really great. Kind of reminds me of the Australian girl from The Loved Ones. 

The outfits in American Mary are straight fetish gothic. Really cool. But wasn't over the top. 

Here is the trailer for American Mary. Very cool movie. The directors, Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska, are in the movie. They play twins who are looking for a rather unorthodox surgery.


Here is a trailer for the film.

Here is the other movie I mentioned. The Loved Ones. It really has very little in common with American Mary except the actress reminds me of Katherine Isabella...and vice versa.
