Plot Story : "Twisted Twins" Jen and Sylvia Soska are back with their stunning follow-up to the indie hit Dead Hooker in a Trunk. AMERICAN MARY is the story of a medical student named Mary who is growing increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the established doctors she once idolized. The allure of easy money sends a desperate Mary through the messy world of underground surgeries which leaves more marks on her than the so-called freakish clientele. Appearances are everything.

Review For Movie American Mary
Alt horror about a Seattle surgery drop-out is a mediocre specimen of the Canadian kinky flesh genre of "Antiviral," "Crash" and "Kissed." End credits say "For Eli Roth."Bill Stamets-Chicago Sun-Times
Writer-directors Jen and Sylvia Soska don't seem to have their material completely under control, but they've created a worthy entry in the Freaks school of cult cinema.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
This is truly a cut above.
Geoff Pevere-Globe and Mail
Writer-director siblings Jen and Sylvia Soska allow their film to turn slack and unfocused after an enticingly lurid, wickedly tense first half.
Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
It's a truly interesting slasher fest; in this one, the heroine gets to be both beauty and beast.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Combines gore, quiet dread, feminist conviction and a visual classicism, often using a red palette, with impressive, unbelabored dexterity.
Andy Webster-New York Times
A sensational opening makes the disappointing final act hurt all the more as American Mary falls in a heap in its final act.
Richard Haridy-Quickflix
Katharine Isabelle dominates the screen from the minute we meet her, and delivers a masterful performance.
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
The almost excessively uneven narrative does, in the end, cancel out the effectiveness of the film's positive attributes...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Watching Mary's unpleasant journey is intriguing and each character having identifiable quirks is a strong point, but unfortunately American Mary isn't really anything all that special otherwise.
Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
Sexy and delightfully deadpan, Katharine Isabelle absolutely kills it as loner med student Mary, so passionate about perfecting her surgical skills that she spends her evenings suturing turkey flesh.
Laura Kern-Film Comment Magazine
Alternately creepy and languid, incisive and aimless, American Mary examines a provocative subject, heralding the duo as a couple of the genre's next great voices - that is, as soon as their follow-through proves as strong as their set-up.
Todd Gilchrist-The Playlist
Creepy, perverted, disgusting fright flick filled with horrific imagery.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
A mindless exercise in sadism that's neither scary nor a guilty pleasure.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Try as the sisters might, American Mary is neither scary or funny.
Jonathan Forani-National Post
Given its many failings, nothing short of an extreme makeover could save American Mary. Scalpel, please.
Steve Davis-Austin Chronicle
American Mary is the newest addition to a long list of horror films about disturbed and disturbing doctors,and it's a worthy one.
Maitland McDonagh-Film Journal International
Filmmakers display a burgeoning talent that should be exciting to watch develop in future endeavors, especially if they stick close to the beat of their black hearts, eschewing the temptation of screenwriting templates.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
The filmmakers certainly exaggerate (i.e. exploit) their subject, but for a community that prides itself on shock value, there seems no sufficient alternative.
Drew Hunt-Slant Magazine
American Mary simply reveals itself as a film with little on its mind, content to scare rubberneckers into contemplating the backstory of the more outlandish body manipulation jobs they've seen in public. A documentary would have sufficed.
