American Mary (2012) What Do You Think of It ?

I first discover this film on an image site connected to yahoo that got me curious
and interested in the film. American Mary stars (Katharine Isabelle) of the Giner Snaps trilogy.
Her roll in American Mary she play's Mary Mason. I can't go into to much details. But she seems to
get paid for doing different things to the victims.

It's kind of one of those torture horror films. But like in some torture films,
it's the girl that does the torturing. It's a gore fest. If you like gore, It has it.
With no unrated cut though. the film is Rated (R) But still some plenty of
gore to watch. (Katharine Isabelle) gives astonishing performance roll in
this film. I think American Mary was released in the u.s. in 2012. released
in the u.k. in 2013. The movie to me was pretty much A-ok. What did you
guys think of the film ? Love to see you're thoughts. Thanks!

Hmmm. I was actually pretty disappointed in this for a couple of different reasons -
-- Rue Morgue made a HUGE buzz about the movie in last month's issue and labelled it "Feminist horror," which definitely had me very curious
-- With such a bizarre concept of an underground body modification surgeon, I thought that the movie opened the door for some seriously disturbing and interesting body horror themes and images...

But it fell short for me. I think that it suffers from being directed by two novice filmmakers whose buzz is bigger than their bite and, honestly, without a strong film around her, Katharine Isabelle's weaknesses show - She's really not that great an actress.

I guess I was expecting more body horror, interesting body modification concepts, and, quite frankly, to be shocked. But I wasn't. Also the ending was pretty awful and dissatisfying. Huge disappointed Meh.

Agree with Chrono, though the film had an interesting premise & a lead but the ending was a disappointment.

Started this last night. I liked the set up but had to turn it off to finish later. Now I am thinking maybe I won't waste the time. Only got about 30 minutes in. She just arrived at the Surgeon party, which I am sure is supposed to go badly for her.

I was hoping for more. I kind of saw the ..... well the end coming. But the way it was up played on some body mod sites that I creep on.... well it didnt really deliver. It felt like the writers were looking to go more in depth on a few parts of the story that flopped. The teacher for one... we see him like 4 times in the movie I wish that played a bigger part. Her relationship.. or not relationship with the strip club owner..was kinda wtf did I miss.

I think it could have been awesome but somewhere along the line lost its cohesion.

Agreed with Chrono.
The story line had the potential to make a really rad flick. A female lead torture flick involving body modification? Yeah! They could have gone soooo much further with this.

It fell short for me, that's for sure.
I feel like they were trying to use the body mod "thing" to shock viewers who aren't used to seeing that type of stuff when in most cases the things these people asked to have done to them in the movie aren't that shocking nowadays.

My boyfriend said it best when he compared it to a decently made student film with a good budget.

4/10 for me, though!

I liked it but it was more of a one time watch for me

I see you gave it bad reviews. but is it worth seeing still? Or should I skip it?

I hate it when people ask this. If you're curious, then check it out. Doesn't hurt.

I just watched this today, really liked it. Much more than just a shock and gore flick I thought.

Great subject matter, stylish visuals, good choice of music and a story that I found more absorbing as it progressed.

Sure they could have gone further but then of course everyone would be saying "meh, torture porn".
