American Mary shocked and impressed festival audiences in 2012, won the praise of horror legend Clive Barker, and picked up five awards at last year's Screamfest, including a shared Best Director award for the Soska sisters and a Best Actress nod for star Katherine Isabelle (previously known for the Ginger Snaps films). The follow-up to the Twins' micro-budgeted Dead Hooker in a Trunk, American Mary is a much more elaborate production, focusing on a medical student (Isabelle) who becomes disillusioned with the profession – not to mention enraged by a sexually abusive teacher – and takes up a lucrative but dangerous gig performing illegal body-modification surgeries mainstream doctors won't touch.
