delightful if you love body horror, probably a lot less so if you don't. it isn't a serious horror, but it suits itself just fine.

Dark and morbid rape-revenge/body horror film and I enjoyed it a lot. It's about a medical student who is deperate for money slowly descents into the world of body modification. Going into this I didn't realize the lead is played by Katherine Isabelle. So that's a nice surprise. The story is really unique and not as I expected it to be. It's not just a revenge story but there's a lot of interesting things going on. The pacing is slow but it knows how to switch things up and keep me intrigued. Isabelle plays her character incredibly well and so does everyone involved. I really dig the whole vibe and the score. Although the display of body modification parts isn't at extreme level but it does make me squeamish. Worth a watch!

Katharine Isabelle stars in the disturbing horror film American Mary. When a med student named Mary Mason runs into financial trouble she starts an underground extreme body modification service, offering a number of unconventional surgeries. Isabelle gives a very strong performance, but the rest of the cast is fairly bland. And, the plot seems to meander without much direction. However, the makeup and practical effects are amazing; though it can get a little gruesome. American Mary has an interesting concept, but it doesn’t really go anywhere.

Not a bad little story. I wanted to like it more. It doesn't take itself serious, which helps the movie have an atmosphere. But I think it should have taken itself serious more, more often, to also create a horrific atmosphere. I liked the main character, but I wished I'd seen other sides to her. She was a bit flat and just took us from beginning to end with no real intrigue. You can't rely on some classical music for emotional impact, you have to create some meaning. The actress did great.
It could have been more. Mary could have been a classic character but she isn't. Her character change was too sudden, even considering what happened to her. It could have delved into human psycology way more considering the subject matter. This is just my preference and most people won't have an issue with this movie. It was worth a watch and I admire some parts of it. For me, one watch is enough.

This movie is really nice and Katherine isabelle once again was amazing as always

“Giving it a look for my 31 Days Of Horror in advance of listening to The Projection Booth review it.”

Awesome movie a must watch
