American Mary movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Andy Webster, New York Times: Combines gore, quiet dread, feminist conviction and a visual classicism, often using a red palette, with impressive, unbelabored dexterity. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: The acting is uniformly dreadful. The level of incompetence in both writing and direction is a scream. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: 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. Read more
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times: Writer-director siblings Jen and Sylvia Soska allow their film to turn slack and unfocused after an enticingly lurid, wickedly tense first half. Read more
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post: It's a truly interesting slasher fest; in this one, the heroine gets to be both beauty and beast. Read more
Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times: 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." Read more
Geoff Pevere, Globe and Mail: This is truly a cut above. Read more
Nigel Floyd, Time Out: Once in a while, a mould-breaking horror movie signals the arrival of a unique talent: doubly so in this case, since this bracingly perverse 'body modification' tale was made by Canadian twins Jen and Sylvia Soska, aka the Twisted Sisters. Read more
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out: The movie sags after Mary's weak-willed acquiescence to crime, instantly turning her into a dull-eyed monster. Read more
Dennis Harvey, Variety: If these loose threads and underdeveloped aspects leave American Mary less than fully satisfying, it's still a novel ride that confidently mixes horror, humor and offbeat character fillips. Read more
Sherilyn Connelly, Village Voice: American Mary is a mostly gore-and-freakiness delivery system, and that's fine if it's your thing, especially if you don't mind a frustrating plot that doesn't conclude so much as suture itself shut. Read more
