This Friday, the wait is finally over as American Mary, the Soska Sisters' stunning follow-up to Dead Hooker in a Trunk arrives on VOD platforms this Friday, May 16th courtesy of XLRator Media.
The festival favorite that wowed audiences at prestigious venues like Screamfest, Fantastic Fest, Brussels International Film Festival, Leeds International Film Festival, Sitges and more, American Mary follows Katharine Isabelle in the titular role as a medical student who finds herself both broke and broken by the educational system she's invested all of her time and money on over the years in order to achieve her dream of becoming a surgeon. After becoming fully disenchanted with practicing traditional medicine, Mary decides to open up shop in the world of illegal surgical procedures- more specifically, body modifications- pushing her into a dark and often dangerous world, threatening her crumbling psyche with every slice of her scalpel.

With American Mary, the Canadian twins mix grisly body surgery with third-wave feminism
Twins are rarely good news in the movies. The spooky ghost sisters in The Shining, Jeremy Irons's gynaecologist double-act in Dead Ringers, those white-dreadlocked idiots in The Matrix sequels, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen… Time and again, twins are used as a convenient shorthand for all things uncanny, scary and downright wrong. Jen and Sylvia Soska do absolutely nothing to dispel this image. In their new movie American Mary, for example, these identical Canadian sisters take cameo roles as deranged Germans, dressed in identical gothic attire and their backs pierced with holes, who commission an underground surgeon to remove their left arms and sew them on to each others' bodies. Lying side by side on operating tables, they hold hands and grin lovingly to each other, their black lips parting to reveal filed teeth.

Jen and Sylvia Soska made a big splash recently at Cannes with American Mary and Kristian caught up with the Soska sisters to ask them about their Cannes experience and upcoming projects. He also learned about their favorite movies, most wanted superpower, and their weapon of choice in a zombie apocalypse:
What inspired you to make a film like American Mary?
Sylvia: After we finished Dead Hooker and were working on distribution, I was talking to Eli Roth, who is literally one of the best, most coolest people on the planet and he asked me what other scripts we had in the works. I actually had nothing at the time, so I lied and threw a bunch of ideas for scripts that I thought I could write really quickly. He said that the one about the medical student sounded interesting, so I went with that. The idea came from...
