Steineded How sad is this?

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

pendenquejohn The film starts out in a very interesting manner but completely dies through time. The extreme overall creepiness kinds of gets the toll on the spectator and kills the novelty. Without taking into consideration that it really lacks any real action scenes. It becomes then quite repetitive and the end completely reflects that decline I believe.Katharine Isabelle is extremely cold, cynical and quite disturbing. That's a start. Her psychology evolves from being a "normal woman" to a total 'controlled' psycho or even a serial killer to say the least. But I hardly could really differentiate when she was her 'normal' self in the first part of the movie and before that dramatic event for her from these phases of psychopathy. Either her acting was too perfectly suited for the film, which I think it was at certain phases or either it was really uni-dimensional bordering boring at times. At such a point that her true emotions were rarely convincing actually, or if she had any. In other words, she cold as boiling water when she is a lovable princess and still in a similar state when she is in lock-down psychopath mode so, it really does ask the question why did they really try to paint out these two versions about her ? Was just to really build the cheap scenario ? The focus on her life pre- psychopathy is like 3 minutes of the film and there is like literally no build up towards Jekyll.Overall the movie appears totally creepy, disturbing at times no only with the surgical practices that she did but also the certain characters who are literally just weirdos. The combination of 'Mozart'- like music and creepiness tries to pull it almost as an art but not so much.Concentrating on the detective, John Emmet Tracy, his role is actually quite laughable. A true filler for the poor scenario. Casper's invisibility cape was working full time there especially when the end of the film is taken into account. I'm not sure why they actually played this card when they did not expand it to its full powers. The relationship between Katharine Isabelle and John Emmet Tracy is poor, falls completely flat especially when you as a spectator expects a build-up tension, conflict [...] none of it. Which makes me say that he was a complete filler and a cheap excuse to try and diversify the scenario.This film did not really know where it wanted to go. Full vengeance mode, in that case they should have created a better build-up (something which makes me remember Kill Bill, a reference) or a crazy serial killer and in that situation I would have expected a better relationship between the serial killer and authority. And if it was purely about decadence, then the psychology of Katharine Isabelle is somewhat well represented, though, again, you feel that there's always still that rope holding them back and preventing them from really pushing the movie far.Another poor relationship is the one between Katharine Isabelle and Antonio Cupo. You always had the impression that they were to fall in love or have a relationship. Certain scenes make you even believe that she was in love with him, yet, again, all this is really very poorly developed.So my overall and final feeling is American Mary is tame. The relationship between essential characters is left to be desired. Her acting was one-dimensional. But, it had potential which was very badly developed.

Steve B I am giving this film a high rating for the creativity of the plot, story, and sets. I would call it slick and sexy. Katharine I. did a great job....probably on those hotist lists after this flick.This horror story is obscure and almost fun except for all the gore. Most horror flicks just stick to that. This one is a revenge horror film too aside from the other obscure aspects. I think the Soska sisters may be a pair to watch after seeing this. At least for this genre.Skipped through some of the more graphic scenes actually, they were just too much for us.

jan-soutar I can't help but live post about this movie called "American Mary" on Netflix about a woman who's studying to be a surgeon but winds up getting into extreme body modification and goes on a murdering spree. Spoilers ahead, ACTUALLY NO, F THAT, YOU CANT SPOIL THIS MOVIE ANY WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS... Here goes:OK, got it, Goth Katy Perry lookalike wants to be a surgeon but she's broke so she becomes a stripper. Sure, I'm with you on this ride...Wait, she gives her medical resume to the douche bad actor Mark Ruffalo lookalike strip club owner?!? Wow, way to figure out that exposition hole writers...Huh?!? She's not even in the club 5 min and they're asking her to sew up a dude for $5k? You know what, fine as long as Mark Ruffallo Jr stop talking, or even stops being in the movie at all. And now she's oddly getting clientèle referrals from a woman who's surgically modified to look like Betty Boop named Beatrice. Interesting, still kinda with you. Wait, this other lady wants to look 100% like a doll and get all her lady bits hacked off and sewed up. Really writers?! You don't think it takes more than a hacksaw some stitches and an hour to make that happen...? This is an insult to trans-gender in my mind. Dude, the acting and writing is SOOO BAD. All the male characters are one dimensional and all the female characters are caricatures. It's just... Bad.Also not one actor has chemistry with another.Just IMDb'd this flick and the writers are Female. Why would you write such horribly underdeveloped female characters? How is that even possible? And you're twins?!? Just saw they also directed it. Soooo... Yeah. SMH.Oh god, and the guy who plays the husband of the doll girl, ugh. He gets psychotic because she looks like a doll now. Jesus. Also that's horrible writing just to make more gore and bloodshed for the camera. Why are all the men in this film so outlandish? Not one of them has a subtle thought. Actually I don't think the writers know the meaning of the word. Actually after that Asian dude just yelled "I'm a cutter MF'er!!!" I'm sure they don't know the definition of subtlety. IN WHAT WORLD DO YOU JUST TAKE A GLASS OF WHISKEY FROM A WEIRD CREEPY DUDE AT A PARTY THAT IS 90% MEN WEARING BLACK CARRYING AROUND VIDEO CAMERAS??? THIS IS THE WORST PSA EVER. (Or perhaps maybe the best??)Her college doctor professor drugs and rapes her so now TORTURE HIM WITH BODY MODIFICATIONS IN A STRIP CLUB BASEMENT. YES. SURE. WHY NOT. OK, the chemistry between the bouncer and Mary is the first time I saw genuine chemistry. Really good scene for him.Ugh. Penis guy = friend of director who can't act.WHY IS THE COP British?!? Please someone explain this to me!!! Also why do bad writers use their characters names in every piece of dialog?!?Also: LESBIAN SIAMESE TWINS WHO BITE POOR STRIPPERS TONGUES OFF FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON?!? WTF. SERIOUSLY. WTF.The Mark Ruffalo lookalike scummy strip club owner is so bad it's laughable.Really?!? She's going to intimidate some poor girl because she gave a BJ to her strip club owning, bad actor, no chemistry having, Mark Ruffalo lookalike D-Bag? Thank you for setting all the feminism that you built up in the beginning of this film back to Zero. Ugh. And now she's going to give the D-Bag a lap dance and then stab him because "dream sequence"Seriously, the metal looking bouncer is the best actor in this film. He's awesome. Even as a background performer. Not kidding. Hasn't THIS WOMAN LEARNED NOT TO ACCEPT WHISKEY FROM STRANGERS?!? How many times do you need to get drugged woman?!?So wait, the husband of the doll woman decides to kill his own wife, Betty Boop and Her?!? WORST PLOT POINT EVER. UGH.Oh yeah, right, she's totally gonna stitch herself up with 2 scissors and nothing else and not go into shock. Totally believe that.Uh-oh, Mr. "I'M A British COP IN America FOR NO REASON" just figured her out. Wait, she died?!? SHE F'ING DIED AND THATS THE END OF THE MOVIE?!? THE DOLL GIRLS HUSBAND AND HIS PSYCHOPATHIC KNIFE SKILLS ARE WHAT GETS HER KILLED?!? HOW ANTI-CLIMATIC CAN YOU GET?!? WHATS THE POINT OF THIS MOVIE??? NOW I WANT TO SCREAM AT THE WRITERS AND DIRECTORS IN THE FACE. THANKS NETFLIX. KEEP IT CLASSY.

Penny Pendleton I just tried to watch "American Mary"- being that I adore extreme body modification**, I thought I'd like it... It seems like the people who made it didn't know a damned thing about medicine whatsoever though- Really stupid details- like her inserting a syringe that's plunger was ALREADY PLUNGED into SOMEONE'S CHEEK- so even if it wasn't EMPTY it just would of squirted the contents into his mouth. So- stupid. Stupid. Tis a shame. I also can not abide by a medical resident performing surgery without gloves and with her hair not tied up, and with NO CLEANING OF THE FLESH BEFORE SURGERY. It's just... Mind numbingly stupid. Such a shame- because the premise was so promising. American Mary: I got through 40 minutes, and I give it a 2/10. **I have extreme body modification.
