Grolsch Film Works Interview with Katharine Isabelle and the Twisted Twins

"Canadian filmmakers Jen and Sylvia Soska previewed their second feature, American Mary, at Film4 FrightFest this August. The twins burst onto the film scene with their riotous debut, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, but their sophomore effort is a different beast all together. A startling horror film packed with rich thematic concerns and delivered with exceptional style, American Mary is destined for cult classic status." ~ Martyn Conterio

 At Fright Fest we had the pleasure of getting to sit down with Martyn Conterio of Grolsch Film Works alongside our AMERICAN MARY starlet, Katharine Isabelle, to discuss our new beast.

Here's a little taste...

The film portrays the body modification community in a positive light. Was that something you also intended from the beginning?

Jen: It was a huge priority of ours to show the body mod community in the highest light possible. We hold them in such high regard.

Katharine: They are the nicest, most normal people in the whole movie.

Jen: I always wondered why there hadn’t been a film featuring body modification in the past because it’s so ‘right now’. And plastic surgery … it’s such a bizarre American thing that you can be rich and powerful and you can have everything but you have the ability to manipulate the way you look. It’s a bizarre value system and people ask us ‘Why American Mary’? With this story it can’t not be American Mary.

Film Shaft Reviews Dead Hooker In A Trunk

Now, I will attempt to mind my manners despite the overwhelming amount of clever and chalk-full-of-cheeky potential titles I could have given this blog based on the review site's name. Film Shaft.

*giggle*

Okay, now that THAT's out of my system... Film Shaft has gotten their paws on our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK. As you likely know by now, the film is going to be released in the UK and Australia in just FOUR DAYS. Yes, on May 23rd, you lucky, international darlings can drag your very own DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK back to your home and proudly display her in your living rooms. What a wonderful time to be alive, huh?

With the release quickly approaching, the completed film, abundant with extras, special features, and goodies galore is available for review. And one of our very first comes from Martyn Conterio of Film Shaft.

And what does Martyn have to say?

"Dead Hooker in a Trunk is totally bonkers from start to finish. Watch it with your friends and plenty of beers for added fun. The future could be very bright for these young filmmakers." ~ Martyn Conterio, Film Shaft

But that's just a little appetizer. For the full review, feast your eyes over HERE.

And be sure to grab yourselves a copy of DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK on the 23rd and support indie film. Our most humble thanks to everyone who's believed in this film. Look at how far we've come. We couldn't have brought this film this far without the incredible support of the horror community. You guys are the best of the best.

Bloody Best!
Jen
