"American Mary" Is A Wonderfully Twisted Story About Body Modification Surgery... With Ginger!

American Mary (2012)

Katherine Isabelle started out in "Ginger Snaps", an excellent werewolf movie. Though she's consistently done tv appearances (pretty much all of which has been in shows I haven't watched), her movie career has been rather less successful. She was amongst the group of potential victims in "Freddy Vs Jason", she had a pretty minor part in Chris Nolan's remake of "Insomnia", then after a long gap I saw her in an absurdly tiny part within the straight-to-video sequel to "30 Days of Night" (which admittedly I loved).

Apparently she plays a pretty big role in the American version of Being Human and I'm almost tempted to find out more about that. (Except that I'm not even tempted to check out series four of the British version so meh...)

But now Katherine Isabelle is finally in a starring role again. "American Mary" is about a surgeon in training who, getting behind in her bills, decides to try to earn some extra cash in a strip club. However she ends up being promised a rather healthy up-front sum of money in exchange for some makeshift surgery.

When word gets out of her skills, it's not long before she has clients keen to make use of her talents for some particularly extreme body modification surgery.
