We've been waiting to hear about US release plans for American Mary and it hast just been announced that the film has been acquired for US distribution:

"LOS ANGELES (Dec. 5, 2012) – XLrator Media has acquired all U.S. rights to the horror sensation, AMERICAN MARY, written and directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska (Dead Hooker in a Trunk). The female-centric surgical horror-thriller will be released on XLrator Media’s newly announced Screamfest label in Fall 2013. AMERICAN MARY follows the story of medical student Mary Mason (played by Katharine Isabelle of the Ginger Snaps franchise) as she grows increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the surgeons she once admired. The allure of easy money and notoriety send Mary into the shady world of underground surgery and body modification. The film co-stars Antonio Cupo (“Bomb Girls”), Tristan Risk, David Lovgren and Paula Lindberg. AMERICAN MARY was produced by IndustryWorks Pictures, Evan Tylor and John Curtis. The deal was negotiated by Caterina Scrivano and John Curtis on behalf of Evan Tylor and IndustryWorks Pictures with Gordon and Mike Radiloff on behalf of XLrator Media."

The fall 2013 release is going to be rough for US horror fans, especially since the movie will be available in Europe this January. We'll be sure to provide readers with more release details as they become available. To learn more about the movie, check out the official trailer below:
