Shame too, because the actings fine, the gore is rather well done, and the sensual/twisted edge works too.
"American Mary" is borderline b-movie marathon worthy, and will probably eek onto the list because of the starving genre. The films set-up is solid, but right when these characters started to show some remorse, it got interesting, and Then it ended.. A bit abruptly and unsatisfyingly too.
The two female leads saved a shoestring/somewhat inept script, and the film isn't particularly stylish considering its flashy subject matter.
The rape scene and the torture scenes are the most effective scenes so it didn't drop the ball completely. I'm not a "it's great" or "it's horrible" guy on this one. "Mary" should keep fans of the horror genre pacified, but there have been better examples with lesser acclaim(see Hostel). It's alright. Could b worth a re watch down the road 60/100 again the two leads make this worthwhile, but not mind-blowing.
Defo needed more character exploration, a better script, a bit more in the style/music department. Could have been great.
