Read our review from Fantastic Fest

Twisted Twins Jen and Sylvia Soska are back with their stunning follow-up to the indie hit Dead Hooker in a Trunk. AMERICAN MARY is the story of a medical student named Mary who is growing increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the established doctors she once idolized. The allure of easy money sends a desperate Mary through the messy world of underground surgeries which leaves more marks on her than the so-called freakish clientele. Appearances are everything.

WIN A COPY OF ‘COME OUT AND PLAY’ ON BLU-RAY!

Come Out and Play is a new adaptation on the novel El Juego De Los Ninos, which also inspired Who Can Kill a Child?, and is Makinov’s directorial debut. The elusive director, who wears a mask on set and refuses to reveal his first and last name, forged a new identity after surviving a near death experience. To this day, Makinov’s true identity remains a mystery.

Beth (Vinessa Shaw, 3:10 To Yuma) and Francis (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Damages), a happy young couple expecting a child, have traveled to Mexico for a romantic getaway. Francis insists on venturing by boat to a more serene locale; Beth hesitantly agrees. As they dock on a sun-kissed beach where children are playing and giggling, everything seems perfect at first. But as they wander the strangely empty streets, an atmosphere of unease sets in: an abandoned hotel, a distress call that repeatedly echoes from a radio set, the sense of being watched with no adults in sight. When Francis witnesses the violent death of an old man (Daniel Giménez Cacho, Bad Education) at the hands of a smiling little girl, a day in paradise quickly turns into a struggle for survival.
