First Official Still From ‘American Mary’ Has Katherine Isabelle, Good Posture
Weird. I’ve never seen Jen and Sylvia Soska’s Dead Hooker in a Trunk, one of the blind spots of only being at this jon for nine months so far, but I’ll be checking it out soo. I also like Katherine Isabelle, so I’m already earmarking American Mary, the second feature film from Twisted Twins Productions. The first still looks fairly intriguing.
This film is a psychological horror film described as American Psycho meets The Skin I Live In, but riddled with tons of subtle horror references from some of the most well known cult horror films. “The pic follows the story of medical student Mary Mason as she grows increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the surgeons she once admired. The allure of easy money and notoriety sends Mary into the messy world of underground surgeries that leaves more marks on Mary than her so-called freakish clientele.”
Mary is played by horror veteran Katharine Isabelle, best known from the Ginger Snaps franchise, Freddy vs Jason and Insomnia. Antonio Cupo, Tristan Risk, David Lovgren, Paula Lindberg and Twan Holliday also star. Head inside for the full pic.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
