XLrator Media Acquires Body Mod Horror ‘American Mary’
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.
Whatever you do, Don’t Move: the trailer for the arachnid monster movie from the mind of “Impractical Jokers” star James “Murr” Murray has arrived.
Tickets are on sale now for the Kansas City premiere of Don’t Move at the Midland Theater on September 8 and the Los Angeles premiere at the TCL Chinese Theater on September 9, ahead of Don’t Move‘s theatrical release on September 11.
The upcoming creature feature adapts the 2020 novel of the same name from co-authors Murray and Darren Wearmouth.
Maclain Nelson (Vamp U) directed from the script he co-wrote with Murray and Wearmouth.
In Don’t Move, a church group’s annual retreat turns deadly when they wander into the wrong part of the Ozark wilderness, and something starts picking them off one by one.
Suspicion falls on Ricky (Russell “Russ” Vitale), the troublemaker of the group. But the real threat is far worse. Deep in the forest, wrapped in a labyrinth of webs, the group is pursued by a terrifying prehistoric arachnid that hunts by vibration. When every step could be their last, they only have one choice: Don’t Move.
It’s up to Megan (Lyndsy Fonseca) to hold what’s left of the group together and get them out alive.
Lyndsy Fonseca (Kick-Ass), Russell “Russ” Vitale, and Tom Cavanagh (The Flash) star alongside Hunter King (Life in Pieces), Rob Riggle (The Hangover), and Joseph Lee Anderson (Young Rock). Expect plenty of cameos including T-Pain, Matt Biedel, and “Impractical Jokers” members James Murray and Brian Quinn.
See them assemble into an unlikely group embarking on what may be one of the deadlier church retreats in horror in the trailer below, which only teases the spider nightmare.
“It’s like an alien,” Murray told BD of this movie’s monster. “It really is. It moves like an alien. It doesn’t think as we do. There’s no reasoning with it. And that’s what I love about Don’t Move, the book and the movie. The horror mimics my favorite horror movie all the time, The Descent, which I think is brilliant. It mimics that kind of horror in the same kind of ways. It works on three levels: It’s human versus the other, which is this creature that cannot be reasoned with, can’t be logicked with whatsoever. You can’t talk your way around it, right? It’s completely alien.”
