XLrator has announced a May 31st limited theatrical release date for American Mary, starring Katharine Isabelle.  In addition to this, the company has revealed the U.S. one-sheet which you can find inside.

Directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska, the film 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.

Directors Jen and Sylvia Soska, along with Tristan Risk, introduce a clip from the upcoming film American Mary – a thriller not hitting the States until fall 2013 but is opening in the UK in January.  Risk co-stars in the film with leading lady, Katharine Isabelle, who is featured in the clip.

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.
