LSJTD: American Mary

November 2018

I want to thank the Soska Sisters for this film!  It was one of the first films I have ever watched in the Rape-Revenge genre and it blew me away. Normally, I would feel very uncomfortable watching scenes of body mutilation and there were times I had to shut my eyes. But Katherine Isabelle as Mary was incredibly sexy and I was rooting for her right from the start. The way she tortures her rapist is reminiscent of what women have to live with day in and out after surviving such a brutal violation. She can never go back to the way she was before the rape happened and through her new profession, she teaches him that same lesson.
