American Mary Storms the UK This January!

Can you give me a hell yes!? This my friends is off the hook. Not only will Jen & Sylvia Soska's American Mary be receiving a DVD and Blu-ray release in the UK this January 21st, but, the film will also be hitting limited theatres in the new year as well. Christmas has definitely come early!
American Mary will begin its limited theatrical run this January 11th, and none other than the Soska Sisters and Katharine Isabelle will be in attendance at every single screening! Yep, this one is off the fucking charts!


  • Fri January 11 – Prince Charles Cinema, London 
  • Sat January 12 – Edinburgh Filmhouse
  • Sun January 13 – Glasgow Film Theatre
  • Mon January 14 – Sheffield Showroom
  • Tue January 15 – Hyde Park Picture House, Leeds 
  • Wed January 16 – Bristol Watershed
  • Thu January 17 – Duke’s at Komedia, Brighton
"The tour will take in seven cities over seven dates, with introductions and post-film Q&As from the filmmakers, compered by FrightFest’s Alan Jones and Paul McEvoy.

Ian Rattray of FrightFest Presents commented: “After the fantastic reception both American Mary and the Soska Sisters got at FrightFest, we’re immensely proud to be able to partner Universal Pictures UK for the theatrical opening of the film. This is FrightFest Presents’ first step into theatrical distribution and American Mary is the perfect fit for us.”

Already one of the year’s most talked about genre films and the subject of immense praise far and wide, American Mary has actually proved to be a bit of a divisive film here at Brutal As Hell: Nia, as you might have noticed, loved it to death, and Steph was mostly very impressed as well, but Keri was considerably less enamoured. (I’m keeping my thoughts to myself for the time being.) But, as Keri noted, whether your reaction is positive or negative it’s definitely a film to stir debate, and “it’ll be interesting to see how opinion divides up (if at all) as the film inevitably reaches its wider audience.” Well, now’s our chance to find out…"
