I have never been so in love before. The Soska twins are an amazing couple from Canada that are into horror and gore so much so that they make horror films. They also got so into stunts that they learned martial arts to make stunts easier for them.
A few nights ago I watched American Mary and it was completely made independently. I have to say that it was beautifully put together. There was a sense of macabre and there was intrigue, which brought so much to the screen. I'm going to have to buy this film especially for the special features. I want to know what cameras they used, what shots they considered, what were their thoughts as they were making it. I have not seen such a great couple since the Cohen brothers.
The plot was simple, a student of the medical sciences needs money to keep living at her home. She picks up odds and ends jobs to make the money, at first not wanting the jobs but the money becomes more of an enticement as she realizes that she is good at what she does.
I'll leave the rest for when you watch it. It's worth every minute of it. Yes, it's a horror film, but it's also a drama and a mystery.
If I read this correctly too, the twins' parents remortgaged their house in order for this film to be made. That is amazing support and definitely a great way of saying you believe in them. I wish I had family that could do that for me. But some people get the luck and have the talent while the rest of us have to work harder for our talents because of our poor lives.
Well time for class...
