The Celluloid Screams Twisted Bumper Competition Winner Announced by Us

Sylvia Soska and I judged the Celluloid Screams Twisted Bumper competition!! AMAZING entries, check out as we announce the winner ;)

And, yes, this is uncut and totally how we make our vids, ha ha

Chirality Nail Polish's New Line, Black is the New Black is Available Now!!

"Now on to these sickeningly beautiful polishes!  

Soska is a black linear holo. When I say Black Holo, I don't mean dark grey holo. I mean black like the inky void. This polish is the truest Black holo I have ever gotten to try, and I loooove it.  

Two layers finds opaqueness, and I used a thin layer of Poshe topcoat, which did not dull the holo effect. I can't tell you how awesome it is to see no greying from the holographic pigment - A real must have!  

The holo itself is strong and very colorful, giving the full spectrum of colors on each nail in most light. It's almost like a pitch black base and a sparkling rainbow were meant to go together!" (full piece here)

 

"And here is the stunning Soska.  

Soska was named after the (in)famous Soska Twins...aka the Twisted Twins. If you are a fan of horror movies, especially the more underground variety, you may know the Soska sisters from such films as American Mary, Dead Hooker In a Trunk as well as the upcoming See No Evil 2 and ABC's of Death 2. They are a writing, producing, directing and acting powerhouse team, check them out. They've also got an upcoming release in XX, an all-female horror anthology.  

Soska is the creme de la creme of holo. It was virtually a one coat polish! This is the first true linear holo that Chirality has done and they blew it out of the barn. Even my boyfriend oooohed and aaaahed all over it when he saw it!  

This does show the polish at 2 coats, but that was just for photography sake. The formula is spectacular and the holo rainbow in this polish is to die for!" (full piece here)

"On to the polish!! 

First lets check out Chirality's new labels! I think they are very fun and make me think of the 80's. hahaha I dont know why. I think they look better and are easier to see but I do wish they were are transparent on the darker colors. 

This is Soska. 

This polish was inspired by the Soska Twins. They make horror movies including the one I mentioned above as well as Dead Hooker in a Trunk. For this polish I used two coats that covered incredibly well." (full piece here)

All Female Anthology - XX - Announced at AFM!!

Jen and I are so fucking honored to be a part of XX with Jovanka Vuckovic, Jen Lynch, Mary Harron, Karyn Kusama, and Sophia Carrillo. Huge thank you to Todd Brown who fucking rocks!!!

"Said Brown: "One of the givens of so many horror films has been the objectification of young women, and we thought it was time for a different approach to scaring audiences and letting the female voice be heard." 

"We know that women make up about half of the audience for horror films, and yet female creative voice has been nearly silent in the horror genre," said Newman, executive vp of Dark Sky Films' parent company, MPI. "So we are thrilled about the new and distinct approach that these talented directors will bring to the project.""

Ain't It Cool Thinks American Mary is Cool

"If one has never seen recreational body modification in its various forms, I can understand why some folks would be seriously ooked out by AMERICAN MARY, the latest in what seems to be a new wave of body horror films which may have been restarted with HUMAN CENTIPEDE, but has really taken shape with this past year’s VICTIM, THE SKIN I LIVE IN, EXCISION, ERRORS OF THE HUMAN BODY and ANTIVIRAL, to name a few. I don’t mean to be jaded, but while I don’t have any body mods myself (besides tattoos), I have seen my fair share in my time. So on that initial shock level, I wasn’t taken aback as much as I imagine one unfamiliar with the subculture would be.

That said, AMERICAN MARY is one hell of a movie. It’s well acted by GINGER SNAPS’ Katharine Isabelle and newcomer Antonio Cupo. Both actors do well with their characters, exhibiting an attraction, yet an inability to show that toward one another because of the situation they have found themselves in. The story follows Mary (Isabelle), a down and out med student in need of a quick buck answering an ad as a stripper in a gentleman’s club. While there, Mary’s skills as a future surgeon are called upon when she is offered $5,000.00 to illegally operate on an associate of the bar with his eye gouged out. Mary takes the offer and finds herself spiraling down the rabbit hole into dark subcultures and deviant body modification for an immense amount of profit which would shut those student loan callers the hell up.

The way this film is put together is eloquent and delicate, yet occasionally stone cold. Even the opening scene, as Mary practices her operating skills on a dead plucked turkey, the camera zooms in to show this delicate operation with thin instruments making precise cuts. That’s how this film is throughout. AMERICAN MARY is slow to develop and shows a patient hand storytelling-wise, but I wasn’t bored a tick as we see Mary get further and further entrenched in this shadowy world. The directors, Sylvia & Jen Soska, are twins who also appear in the film as…what else…twisted twins with a unique request for Mary’s operating skills. The story keeps things pretty distant, though, only showing us slight peeks as to what’s going on inside Mary’s brainpan with only a few scenes of her reacting to these intense situations like vomiting and taking a shower in her clothes, both clichés but appropriate given the extreme circumstanes."

American Mary Makes Flavor Wire's List of Top Horror

"American Mary

Canadian twin filmmakers Jen and Sylvia Soska have been leading the way for contemporary female horror directors with their indie debut, Dead Hooker in a Trunk (picked up by IFC), and the recent American Mary. A disenchantedmedical student enters the world of underground surgery and extreme body modification where things taken an even darker turn. Ginger Snaps’ Katharine Isabelle leads the twisted character study, and the Soskas allow the antiheroine to flourish without straining to make her likable (often a rarity for female characters in general)."

Cinefille Talks the Twisted Twins

"Role in the horror community: Head sisters (literally–these Canadians are identical twins!) of the gloriously gory modern feminist horror revolution

Claim to fame: Dead Hooker in a Trunk, the 2009 breakthrough independent feature which they wrote, directed, produced and starred in for a mere $2,500 after making a short film of the same name for school. The success of that film would get them the attention that would help finance their next project, the gore-soaked, girl-powered hit American Mary, and the start up of their production company, Twisted Twins Productions.

Weapon of choice: Their fierce fearlessness. Or rather, their unwillingness to let other people’s fears and/or expectations of them or film deter them from making the beautifully and brutally graphic (or, I suppose “twisted”) movies they want to make."

The Globe & Mail Talk Women in Horror

"The rea­sons that women are rolling around in the su­per­nat­u­ral muck, both as cre­ators and con­sumers, are as nu­mer­ous as those zom­bies chas­ing Pitt down a lab cor­ri­dor. One, says Dave Alexan­der, the ed­i­tor-in-chief of Toronto-based Rue Morgue, the world’s fore­most hor­ror mag­a­zine, is that cheaper film­mak­ing tech­nol­ogy and chang­ing modes of dis­tri­bu­tion opened doors for a lot of new film­mak­ers – “many of them women,” he says, “who bring a more fe­male per­spec­tive” to the old tropes.

“For ex­am­ple, Jen and Sylvia Soska, twins from Van­cou­ver, made Amer­i­can Mary, an am­bi­tious film with a strong woman pro­tag­o­nist – a med stu­dent – that touches on top­ics, in­clud­ing a rape-re­venge fan­tasy and squea­mish fe­male-body hor­ror, that are im­por­tant to women.”"

List Film Talks to the Twisted Twins

Can you briefly explain the plot of American Mary? 

Sylvia Soska: American Mary follows the story of Mary Mason, played by Katharine Isabelle, as she grows increasingly disenchanted by her medical school and the surgeons teaching her and the allure of easy money and notoriety sends Mary into the messy world of underground surgery and body modification which leaves more marks on her psyche than her freakish clientele.

Jen Soska: I love it when she does that.

What interested you about the world of body modification?

Sylvia Soska: I was looking on the internet one day and we found this April’s Fool’s prank, at the time we didn’t know it was an April Fool’s joke.

Jen Soska: We actually didn’t know it was a prank until we were filming and we mentioned it and our body mod consultant laughed in our faces.

Sylvia Soska: But the story goes there were two identical brothers and one of them had his arm sawn off and grafted onto his brother’s chest and the other had his ring finger removed and grafted onto his brother’s hand to have an elongated finger, because they were genetically identical you can do limb swaps with twins without rejection. That didn’t disturb me, or even the photos, as much as these big long love letters about being one half and having this connection and I thought it was very creepy and felt very scared and thought what is wrong with the world? But every time something scares me I become obsessed with it so went online, onto message boards and I would pretend I was going for all this surgery, it was just for shits and giggles.

Jen Soska: It was not originally intended for a film, it was just something that fascinated us, we’ve seen a lot of things in our lives and we’re not really phased by much, we were raised in a very open way. I mean when we were 12 we watched Hellraiser and it wasn’t a big deal, our mom would watch horror movies because she loved horror movies and she didn’t want to watch shitty kid’s shows so we watched them with her and she would explain them to us.

Sylvia Soska: Then later we were trying to sell our first film, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, and we had no money for food or rent and we were going down to LA to try and get into mainstream filmmaking and every time we did we’d meet these horrendously awful human beings.

Jen Soska: As you do when you are in Hollywood.

Sylvia Soska: I blame Penthouse, people take identical twins in the worst way possible, [laughs] anyway we met a great producer and he said 'why don’t you focus on your next script what else do you have?' At the time we had nothing so I lied, I was like ‘I have so many scripts I don’t even know what you want to read.’ And I made up a bunch of things I knew we could make up in a couple of weeks so I went ‘this one and this one and this one about a medical student’ and he goes ‘yeah the medical student one, I just want to look it over,’ so we wrote it in two weeks and everything we had been through accidentally went into the script. I didn’t even realise how personal it was until people were pointing it out and I started getting very uncomfortable.

Jen Soska: It’s very much an analogy of our own misadventures in the film industry, we used mainstream medicine instead of Hollywood and the body mod community in place of independent film and the horror community. We were always so embraced by the horror community our first film, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, most people said a title like that it’s got to be a shit film but the fans loved it so much that it became this online cult phenomenon so we managed to get distribution.

Sylvia Soska: And that led to the opportunity to make this one.

Of course, one of the most discussed aspects of See No Evil 2 was that the film was to be the studio debut of American Mary directors Jen and Sylvia Soska, a/k/a “The Twisted Twins.” Friends of the magazine and just bubbly in their demented demeanor, Diabolique sat in to our roundtable discussion with the Twins, hot off of principal photography on their newest effort.
