American Nightmare

I heard a lot of positive stuff on this direct-to-video slasher flick, so I got my hands on it to check it out for myself and not surprisingly, I enjoyed it. The story is nothing original. A group of friends are being hunted down by a killer, but they don't know it until it's too late. The killer knows their fears because they were stupid enough to call up a radio show and broadcast it. The killer tries hard to make their fears come true.

This is a pretty decent slasher. The killer was somewhat original and I never really got too bored by anything in the movie. I did however think the scene involving them revealing their fears was a little too long and could have been shortened a bit. There's really no gore, but there's the average amount of blood.

I guess this just proves the point that with a good director, decent plot, and an interesting killer, you can put together a nice slasher film from a low-budget. It seemed that most video-slashers coming out now-a-days was just the same old crap, but at least this one was a little better than the rest and seemed to go back to the basics, which is never a bad thing. The acting was a little iffy in parts, but it wasn't too bad for the most part. I would have given the movie a higher-rating, but I don't believe it's original enough, though it's still enjoyable for slasher fanatics like myself.

OVERALL

Worth a rent if you like slasher movies. Drags on a little in the beginning but it picks up once the killings start. Interesting deaths and an interesting killer. Check this.
