    American Maniacs {2010}

    aka Fetch




    Director: C.M Downs Writer: Trent Haaga and C.M. Downs




    In a small town in Kansas, six members of an evangelical Christian group are kidnapped by a psychotic group of violent ex-cons, perverted cops and murderers. Held hostage for the sadistic pleasure of their tormentors, the victims slowly begin to realize that outside help will not be coming. With no other options and time quickly running out they must band together and fight back against their twisted tormenters for any hope of survival.






    This is what I'm reading..

    What Downs has realized with this venture is nothing short of stupefying. American MANIACS may very well be the best European film not made by a European. It's sensibilities are right in line with those revered directors across the pond. Dark, emotional themes weave their way in and out of haunting landscapes and with the help of a beautifully visceral visual and auditory design, create a tapestry that is as much lush as it is sparse: as gorgeous as it is frightening. It's a film that Downs has clearly poured the very essence of his being into, but more than that: it's representative of a moment in time when an artist steps forward and redefines a genre, pulling at the very seams of it's constraints.






    I want this film...

    I think quite possible THIS one is my "The Orphan Killer" for this year. I loved the insane look in the guys eyes wearing that gimp mask.

    Unfortunately I was unable to watch the first video due to being unavailable in this country

    Independent film certainly, but underground horror? Looks a little too refined and big budget to be an underground film unless I'm missing something.



    Well I'm missing this film from my collection so I guess I am missing something

    Not available at ebay , and only streaming on amazon................WTF??!!

    My kind of movie. The masked sadistic murderer looks nice, he has a stupid laugh though.

    I went into this movie like there would be a bunch of insane fucks that took a Christian group captive and they would torture and kill them. No.

    Yeah there were church kids, insane fuckers, and the normal {so called normal}

    They were all separate...and it worked so well. This film was amazing, depressing and sic. Their stories all tied in and the film had an incredible ending.

    Only problem I had was with the main actress {the stripper} she is annoying as fuck with her whiney voice. She was in the Human Centipede films..


    Anyway fuck her. 8/10. Watch this soon.

    For those that don't want to stream from Amazon : If you have Movies on Demand with your cable subscription they do have American Maniacs for $4.99 Standard viewing or $5.99 for Hi-Def

    Although it costs just a little bit more I'll get it there. Besides the tv screen puts the computer screen to shame

    Finished watching this. Honestly save your money for a better film . The film drags, and the only thing semi-good was the last 15 minutes. Trailer looked interesting , but it's deceiving
