American Carnage

The concept of the movie is a wild one. I definitely didn't expect the big reveal. It's a new angle on a twist in a horror movie thats built around immigrants. Lol, you can also tell they aimed a few parts at Trump lol.

I feel like this movie was not meant to win any awards, it was a playful low budgeted film thats supposed to entertain you. Which it did. The Chemistry between the cast was spot on too. Jenna is always fantastic and My boy, Jorge is dope too.

I gave it a 7. I think I rated it correctly. It wasn't too out there, it wasn't a gore fest. It was good story telling and fun at the same time.

I'm seeing a lot of reviews complaining about this film being unrealistic, stupid, cheesy, etc. Well....duh!

The plot basically tells you up front that this is an unrealistic, completely fantastical, outrageous story without any promises of intellectual social commentary or political agenda.

So if you're watching this expecting ultra realism, and deep character driven exposition you've set yourself up for disappointment.

There is some genuine comic relief with a couple of the characters and Jenna Ortega, as always, is a bright spot of the film with her typical snotty and rebellious attitude

If you actually take the time to WATCH the film and understand everything it turns out there is actually some relevant social commentary regarding the treatment of the elderly, "weak", or undesirables of society and how large corporations and the government see the general public as simply a means to an end. That end being financial gain.

The fact is, this film delivers what is promised and nothing more. It is a comical and unrealistic fantasy made simply to entertain. There MAY be a message buried in the mix but that can be avoided and ignored easily and you can enjoy the film for the stupid and humorous ride it is meant to be.

The film can be described in one word - trash. I don't know who wrote this script and who agreed to shoot it.

This is the moral here - all white pagans, egoists, cannibals. While emigrants are cool heroes.

I have nothing against other peoples, but this is clearly overkill. And stupid jokes just finish the project.

Incredibly boring movie... terrible acting, terrible writing... I volunteered to go help my daughter with something just so I could get away from it for 5 minutes. Whoever was in charge of the sound mix should never work another day in their life... the score at times is so loud is drowns out 99% of the dialogue. Not that that matters cuz everything said in this movie is garbage... watching it on mute is probably the best way to view this film.... If you really want to view it correctly mute the film and then gouge your eyes out... and you're set.

When Jordan Peele had a global success with Get Out I expected us to get even more politically charged, darkly satirical horror flicks than we eventually got.

However, American Carnage which borrows a quote from a Donald Trump speech manages to be a decent albeit trashy Get Out clone about a huge anti-immigration crackdown and immigrant kids getting a shot at life they had in the US before through a community service programme which is actually something more sinister.

Jorge and Jenna lead an attractive cast of appealing youngsters in a handsomely shot programmer that aims for the political crossover but lands safely as a fine homevid title that will show legs over time.
