American Gothic

Okay so the movie starts off with a prison transport van car accident which kills the driver and 6 of the 8 convicts. The accident really didn't' look bad enough to kill anyone, but okay.

-1 Star for the neck stabbing / cauterizing crap....that's really not something one walks away from....

Ahh they made the opening accident make a bit more sense later on.

-1 Star Because I hate False Accusers....False Accusers should be ripped apart slowly and be kept alive as long as possible while their parts are slowly separated from their bodies....but I digress.....

Okay this movie was pretty bad. But I have definitely seen worse....

3/10

I'll be brief, because no one wants to lose more time than needed here, right?

American Gothic has it all. It starts with a coma-inducing opening sequence. Seriously, you better be well rested while watching it or you'll fall asleep in no time. It's long, confusing, tedious and very boring. OMG! I've just realized it's like the perfect prelude to this movie. Because that basically sums up the whole thing.

Nick & Guy are 2 inmates that just had a break: the van transporting them back to the prison just had an accident and now they're on the run. A short time after they found themselves at the door of a secluded farm house run by an ordinary looking couple. Things quickly go to hell and suddenly they get more than they bargained for.

Everything in this movie is bad. And I mean EVERYTHING. The script is an insult to the viewer's IQ. Editing is a joke. The acting is awful. Seriously, it's very very very bad. I've never seen a movie before where no one can act even if their lives depended on it. Believe me, I can handle bad acting but this movie is something else. It has main actors giving some of the most lifeless performances I have ever seen. It's sad! Photography? Bad. FX? Bad. Music? Bad. And the camera? Jesus! Amateurish doesn't even begin to describe it.

The worst part is that the movie tries to "be smart" by introducing a lot of plot twists here & there...but it miserably fails in that too as a result of how many plot holes it manages to create while doing so.

And one final (pathetic) note: since they have zero reasons to attract an audience by its own merits, the makers of this atrocity decided to lure in unsuspecting victims by saying that it's "based on true events". Well I did my research. Surprise, surprise: it is not. Best case scenario, there's no evidence to back their claims. Worst case, they're outright cheating & lying.

So take my humble advice and stay away from this. It's not even worth a watch for free.

This is an unbelievable waste of air time. The plot starts off slowly and confusingly. Only to develop into a predictable mess. Filled with poor acting and a story line that has faults all over. Like bolt cutters appearing by accident, just at the right moment and injured people able to run away, at speed with life threatening wounds. The law officers in this county were looking for two escaped convicts? More like they were looking for a tin of custard in a supermarket and did not bother to look in the tinned custard section of Walmart. I have tried not to include spoilers, I dare you to watch this and then give IMDb an honest opinion in reviews for yourself. It really is that bad, that it needs to be proved as such by viewers worldwide.

The acting is amateurish. The story is all over the map. It's too bad the other "American Gothic" isn't available for streaming.

This movie is legit too overrated to even be called amateur work. The lack luster effort put into this movie will shine through at the start of the movie, and only get worse as it goes. The camera work horrid, the acting below average even for a grade school play, the sad waste of such a good title as well. Only thing american would have been the farmhouse, def not the wife... and nothing about this was gothic or even dark for that matter. You can tell that the only good ratings on this movie were from paid reviewers or those who had some kinda role in the movie.. You can easily tell just by the way they wrote their reviews,that they are indeed fake reviews... Which that in its self blows my mind. This director and actors need to find new jobs, because not a one of them have a place in this industry. If this is their first movie, I suggest it be their last. So for all of the negative reviews count them being the truthful ones. Because they will save you money and time, or at least direct you to a better choice.
