The American Scream

A family wins a free vacation to a mountain resort,where the town is strange and its residents downright odd.The kids soon find themselves in deep trouble and have to do a bit of literal growing up in order to survive.The family consists of Father Ben(Pons Maar),his wife Barbara(Jennifer Darling),son Brent(Matthew Borlenghi),daughter Bridgette (Riley Weston)and their two friends Larry and Roxanne((Kevin Kaye and Jeanne Sapienza)."The American Scream" is a frustrating film to watch.It's actually one of the oddest and dullest horror comedies of 80's.The characters are obnoxious and stupid and there are some hokey jokes.I can easily compare "The American Scream" to equally as bad "Troll 2".The character of preacher played by John Kiedis looks like Carl McCoy of Fields of the Nephilim fame.5 stuffed dogs out of 10.A great place to bring your kids indeed!

This film is so so slow. However, I will say this, the last 10 mins of it ALMOST makes the film redeem itself. I mean how can you beat a kill sequence intermeshed with a crappy version of the bluegrass song "The Orange Blossom Special". Thats right, you cant beat that folks. So for the first 75 mins, I give it a 0/10, for the last 10 mins, I give it a 10/10, with an average score of 5/10.

The 2 worst movie I have ever seen in my life are Troll 2 and this. Everything from the plot, the acting, direction etc is terrible. This is advertised as a horror movie but it is anything but. More like a stupid comedy. you will want to kick yourself for sitting all the way through it. It's about a family so sweet they make you sick and their kids and their kids friends going to a small town for a winter vacation. The people in the town don't like kids too well and apparently only the kids can see this. Do not waste your time on this movie. I can't believe i wasted my time typing out this review for it! Avoid it at all costs!!!!!!

This is easily one of the very worst movies made. It is confusing, unintentionally funny, not funny when it wants to be, and strangely sleazy. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! Troll 2 is a masterpiece compared to this trash!

It seems several reviews for this movie just call it weird. Well...IT IS WEIRD! If you are a fan of David Lynch and the Twin Peaks series, you will love this movie. No one asks how they are supposed and hilariously I feel our 5 main cast have a different perspective and reaction to each even in the film. Every character feels completely lived in and somehow also completely fake. From the statue dog and street clowns this will be one of the funniest and liminal movies you've ever seen, if you're cool that is. Its sad this movie never became more popular. I think it's a secret Christmas vacation sequel. Horror vacation!
