American Carnage

Really disappointed in this film.

Started off with potential and then they get to te Care Home and it just gets stupid and lazy.

Some really irritating cliche characters.

It tried its best to have a message but because it was Troma level bad it was lost amongst the dross.

It had moments of GET OUT in there but without any of the suspense or good writing, acting or direction.

Extra points added purely for attractive female leads.

And the one scene where a patient twists and consorts which was kinda cool.....but want explained at all and just added as an after thought.

The villains were almost scooby doo level cringe.

Who was the target audience here?

It seemed to fail in every area. The CGI was very cheap and fake looking.

Once they got to the Care facility it was fail after plot hole after fail. Like they just didn't know where to go with it.

It had no fun element and no comedy.

The 'Dog' character was so overracted it became irritating.

A huge blot on Ortega's resume.

Avoid.

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.

It's a movie violently made in Trump's image. What if Trump were way more evil and disgusting? The answer is simple : a very interesting story will be born. Although the ending is rather predictable, I can still enjoy this movie a lot. Give it a go, you won't regret watching this one.

I think American Carnage deserves a higher rating than it actually gets on here. The story was entertaining to watch. It surprised me positively. Sure, republican Trump lovers won't love it, but do we really care? Personally I wouldn't have played the comedy card with this one. I think just horror and mystery would have made it much better. As for the acting there are for sure actors that could do better but overall it was watchable. The horror scenes were kinda creepy, it could have used more of those. The cinematography wasn't bad, and would probably have been better with a higher budget. American Carnage will please fans of surprising horror stories.
