After a night full of violent video games, drugs, and alcohol, they formulate a plan to kill their classmates at the upcoming homecoming dance. The problem is they don’t have the funds to get an arsenal of weapons for this school shooting. So they hatch an elaborate scheme to steal a cache of guns from a local trash pickup man who has a pro-gun sticker on his truck.

A group of friends, bullied and tormented at high school on a daily basis, form a plan to get back at the people who have made their life a living hell. Whilst trying to obtain the weapons necessary for the completion of their pact, they stumble across the twisted underground labyrinth of an crazed mad man. Trapped and being hunted through dark tunnels, their only hope is to escape or be killed as part of the man’s twisted bloody rituals.
An American Terror is controversial with a capital C. The main characters, after all, are planning to murder all their classmates at Homecoming. School shooting is an extremely sensitive subject especially with recent events. That fact alone made me twist awkwardly in my seat as the story began,...

Just as the Saw series and Eli Roth’s Hostel (debatably reactionary films which perhaps unconsciously attempted to ease our psyches in the wake of the stream of beheading and torture videos which emanated from the Middle East commencing with the first Gulf War) drew audience attention, so did George Romero’s 1968 classic feature Night of the Living Dead, via its thinly-veiled commentary on race relations. The amount of sociological discourse inherent in horror is voluminous, and Colorado filmmaker Haylar Garcia is about to throw his hat into the ring, with his forthcoming feature An American Terror (the film’s trailer...
