American Fright Fest

Nothing new here. Still, it does have enough random elements that I enjoyed watching it overall. Drug addict director is given second chance with a fright fest. And of course a bus transporting the criminally insane just happens to crash near by the abandoned asylum that is housing the fright fest. Go Figure! I wish there was a bit more to the ending rather than just "It ends." Production quality is low in some areas (i.e. Did they simply ask people to walk through the fright fest and "act scared"?), but oddly enough I enjoyed the actors and some of the main characters enough to enjoy watching this film. But, if you don't enjoy basic slasher films without much plot or character development, this isn't for you.

Where to start?

Thankfully it's only 87 minutes long. Any longer would have been cruel and unusual punishment, and I haven't done anything wrong!

The script is bad. The music is bad. The direction is non-existent. The special effects and makeup are awful. There is no acting ability on display whatsoever.

Avoid at all costs and find something better to do with your 87 minutes.

It obviously isn't meant to be a serious horror movie, but overall the acting was bland, the plot poorly executed, and the jokes not funny. Leave this on in the background for white noise, I guess. It's a typical B movie with nothing particularly special about it.

Everything about this is awful. The acting, the special effects, the story.

It doesn't even fall into 'so bad it's good' it's just a really bad movie.

... be very afraid. For what reasons you ask? Well that will be entirely up to you. Chances are the reasons will be the wrong ones - a majority of people who've watched this agree, that it's not really good. But that is not my reason for voting so low. It's because I watched it and unfortunately it really did not hold up to the title or a certain B-movie standard.

It does try very hard and I'll give it a fair point for trying. But in the end all the effort almost goes to waste. The jokes do not work as well as the movie intends, the special effects are ok for the budget this had. If that is enough of course for your taste. It's really a shame, because a lot of things might have worked better under different circumstances. But if you're only out for "blood" (interested in many watching many different kills), you may get something out of this
