American Nightmares

Two voyeuristic nerds are hacking the devices of people as they themselves are hacked by the feed from story tellers Mister Malevolent (Danny Trejo) and Mystic Woman (Nichelle Nichols) who have seven stories to tell.

Each story has its own cast of actors and I loved that some older and younger actors got their chance to shine. The cast list needs some serious updating. Jay Mohr, Chris Kattan, Barry Hensley, and Clarence Williams III also need to be included.

The seven stories are:

1. Mates - An abusive ex in a failed relationship learns a lesson the hard way. 2. The Prosecutor - An ambitious Texas AG who is proud of his career runs for Texas Governor and has a role reversal. 3. White Flight - Be careful what you wish for 4. The Samaritan - When one good soul reaches out for another. 5. Hate Radio - Another role reversal of sorts with a white male radio host who thinks women should know their place. 6. The Healer - A person preaching to others gets placed in a unique situation, 7. They Will Be Done - Right to Life fanatics kidnap a pregnant rape victim who they force to term with surprising results.

There is a last story but it is best for you to see it yourself.

Would I watch it again, sure if I had the time and had nothing else to do. Meaning that would be doubtful for now. I would not pay to see it but you might want to if yo are a big fan of someone in the movie or involved with making it.

I do hope Danny Trejo makes more like this if he gets the chance.

Worth watching, Fun with decent writing. An average but solid horror anthology. Big on creativity. I can see how a humorless MAGA might not find this movie to be a "Safe Space" but for the rest of us it's all in good ironic horror fun.

There were several former well known actors I wanted to see. Unfortunately their talents were wasted on this poorly made fiasco. Direction is non existent and the script is high school level.

Guess everyone needs a paycheck

I gave this two stars for the acting only, which was decent. Everything else was typical stereotyping. So, the only "good" black man is a robot, the rest are worthless and abusive. All southerners are rednecks and racist. "computer nerds" just watch porn in the basement. The list goes on. 0 creativity, 0 originality. I could handle the political bent but, I know this is a movie, I found the stereotypes to be most offensive. Low grade B movie.

Some of the stories on here are a little too political for me but even those ones weren't too bad. I just wish they would leave politics out and just stick to horror. Even the b movie cheese. If you liked anthology movies I would definitely give this one a shot. It kind of reminds me of tales from the hood 2.
