Plot: Facing one's fears becomes a death warrant in this independent horror film. It's Halloween, and a group of friends who earlier spent some time discussing their favorite horror movies find themselves listening to an underground radio station, which is presenting a call-in show in which listeners are encouraged to discuss their deepest fears for the benefit of the audience. While the twenty-something bohemians call in with the hopes of being purged of their anxieties, a different fate awaits them -- an unbalanced former nurse (Debbie Rochon) is also listening to the show, and she sets out to track down each caller, and murder them in a manner that reflects their worst fear. American Nightmare also stars Chris Ryan, Brandy Little, and Johnny Sneed. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Sufficiently Entertaining
Added 4/13/2009

I enjoy this movie. Its low budget and generally lowish quality acting, but I still enjoyed it. It has an atmospheric feel that I enjoy, somewhat eerie, but playfully fun too. I found this movie from Hallow's End, another one I especially enjoy (in a guilty pleasure kind of way).

i havent watched the movie yet. but i am definatly going to buy it. i was actually their when they made it i got to help work the smoke machine. we live right down the road from where it was filmed. so im hoping it is as good as i have heard it is from my point of view back then all i got to see was what was happening on the outside and people being running around outside. lol. if it was scary for you guys think what it will be like for us since the building is right down the road. lol.

People should decide what they're doing...

Before making a movie, you should have some idea of what you're doing. Now,durign the opening scene, a killer jumps on a victim and shouts something like 'you think you're better than me, £%^*%?!" For no reason we ever learn about.

The plot concerning people being killed off by things they fear most isn't used as much as you'd think and all of their 'fears' are either very generic fears or things that can fit into a very generic slasher. And halfway through the movie this plot is ditched so some crazy family plotline can be brought in that doesn't actually go anywhere.

Not because I love Debbie Rochon...

I personally thought this movie had a lot going for it. First off we have a great (female) killer with Debbie Rochon, who was shown as the killer in the first scene. The movie had many clichés, many scenes that directly reminded me of movies like Scream, Halloween, Friday The 13th, and even cheesy scenes that look like they were ripped right from Friends. The movie had a lot of action, suspense, blood, some boobs (courtesy of Debbie Rochon), humor, a very fitting and neat score, and a very well done, and well entertaining climax in the movie.


Some complaints that I had was the whole motive of Jane, and how she fit in with the group of friends. I thought a lot of it was far-fetched and unbelievable. But it is a movie, so I let it slide. One other thing was that the movie could have been a lot more violent and bloody. There were a lot of missed opportunities with it. Finally, the killer. I know she was supposed to be known right off the bat as the killer, but I would have much more preferred that anyone in the gang could be suspected.


I watched Suburban Nightmare before I watched this, and I really didn't care too much for it. The movie wasn't at all bad, I just didn't like the story. Buying this, and knowing it was written and directed by the same guy (John Keeyes) I expected the same style of movie. After watching it, I felt that the movie was not only much better than Suburban Nightmare, but better written, directed and with better actors. Debbie Rochon really set this movie apart, and made the movie great. Her masturbation with the knife scene was a bit unnecessary, but very warmly welcomed. I think this is one of her finest movies from start to finish. I would highly recommend this movie, especially to slasher fans and fans of Debbie.

Two thumbs down
Added 10/6/2005

This is such a bad movie. And not bad in a funny or cheesy way. It's just bad. The acting and dialogue between characters was naseuating. I kept watching and waiting for something good to happen and nothing did. There is no action in this movie at all. They tried to make this movie a psychological thriller, but it fails miserably. Save your money and don't buy this movie unless you need something to bore you to sleep.
