'A group of friends hatch a plan to get revenge on the bullies who have been tormenting them. In doing so, they stumble upon an underground torture chamber filled with unspeakable horrors. ...'
While the director may be attempting something old school, like 'Halloween,' or 'Friday The 13th,' he pretty much fails at every aspect. The acting is fairly bad all around, and I'm not talking in a humorous way either. What really drives these types of films - is the villain. If you don't have a good villain, you really don't have anything to fall back on, and that goes for the old school 'classics,' as well.
The villain here, or seen on the cover - end up being two different killers. The guy on the cover looks passable for a straight to DVD flick - Unfortunately, the guy on the cover didn't make it into the final release (Maybe the guy in the actual film ate him?) Instead, we get a 400 pound hillbilly who spends his time getting his inspiration from Woody Woodpecker reruns, kidnapping attractive cheerleaders, and having intercourse with his toy doll. Now, most real life serial killers are known for their sexual acts before or after killing their victims - but not this guy. I'm not sure why horror films avoid this detail, but I haven't heard of many serial killers who would choose a toy doll over an actual victim.
Random Ramblings of a Madman: One of the reviewers of this film has been a member of IMDb for 15 years, and has 1 total review, which just happens to be of 'An American Terror,' which he makes a case for best film of the year. As you can probably tell, we're not in agreement.
