American Gothic

About This Movie

So, American Gothic from 2017 is this interesting flick directed by Stuart Connelly. It’s set in this isolated farmhouse, where a quiet couple's life gets completely upended by two fugitives. The tension builds nicely throughout—there's a palpable sense of dread as their worlds collide. What I really like here are the practical effects; they add an authenticity that enhances the eerie atmosphere. The pacing has this slow burn quality that hooks you, making those intense moments hit even harder. The performances are solid, especially from the leads, who really capture that mix of domestic life and creeping horror. It's not your typical horror-thriller, and that makes it distinct in a sea of similar titles.
