Today's Vintage horror flick is (American Gothic 1988). the 70's and especially the 80's were a special time in horror movie history. Although the invention of C.G.I. was not invented, the hard work of make up special effect artists and robotic engineers shined threw very well. Tom Savini and K.N.B. were perfect examples of the great talent in the industry at the time. But like most of those movies they are quickly forgotten with today's young movie goers. American Gothic is one of those movies that was very low budget and not shown too world audiences when it was released. I especially like the cult following the movie has had to this date. The movie takes place when a young women who is recently let out of a mental institution after the tragic death of her child is taken to a small island with her husband and his friends for some R and R. But as they wait to fix their plane to leave theyrun into a family who lives in a house in the middle of the woods. Unfortunately for them the family is not very normal. If you saw the movie you'll understand what I mean. And for those who loved The Munsters T.V. show then you get to see the great Yvonne De Carlo as the mother.Anyways this movie has a really great plot twist and is extremely freaky and disturbing. If you like dark style horror then this classic is for you. Teenagers today usually veer away from movies as scary as this which makes it more of a must see. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a remake in the near future.
