AMERICAN NIGHTMARE
Production: Canada, 1983
Director: Don McBrearty
Category: Crime/Serial Killer
A low-budget, seedy sex-crime film set in the city’s underbelly, where a young man searches in vain for his missing sister. He is drawn into a world of vice clubs, drugs, prostitution and strippers – providing ample opportunity for nude sequences – not realising that his sister is already dead, the victim of a razor-wielding psychopath who is carving his way through a succession of female victims. A grim, cynical catalogue of voyeurism, misogyny and the commodification of female flesh, American Nightmare ranks among the best of Canadian exploitation cinema.
