When six friends fly off on a weekend getaway and are suddenly plagued by engine trouble, they're forced to land on a remote island. Looking for shelter, they're grateful to encounter Ma and Pa and their children - an eccentric family living in the island's backwoods. But what begins as simple hospitality turns into a terrifying race for survival as the friends start disappearing one by one ... and turning up dead.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'American Gothic' (1987) is explicitly identified as a Horror film with a plot focused on survival against a murderous family on a remote island. There are no indications whatsoever that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution involve the Christmas season in any meaningful way. It is purely a slasher/horror narrative."
