I saw it a while ago and thought it was really strange (in a good way) in some parts and really stupid (in a bad way) in others. It has its moments and is well worth watching, but I don't think American Gothic is a classic or a film I will ever consider to be one of my favourites. Maybe it needs another watch?

By no means a classic, but it's a guilty pleasure of mine. Certainly stands out from some of the more universally appraised film from this year at any rate.

Is there no love for Stan Winston's Pumpkinhead? I thought the monster design was great, as was the creepy old witch, "Haggis".Some of the set designs were also very impressive, and I liked the atmosphere Winston created for the film.These elements more than made up for the lack of blood & guts imo.

I completely forgot Pumpkinhead, had i remembered it i would have been torn between it and my Lair of the White Worm choice.

Pumpkinhead get's the tumbs up from me, too .

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Lair of the White Worm is a great choice,but for me Dick Maas is one of the unsung heroes of European trash,so I'll go for Amsterdammed!

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Only seen Amsterdamned once, a long time ago, i really liked it, just never got round to buying it on vhs or dvd. (now added to the "to buy" list).

Now,go and buy the French disc of THE LIFT Dem.
