Netflix Doc ‘American Nightmare’ Looks Like a Real-Life ‘Gone Girl’

Published

American Nightmare Netflix documentary series

Some of Netflix’s most popular shows are real-crime docu-series and American Nightmare looks like it’s going to be another doozy. It’s a story much like the Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike mystery-thriller movie Gone Girl which coincidently was released just two months before the crimes depicted in American Nightmare. Could the movie have inspired the real-life mystery? Hopefully, Netflix will tell us.

American Nightmare – Netflix

It’s a twisted story that begins on March 23, 2015, in Northern California. Thirty-year-old physical therapist Aaron Quinn (pictured above left) called police claiming that wetsuit-wearing intruders infiltrated his home the night prior and kidnapped his girlfriend Denise Huskins (pictured above right). The reason for his 24-hour delay in calling the authorities, he claims, is because the kidnappers drugged him and were surveilling the house via CCTV.

Quinn’s integrity came into question after he failed a polygraph but strangely an audio file surfaced with Denise’s voice saying she had indeed been abducted. To complicate matters, Denise was eventually found in Huntington Beach at her father’s residence. She corroborated Quinn’s story, saying that she had been sexually assaulted.

We aren’t going to give away spoilers about how this case ends, but it’s definitely a twisted tale of revenge and gaslighting.

Watch the trailer below, and let us know if you will be watching American Nightmare when in premieres on Netflix on January 17.

New Trailer For This Year’s Nauseating ‘In a Violent Nature’ Drops

Published

on

We recently ran a story about how one audience member who watched In a Violent Nature became sick and puked. That tracks, especially if you read the reviews after its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival where one critic from USA Today said it had “The gnarliest kills I’ve ever seen.”

What makes this slasher unique is that it’s mostly viewed from the killer’s perspective which may be a factor in why one audience member tossed their cookies during a recent screening at Chicago Critics Film Fest.

Those of you with strong stomachs can watch the movie upon its limited release in theaters on May 31. Those who want to be closer to their own john can wait until it releases on Shudder sometime after.

For now, take a look at the newest trailer below:

Shelter in Place, New ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Trailer Drops

Published

on

The third installment of the A Quiet Place franchise is set to release only in theaters on June 28. Even though this one is minus John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, it still looks terrifyingly magnificent.

This entry is said to be a spin-off and not a sequel to the series, although it’s technically more a prequel. The wonderful Lupita Nyong’o takes center stage in this movie, along with Joseph Quinn as they navigate through New York City under siege by bloodthirsty aliens.

The official synopsis, as if we need one, is “Experience the day the world went quiet.” This, of course, refers to the quick-moving aliens who are blind but have an enhanced sense of hearing.

Under the direction of Michael Sarnoski (Pig) this apocalyptic suspense thriller will be released the same day as the first chapter in Kevin Costner’s three-part epic western Horizon: An American Saga.

Which one will you see first?

New Windswept Action Trailer for ‘Twisters’ Will Blow You Away

Published

on

The summer movie blockbuster game came in soft with The Fall Guy, but the new trailer for Twisters is bringing back the magic with an intense trailer full of action and suspense. Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin, is behind this newest disaster film just like its 1996 predecessor.

This time Daisy Edgar-Jones plays the female lead named Kate Cooper, “a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.”

Twisters cast includes Nope’s Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).

Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and hits theaters on July 19.
