American Gothic

As a horror film, American Gothic primarily evokes strong feelings of Fear and Anxiety in the audience, stemming from the friends being stranded on a remote island and hunted by an eccentric, murderous family. The escalating disappearances and gruesome discoveries contribute to a pervasive sense of Disturbing dread and Surprise. Disgust arises from the violent acts, while Anticipation builds as the survivors attempt to escape the bizarre and dangerous inhabitants.
