In 1984 after experimenting with various short films Buddy Giovinazzos debut feature American Nightmares slowly crawled its way into the sub-basement underground of fringe cinema. The film would quickly establish itself as a shockingly grim depiction of a Vietnam vet whos downward spiral takes the viewer on an unforgettable nihilistic journey to unimaginable depths of horror.
