American Nightmare is a 1983 Canadian horror/thriller film directed by Don McBrearty and starring Lawrence Day, Neil Dainard, and Michael Ironside.
Wealthy pianist Eric Blade (Lawrence Day) tries to locate his missing runaway sister in an unnamed city. His journey takes him to seedy sex shops and strip joints. The police are not really interested in a missing hooker until they find out she is the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
Brett H. from Oh, the Horror! gave the film a positive review, writing, "American Nightmare will impress some and turn off others, but its decaying and seedy aspects are undeniable".
American Nightmare was released on DVD by Scorpion Records on Nov 6, 2012.
