The lines crossed by ‘Dead American Woman’ are an index of its quality. Set in the twilight between genres – between comedy and horror, art and artless, mundane and insane – it draws on energies lost to more sensible films.

From creepy comedy to poetic folk-tale to surreal horror, ‘Dead American Woman’s mood richochets between registers in a way that defies categorization, either as mind-warped outsider art, insane student project, or exploitation film gone awry.

As Roger Corman has said in an interview, “low-budget film-making enables filmmakers to take chances on offbeat ideas.” Well, you’d be hard pressed to find a film that thrives on the offbeat as mightily as Peter Lambert’s “Dead American Woman”.
The film does have a back story to it, and it’s an interesting one at that. I’ll forgo relaying any sort of details so you can hear them for yourself if you take a chance on going to the premiere on June 19th, 2010 at Chicago’s Portage Theater. “Dead American Woman” is an eerie, haunting little flick that plays out its absurd premise in such a way that it transcends the usual assortment of schlock fare. It occupies its particular dream world in such a way that it was possible for me to take it seriously. It’s a truly strange and unconventional horror flick. It dabbles in exploitative ingredients – there’s some tasty dollops of male and female nudity – and yet is also art, albeit art with a completely skewed sensibility.
The special effects are not too bad for a film with a microscopic budget, and Kenny Reed’s cinematography gives the film a good and atmospheric “midnight movie” quality.
