American Gothic is a 1988 slasher film directed by John Hough and starring Rod Steiger, Yvonne De Carlo, Janet Wright, and Michael J. Pollard. Its plot follows a group of travelers who become stranded on an island where they find themselves in the clutches of a demented family of murderers. The film poster is a pastiche of the Grant Wood painting of the same name.[6]
