'American Carnage' is a surreal satirical dystopian horror-comedy, starring Jorge Lendeborg Jr. As JP, a young Latino-American trying to live the life of the average teen. When Governor Harper Finn (Brett Cullen) signs an executive order to round up all of the undocumented immigrants and their children, JP, and his little sister Lily (Yumarie Morales) are placed in an ICE detention facility - forced to choose between deportation or working in an assisted living facility for the elderly.
This film fits in the niche category of highly entertaining social commentary pieces, like 'Idiocracy' (2006) or 'The Hunt' (2020); in that the direction the film goes is both insane and insightful. The acting, script, direction, and flow all are great, comedy is hilarious, and the message of how callous and unnerved politicians are to immigrants seems on the mark.
Definitely worth a watch!
