American Nightmare Reviews
American Nightmare excels when it takes these now-familiar narratives and, in a carefully told slow motion, undercuts them. This three-part documentary definitely feels more classy than the true crime shows of recent years.
“Those months in between were unsustainable and we weren’t able to go back to work,” Aaron tells PEOPLE. “Partly because of trauma and partly because they wouldn’t let us. Who wants to hire a hoaxer? So that’s a big challenge in the digital age. You can’t move towns and get away from it. Anyone can just search you and then decide ‘I don’t want to work with this person,’ or ‘I don’t want to hire this person.'”
“Like many victims, or many people have gone through tragedy, you don’t get all the answers,” says Aaron. “And that can be a sticking point to recovery. So for us, we don’t rely on finding those answers, but what we have to do is move forward in the unknown and focus on things that matter the most to us, like our family, our kids, our work. Those are sustainable things. And having the answers of why they targeted us doesn’t change what we do as far as moving forward.”
“I hope people come away from after they see the film, that this isn’t a bizarre kidnapping,” adds Aaron, who was interrogated for 18 hours by police. “What’s quite bizarre is just the absolute lack of any sort of investigation. All the evidence was there to catch Muller and the other perpetrators within the first 24 hours, but the police put their heads in the sand and said there was no sky. So that is the scary part, is that the confirmation bias and tunnel vision will just lead them to do nothing.”
“This case didn’t require Sherlock Holmes,” Aaron adds. “This required basic police work.”
