American Haunting DVD

 Scary!!!...
Set in 1818 on a farm in Tennasee and based on a true story, this non-fiction chiller tells the story of a wealthy farm family who are terrorized by an evil poltergeist, who is known as The Bell With, and it's focus is on John Bell and his 12 year-old daughter, Betsy Bell.

 I DON'T KNOW WHAT POSSESSED ME TO WATCH IT!
An interesting but flawed, and inconclusive movie. At least it has some restraint, and uses atmosphere effectively. The best thing about it is Adrian Biddles' cinematography. Who else could pan a camera across an innocent school yard scene and make it so disconcerting and disorientating. The guy is brilliant. Give it a go, but don,t expect miracles.

 Left you with questions.
I didn't think this movie was as good as I thought it was going to be. It did make me jump a few times, but I thought the storyline was confusing at times. The ending left with no real explanations & still had you asking questions about the whole situation. I did however, like the fact it was based on theories of real life.

 An American Haunting...
“An American Haunting” is an unfortunate attempt to tell a very captivating story. Director Courtney Solomon fails miserably. The only redeeming qualities of the film are the impressive cinematography from Adrian Biddle and the performance of Donald Sutherland. Everything else is just so-so or terrible. The film leads you to the point where you are willing to accept any scenario as the source of the haunting – any scenario other than the one they hand you. As for the bad – and, oh, how there is bad – the ending is the single worst part of the film. What we are led to believe is a genuine haunting turns out to be the tortured soul of a girl who was sexually molested by her father? Give me a break. I know all about the Bell Witch story and that has never been proven by anyone, only speculated. And, all of the material I have researched led me to believe that it was nothing but rumor. John Bell loved his daughter. And, even if he didn’t, the fill does not do an accurate job of showcasing the different sides of John Bell – not enough to let us accept that ending with anything other than hostility. And what was the point of the bloody sheets out of nowhere? Tasteless and unnecessary. I also disliked the way in which the haunting itself was handled. How many times must we watch creepy little dead kids walk around before it loses its shock value. I also disliked the insane number of times we hear the door creak and watch it slowly open. It would seem like these spirits could find a better way of getting attention.
