Review of An American Haunting (2005) by Tony's F — 30 Jun 2010
This is one of those that I bought because it was cheap and horribly entertaining.
By the end of the movie I said "wait...was this directed by a sexually abused woman or something?" Then I saw the name "Courtney Solomon" and thought...go figure.
HOWEVER Courtney Solomon apparently is a Male...and he's Canadian.
This is one of my favorite American Ghost Legends of the few that we actually have...and we have a "foreign" director completely bastardize it and turn it into some kind of weird child abuse message? I thought I was going to be watching a fun and spooky "ghost" story not some twisted lesson on incest and child molestation. I actually feel a bit raped by the director...raped out of a potentially good movie.
Way to ruin a perfectly good american folk haunting with your daddy issues.
Needless to say...I still purchased it out of a 5 for $20 bin...raped again.
