Dissapointingly dull and by-the-numbers, An American Haunting is unable to cause serious chills despite the efforts of its good cast and a reasonably eerie atmosphere. But alas, sleek'n'moody photography and people staring at creaking floorboards can only get you so far, and if the viewer never really feels the character's immense terror.

.. well... yawn. Also, the part of the plot set in the present day just feels like a cheap, terminally unscary ''OMG ghosty shit happened to those people!!!'' documentary you watch on a sleepy sunday night.

Not good.
