Review of An American Haunting (2005) by Joey S — 29 Jul 2008
Simply put, An American Haunting is the best haunted house movie I have ever seen. I have to admit I did not like or approve of the way the story ended, and the modern-day intro and exit scenes were wholly unnecessary, but everything in between is pure haunted gold.
This movie definitely has the potential to scare more than a few viewers. The gorgeous Rachel Hurd-Wood truly brings Betsy to life, and I can't overstate just how challenging that role must have been.
Donald Sutherland was the perfect choice for John Bell, while Sissy Spacek works wonders in what I consider a somewhat understated role.
