An American Haunting

Based on a true state-documented case that took place during the 1800s. Between the years 1818-1820, the Bell family of Red River, Tennessee was visited by an unknown presence that haunted the family and eventually caused the death of one of its members.

I'd heard mixed reports about this film and thus was skeptical going into it. However, I was pleasantly surprised. This movie's intent is to be creepy with plenty of "jump" points and it succeeds. I always enjoy Sissy Spacek in scary movies and she does great here. Donald Sutherland is also great in this film.

Nothing too graphic, some language a bit of violence. Most of the PG-13 rating is for scary situations.

A decent opener to the Summer movie season. An American Haunting is a good scary movie with an interesting twist at the end.

3.6 out of 5
