An American Haunting
Director: Courtney Solomon
Year: 2005
Stars: Donald Sutherland, Sissy Spacek,James D'Arcy, Rachel Hurd-Wood
This was a bit of a random choice on a Saturday evening - it was just the top recording in our list, and, being as neither of us could decide what to watch, I picked this.
Even now, I'm not sure I can tell you what the plot is and get it right. It's 1818, and a young girl is being haunted by a spirit who hits and abuses her. If you know why, or who, by the end of the movie, you understood more than I did.
There are some explanations for what happens, but they only half explain half the story. There are also some vaguely creepy moments, but nothing overly special or different where horror movies are concerned. Not a film I'd recommend - unless you want to be thinking "er, what?" a lot.
Rating: 2 out of 5
