An American Haunting
This story tells of the recurring horror that a girl goes through during the night in 2006, in the state of Red River, Tennessee. It is the real story of a girl suffering from recurring nightmares, where her mother still reads an old letter from 1817 written by her predecessors Lucy Bell and will probably be judged in the end of the church. The husband, John Bell, is a cursed person by his rival Katie Bates, who has a reputation for dangerous magic, threatening Yan and her daughter Betty Bell all night.

Unoriginal and unrelenting, this gothic ghost story invests too much time in banging doors and billowing drapes and not enough in its characters.

Takes the most documented ghost story in history and doesn't create one truly scary moment.

it becomes haunted by the unwelcome presence of heavy-handedness, making it seem more like a busy domestic melodrama (with a ghost) than a truly unnerving chiller.

It's never an encouraging sign when a horror movie based on a true story fatally lacks the verisimilitude of, say, Alone In The Dark.

This is proof that it doesn't take lots of bloody gore, big special effects or jump-at-you moments to scare jaded audiences.
May 08, 2006
This is one of the more annoying, irritating, obnoxiously un-scary scary movies in recent memory.
May 05, 2006
There's thunder and lightning and wall-to-wall music. But it still doesn't add up to much of a movie.

This allegedly true tale of demonic possession is weighed down by period detail and ponderous storytelling, which soon get the better of its Exorcist-inspired levitations, flying crucifixes and noisy poltergeist activity.

The frights are few and the moment of horrific revelation is a big letdown in writer/director Courtney Solomon's cinematic treatment of Brent Monahan's novel "The Bell Witch: An American Haunting."
