An American Haunting.
Enjoyable and entertaining spookfest with a rather edgy climax. I can see why people didnt like it, and I would blame the makers for saying "based on true events" while it was actually an adaptation of a fiction novel, which gives the ending a more gritty and "blatant" feel.
Good performances, some solid atmospheric moments...and 1-2 truly jumpy sequences.
Drawbacks - annoying background music, and the Evil Dead-copycat camerawork showing the "entity" at work, and the loud whisperings working their way to sheer exasperation.
Still, I liked it, so sue me.
Rating - * * *
