Watch An American Ghost Story For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Excellent adaptation.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Mild spoilers: Very disappointing. The main character was unattractive, not just physically but emotionally. Absolutely unlikable and unbelievable, whether hero or anti-hero. (Not sure which this unsympathetic twerp was meant to be.) He wasn't bad enough to be a villain nor good enough to be a hero. Poor acting kills even a well-produced effort, which this was not. Right from the start, I was making fun of the name - Twa-dork-us, Twa-doofus etc. No producer would willing select such an untalented "star"...unless...midway in, I guessed that Twardokus had ponied up the money for this dull low-budget horror show, and so he claimed the lead. The inaction dragged along (few shocks, no digital effects, etc.) until the very last gasp - the actor's, not mine. Having only ghosts-in-sheets saved a lot of budget money, but the final conflict was nonetheless effective. Shockingly so, since there was no horrible reveal of the ghost's true ghastly appearance. No horrible reveal of any sort. The bulk of the film was just plain boring. Blame it on Twardokus' inability to project emotions or to generate interest.

Given their budget, I am really impressed. Unlike the big boys with their big money, these two did something special - they made me jump! Repeatedly! They managed tension incredibly well. Despite a rather predictable scenario, they managed to make the narrative not feel hackneyed or old. The most striking defect of this film was that they were working hard against a limited budget that really cramped their production values and made the film look like it was less than what it was.The new Raimi/Campbell? Perhaps. I'm looking forward to what they do next!

Loved this little flick. I watched it alone at night before bed and it was definitely creepy. Making a good haunted house story is all in the story telling and atmosphere created. And this little low budget film was well done. The acting was good and believable. Even though it was low budget the quality of the film didn't show that.It had no gore, no sex, no profanity, no nudity, and no monstars. This is not a teen screamer. It is a classic haunted house ghost story with it's own little ways for delivering the chills.Too bad the rating is so low. I don't think this film reached enough of the over forty crowd who like old fashioned horror with good story telling and don't need all the crap I mentioned earlier that it doesn't have.

I made an IMDb account just to review this film. Words cannot describe how disappointed I am after watching this movie. This movie was horrible. The acting, the script, everything was bad. I can't begin to describe how bad this was. The disappointment was extreme. The ONE time i got scared was when he opened his email from his friend and a scary face popped up. That was the scariest part. Overall this movie was a waste of time and all the other reviews i have seen have been more than generous. It was a waste of money to watch this and i only spent about $1.50. I have nothing more to say about this but the review must be at least ten lines so i have to keep going.
