An American Ghost Story is a 2012 movie that stars Stephen Twardokus, Liesel Kopp, Jon Gale, Wendy Haines, Cain
Clifton, and Maureen McElroy. Writer
Paul Anderson (Stephen Twardokus, who also wrote the movie) and his girlfriend
Stella (Liesel Kopp) move into a house that is said to be haunted by a family
who were victims of a murder-suicide; Paul hopes that living there will inspire
his first novel. The first night in the
house, Paul shows Stella crime scene photos of the house and asks her to
decorate one of the rooms exactly the way it was decorated when the murders
occurred because it might increase the likelihood of paranormal activity. (Your
boyfriend isn’t right in the head, Stella. Get out!) Stella is in the kitchen one day when all of
the cabinets fly open and the radio turns on by itself; Paul later comes in to
find Stella nearly catatonic, and she tells him that she can’t live there
anymore. Paul talks her into staying
until the next morning, but she's smarter than most people in horror movies, so she hightails it out of there and never comes back.
I thought An American Ghost Story was a decent movie, but it didn't scare the shit out of me the way some of the Paranormal Activity movies did (which was probably a good thing since I was alone when I watched it). If you like movies about haunted houses, but don't like to be too scared, this might be the movie for you.
My rating: 6/10
