An American haunting
 
This movie sure sounds like something for my taste and pretty promising as well.:)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429573/



Anybody heard anything about this one?

The_Return 04-10-2006 11:13 AM

Agreed, looks pretty good...but Im wary. Probably going to turn out like the Amityville remake...

SodaGirl 04-10-2006 05:21 PM

I saw the trailer online and thought it looked pretty decent.

It's more of a rental then something I'd pay to see in theaters though.

Hey!!! I liked the Amityville remake.;)

Sick_As_Fuck 04-11-2006 12:26 AM

The trailer looked promising. I'll most likely see it just because I see essentially every horror movie in the theatre.

Amalthea 04-11-2006 03:46 AM

Looks promising, I'm into legends like this, I haven't jumped so much at a trailer before!
But i wait for the rental too!

In all honesty, I probably should give Amityville another chance. I saw it in theatres and spent most of the time making fun of the girl beside me who was absolutly TERRIFIED.:p

If nothing else, watch it for Ryan´s delicious half naked body. :D LOL




No, but seriously, i thought Ryan was one of the main reasons this remake worked for me. Good performance..... And body. ;)

But i liked Brolin´s character in the original as well.:)

The_Return 04-12-2006 03:00 AM

I hated Reynolds, I always do. He was way too over the top in that role, which I blame partially on poor writing. Brolin's portrayal was so much more subtle, the "Im coming apart" scene is one of my all-time favourite horror performances. You cared about his character, he was a nice guy and well written. His decent into madness seemed that much more disturbing, and when he finally snapped out of it at the end it was a relief. Reynolds on the other hand was a prick to begin with. He seemed ready to crack right from the start, which really detracted from the whole power of the house deal.

But like I say, I was pre-occupied during a few parts. I can get this used really cheap, Im thinking of picking it up sometime soon to give it another chance.

No idea. It was used though, I forgot to mention that. I think it's still fairly expensive new...

I will definitely try and see this. I met my fiance at the Bell Witch Festival in Addams, TN (she was in a band that was playing after my band played), then we danced the night away at the Bell Witch Opry. it was quite romantic in a Southern Gothic-y kind of way. we also got to spend the night in the only remaining building from the Bell Plantation. I didn't see/hear anything but some other people did (all the bands were staying in the same place).

knife_fight 04-18-2006 09:14 PM

my bad. no, they were mixed up. guys and girls. some of whom I knew well and trust their word.

An American Haunting,what a crock of shit.
Must be one of the worst films I have seen for quite a while, only went to see it as I had recently rewatched Carrie and thought it would be interesting to see what Sissy looked like now.

My advice is don't buy don't even rent borrow it of some idiot that bought it or forget it was ever made. 1/10 and that's only because it seem ok for about 2 minutes.

Hey some people may like it, as you may have guessed I didn't.

Get someone else to rent it go round their house watch it for free and nick their food and drink whilst there, and see what you think.
If you hate it it didn't cost you anything.:)

i also found it extremely unlikeable..



i'm also freaked out at the number of people not who just like the movie - but think the characters are some kind of heros.

same as the folks who are so in awe of serial killers.

i hate them, i think they are cowardly pieces of damaged shit and i'd love to know they were gone from the planet.

all through Devils Rejects i was hoping they family would be killed off ASAP..

hillbilly retards

Yeah... The same was the case with "House of 1000 corpses".

To see all the likable people getting killed in disgusting ways by all the loonies, really made me feel uncomfortable in a very unenjoyable way... It actually made me feel pissed off.

i didnt feel the same way about 1000 corpses ..
it was too crazy - too unrealistic ..

for some reason i can enjoy the stuff that completely nuts over the top...

but i dont want to watch shit that is right out of the evening news ..

agreed - for me House of 1000 was silly and stupid and a waste of my money. . .but Devils R was a loathsome celebration of sadism and the way the film put them up as heros - it made me physically ill

I think Captain Spaulding and Ottis are great, but hey that's just my opinion, and no I don't idolize real life serial killers but most of the people they killed in Devils Rejects were whiney fucks and the sheriff needed a good kicking.

For fucks sake I liked it you didn't, what the hell does it matter?
Surely you have better things to do than go on about people not liking the same as yourself?
Lets face it if everyone liked the same stuff how would you tell if something was bad? If you don't like what I like then the stuff I like is making yours cooler for you.:)
