AN AMERICAN GHOST STORY was originally titled REVENANT. Maybe it should have been titled "don't watch this movie", yeah, I think that would have been better.
Now I know it seems like I don't really like a lot of the movies that I watch, but I do, I'm just really hard on the horror movies because nothing seems very scary. This movie tried to be scary so hard that I almost turned it off because it was sooooo boring.
The description from IMDb made this movie sound so much more interesting, "When Paul, an unemployed writer, decides to rent and live in a house that's rumored to be haunted, he puts his life and his relationships in grave danger as he obsessively attempts to get the story that will finally make his career." That sounds like a movie I would have enjoyed. Unfortunately, the relationship is over by the first 15 minutes of this film, there are no other relationships in danger after the girlfriend blows the joint, and Paul didn't seem as obsessed as this description made him sound since he didn't try forcing himself on any of the previous tenants of the house he was renting. There wasn't much detail as to why the house was haunted, nor was there much detail as to why there were murders in the house.
All of the scares were cheap tricks, loud noises, loud music, and the ghost was basically a man covered with a sheet (seriously, I mean this literally!!!). Please, if you love yourself, and you don't want to waste your time, just don't do this to yourself. Skip this movie. Just, no....
