An American Haunting begins as a typical haunting thriller with all the mystery and intrigue surrounding its loosely based story around true events. But the plot quickly reveals a dark and twisted fate by the movie's end and we are almost fooled into believing that this would be Donald Sutherland's first attempt at a role that did not end like every one of his other films (I tried not to reveal the ending but if you have seen any of Sutherland's films, you may know exactly what I am getting at).
