An American Haunting

Hot on the heels of The Exorcism of Emily Rose comes An American Haunting, which claims to be a story about the only human death ever attributed to a ghost. The story takes place in the mid-1800's, which instantly makes me question the validity of the ghost claim. If a death had been attributed to the supernatural in 1989, I'd be intrigued. Donald Sutherland is the dead man in question, and Sissy Spacek also plays a role which apparently requires her to scream a lot. The trailer was the usual mixed bag of objects levitating, doors slamming shut, and people running around panic-stricken. Nothing very compelling, nor very interesting. Spacek had a role in last year's The Ring 2, and now she is in this film. That woman is on a downhill slide that doesn't look to be stopping until she hits Carrie 3: Still Psychic. This movie should probably be avoided.
