movie Review of An American Haunting

Will someone please make another sweet ass western like Tombstone so Donald Sutherland won't be forced to do crap like this? In fairness to An American Haunting, it is the only scary movie to actually make me spill my popcorn. Most scary movies will give you a break between scare scenes to build up the tension for the next one, this movie went from scare scene to scare scene with hardly any break between. The terror is repetitious however, and the only horror symbol we are given - a little girl with blackened skin, is never really explained except in a single vague clue tossed in at nearly the end of the film. You can only see so many exploding fires, smashing windows and girls being dragged about their room by an unseen force before it loses its mystery. I jumped about once a minute and yes, actually spilled my popcorn I was so scared but its a blunt fear that left me feeling empty. Hate to say it but Silent Hill is the better film. When the hell is A Scanner Darkly coming out?
