America's Most Haunted

Sure, this is a low budget horror movie, and it's not The Shining, but a good and decent horror movie. I watch tons, and this is far above average over other ghost hunters encountering real ghosts sort of film. Doesn't drag and acting is average. I would recommend. Plus it has James Karen in it. He was a legend.

I thought this was gonna be a found footage movie, it's not.

There is SOME footage that are meant to be captured from the characters in the film but 85% or more are 'normal' footage, just thought I'd point that out so you know that that is not the case.

It starts off as sort of a satire of ghost hunting shows, 'GHOST ADVENTURES' in particular, they even use the same script for the intro and stuff as them.

Plotwise it's very similar to 'GRAVE ENCOUNTERS (2011)' which also started out with making fun of these kind of shows, just to turn spooky and creepy for real.

Where as in this one, they try but it never really actually gets scary or anything and the jokes start falling flat pretty early on and the acting is a bit amateurish over all as is the whole film production.

It simply doesn't have close enough of substance to fill up the 90 minutes of screen time.

So yeah I recommend 'GRAVE ENCOUNTERS (2011)' instead, it succeeds where this movie does not.

I don't know why. I LOVE this movie. I've watched it three or four times, and every time I just crack up. It's scary in parts. Legitimately frightening, without getting dark or resorting merely to jump-scares.

I love making fun of the ghost hunting industry. That might be why. I get really really exhausted with films and shows that take themselves too seriously. This one never does. It has some production value, but mostly it nudges firmly into parody.

Here's the thing - I don't know what to tell you about why you should or shouldn't watch this movie. There's a difference between cliche and parody, and this is clearly parody. No, I don't think it was ever trying to be serious. I think it's all heart, and belly-laughs. Also, Michigan. *shakes head*

I think I might have to consult Alasdair Stuart. He'd know.

If the acting doesn't put you to sleep, the plot surely will. This was an hour and 25 minutes I cannot get back. The only decent actress was Emily, played by Brittany Risner. She gave a solid performance. The concept of the movie could have been good but the acting, delivery and characters killed the movie.

I liked the angel that was chosen for this film. We have a group of ghost hunters. Not real ghostbusters they just fake things and make a tv show out of it which is very reminicent of some of those bad tv shows that are cheesy. Brad newman was pretty good as leon he even had a good voice over when introducing the place. It was shot well to make it feel like an actual episode of a tv show and above all else it was actually believable. The team go to this place hoping to fake another show but they end up being in the centre of a real haunting and none of them are really prepered for it. Overall a decent ghost film that was way better than others.
