Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

James Wright With a name like American Poltergeist you might think that this is supposed to be a parody of found footage haunting movies of the last decade, or at least a blatant cash-grab based on Paranormal Activity. There are already a lot of these movies, but some can actually be pretty good, or at least funny. This movie however has no idea what it is. It certainly isn't parody or comedy, even though the acting, writing, directing, story and editing are so bad that it is shocking that the makers didn't think to try to make out like it was all a winking joke rather than an attempt at a serious movie. Because they went the serious route, there are so many instances where humour could occur that ends up with nothing happening. Comically long pauses and decisions that aren't made light of, terrible effects that aren't highlighted to show their shoddiness, and cringe-worthy dialogue that isn't delved into enough to be anything but just bad.Overall there is no real intention or story behind this pile of trash. Modern haunting stories have such a simple formula that they should be hard to get wrong, but this one does at every turn by combining multiple elements for no reason and making a complete mess of things. It would be bad even with a bigger budget and better actors, because from the start there is nothing there. It is a complete waste of time with no redeeming factors.

pete_betts Much like Baldrick of the Black Adder series of excellent comedies I have a cunning theory about this movie! My theory is that this movie was deliberately made to be so shockingly awful.Why? Well, you make a film that is so very bad that every review is unbelievably dire that people will watch it purely out of curiosity. Eventually so many folks will have watched it that it will attain cult status.Once there the money will start rolling in! No? Oh alright! An episode of the cartoon Scooby Doo was more traumatic and the acting was way better.

goldysclement A horror movie ? Hell no, this is like the mix of all the worst clichés in horror movies in one awful movie. You should actually watch to value any other movie, you'll love them, even the worst ones. This is true GARBAGE. The directing is really horrible, every shots are horrible, not in the right angle, the right lights. Even something as simple as exposition and contrast are not good. The director of photography, if there's one, must be blind, or just dumb. Now, actors, well, if you want a how to be a actor 101, you should watch it to learn every thing that you should not do.The plot : the title of the movie is POLTERGEIST. You would expect some poltergeist right ? Well .. you'll be disappointed because it's a story of demon possession or some s*** like that. The only "poltergeist related" thing is that you hear some noises inside the walls, even though it's the definition of a poltergeist, it should not be caused by a a freaking demon. Overall, this is a great movie, really, you'll love it, have fun, and actually, you'll be really bored, but still, if you want to "chill" with your girlfriend, it might be a good option for your hookup plans

tmarriedchildren This is the worse group of actors and actresses picked out of the bunch. Everybody seems to be talking like the clear eye commercial guy. If you have yet to watch this movie...Don't. its Horrible. What really get to me is that they made a sequel to this movie. I would give this movie on Rotten tomatoes Rotten with a side of maggots, flies, and ants. Just bad....
