Review: An American Ghost Story (2012)

If like me you are a big fan of Asian horror ghost stories this is one for you. The film is not Asian, but American and to an extent independent.aags-dvd-cover

I say it is Asian-Horror-like because it is made in much the same style as films like Ringu or other greats with sudden twists, shakes and violet scares. It might be a bit of a stretch to compare it to Ringu as I guess most films tend to borrow from everything good that has gone before it but I could see elements in there.

The only thing I probably didn’t like about the film was the ghost getting around in a sheet at times (spoiler alert) which bordered on comedic. One is also left with the feeling the young couple sort of deserved what they got after carelessly inviting harm on themselves at the films beginning.

Still all in all a great ghost flick with lots of seat-leaping screams.
