An American Haunting is a 2005 supernatural horror film written and directed by Courtney Solomon and starring Donald Sutherland, Sissy Spacek, James D'Arcy, and Rachel Hurd-Wood.

The film switches from the 21st century to the 19th, and features a subplot about a recently divorced mother (Susan Almgren) whose daughter (Isabelle Almgren-Doré) is going through something like the same experience as Betsy Bell.

A terrified young girl runs through the forest and into her house to escape from an unseen threat.

The mother goes to her desk and picks up a binder full of old letters, with a note from someone who claims to be an ancestor.

John Bell is taken to church court and found guilty of the theft of a woman's land.

The offended party, Kate Batts, is infamous in the village due to claims of witchcraft.

Betsy is struck with a revelation that the attacks on her and her father are caused by a supernatural being who was born out of her innocence.

She runs out of her house and catches a glimpse of her daughter's worried face peering out from the car window as it drives away; the implication is that the father is sexually abusing her.

An American Haunting was panned by critics, holding a 38/100 rating on Metacritic, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
