A Savannah Haunting_360P

I feel like very haunted house movie is doing the same thing over and over, but this one really got under my skin. The director is interviewed and explains that he grew up in the home. I think that's incredible because he honestly seems scared and then his sister talks about how she experienced real hauntings in the house too. I have never seen interviews before and after a movie the way that they did, but I really thought it was original. If you're looking for a slasher movie this isn't it. But if you're looking for something that has an additional creep factor above and beyond more haunted house films, this is the one for you.

Horror films can easily default to gore to conjure up scares in the cover darkness. I'm glad to say that A Savannah Haunting didn't take the easy route and I appreciate that the films creators took great care to carefully craft an overall sense of dread that made made me jump during daytime scenes and also actually make me care about the characters; both as individuals and as a family unit. I'm a fan of detail so I also appreciated the little things that were added to reward repeated viewing. Oh yeah, this film isn't all about ghouls and scares- it's also sexy as well. Skin and sexual tension is always welcome in my book. This is the perfect movie for those who love a good fright or the perfect date flick for those who need to have a warm hand to grip tight in order to get them through.

Damn! As a lesbian I find there are very little sexy steamy scenes out there featuring lesbians in supernatural films. I love ghost movies and anything with the supernatural and this did it for me. It reminded me a bit of American Horror Story with how sexy some of the relationships were but didn't get old for me. It was a haunted house movie but had many twists and turns and I like that they didn't care what people thought and just went for it with Tommi Rose and the girlfriend. Their characters were really fun to watch and so sexy! I can't believe that the other character.. no spoilers... turned her down...

"A Savannah Haunting" is most assuredly an intellectual horror film. Even after the end credits rolled for the first time I found it had already become a part of me much like a real haunting. I have watched it a myriad of times since then and keep going back for more. Like a radiant diamond "A Savannah Haunting" is multi faceted. Not unlike the events on which this film was based there are multiple layers which are constantly being revealed with every viewing. Having watched "A Savannah Haunting" at least once a day since it's release I still cannot get enough. This film is highly recommended.

The film is well done with really cool visual cues. You know when the family shows up to the house, it is not as it appears. Sometimes, I think I see things that no one else sees, making me consider watching the scene again. This is a suspense thriller with many twists letting you feel what the McCullough family felt living there with the spirits of the night. It is definitely worth a watch and will make you see things out of the corner of your eye after seeing the film I am not a horror film type person but this film kept my interest. Zak Bagan you should investigate this house. It is totally creepy.

Bottom Line: One of the best slow burn horror films I've seen in decades. The pacing was kinetic and purposeful. The tension and dread just constantly climbed into an unnerving climax that had my blood pumping. My wife and I were super involved in the story the entire time. It really doesn't let you go. Now I have to say... This isn't your average horror film with a scene inundated with guts and violence every 5 minutes. This is a sophisticated horror film with multiple interesting characters. So don't come expecting tons of gore. Another exciting aspect of this film is that it's based on true events. Savannah is incredibly haunted and this film pays homage to the city in its title. All I can say is, Thank God for something original FINALLY. It's been a while.

The movie was ok, mostly for the fact that it was filmed in the actual house where the real haunting took place. The atmosphere was spooky and I liked the first part of the movie. But I was so confused. After the husband told the therapist that they didn't have a daughter named Alice, then why exactly did they move to Savannah? The wife told the therapist it was because their daughter drowned, but if there was no daughter, what was the real reason? And the ending was really disappointing. Once the husband walked into the room of ghosts from the 1800's, it just got really dumb. And we don't even know what happened to the husband and the two kids.
