Tomato 3.5/4 |

Linda Cook |
Tomato 3/4 |
Accepted (2006) |

Linda Cook |
Splat 1.5/4 |
An American Haunting (2006) |
"Whatever really lurks behind the story of the kinda-famous Bell Witch remains hidden in "An American Haunting," a murky script that only makes us wonder all the more: What the heck?
