American Poltergeist
A group of friends move into a vacation home with a sinister past in Fall River, Massachusetts. Suspicious of the home's owner, Taryn feels a strong connection to the house and finds herself at the center of one of the most deadly poltergeists in American history.
Why it matters
A low-budget haunted house tale that leans into classic poltergeist lore with a regional twist rooted in Fall River’s dark history.
- Practical effects and jump scares deliver old-school haunted house chills without overreliance on CGI.
- Taryn’s connection to the house taps into the body horror vein, adding a visceral edge to familiar ghost story beats.
- For fans of regional hauntings—Fall River’s legacy of occult folklore grounds the film in a real-world anxiety about inherited evil.
- Not a polished studio production, but its earnest atmosphere and sincere scares reward viewers who appreciate micro-budget ambition.
