I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I wanted to like this movie, especially since I waited 6 months to finally receive it. I will make this short and sweet. It was awful. NO paranormal activity, just some major family dysfunction. Mr. Calek attempts to convince you that his family experienced paranormal events. There is no proof, no evidence to support his claims. Ryan Buell co-stars in this movie, he does not add anything to substantiate the paranormal claims and to top it off, Lorraine Warren, a well-known demonologist, gets in on the act. Why she took part in this very poorly crafted "documentary" I will never understand. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME or money on this movie. You will most likely be disappointed.

(This review was written by a puppy lover with happy feelings inside) Being a devout follower of anything that the paranormal moniker so mysteriously entails...I wanted to love AGH just as much as I didn't want to hate it (but) Unfortunately, I kept feeling compelled (or possessed) to stab myself in the neck with a mechanical pencil (after it had been doused with garlic, lemon juice and kerosene while being repeatedly lit on fire) Not only does AGH fail to deliver on its very own title "American Ghost Hunter" (which should have been named; DUDE, WHERE ARE THE F@#$%ing GHOSTS GODD***IT!?!?) But...it also falls flat on its holy watered head because NOTHING that happens throughout the entirety of the film constitutes anything ghost/paranormal related whatsoever.Chad Calek (AGH Director/lead character) is the consummate fictional story telling protagonist who draws you in with his enigmatic charm and naive yet courageous demeanor while Academy Award nominated Ryan Buell (financier and supporting actor) set out to find the truth behind the life long struggles of the Calek Family which seem to be facilitated by the inexplicable bombardment of paranormal activity.Do not watch this video if you are looking to find ghosts and/or paranormal phenomenon because you will not find it. You will, however, find yourself immersed in a very well crafted dramatic and climaxing storyline replete with a somber melancholy narrative from the director who leads us on and teases us with photos, recollections and second and third party sourced information that does not appear on camera to ascertain the source behind the activities discussed herein.Ryan's expressions might as well have been portrayed with a mannequin that resembled Steven Seagal because the suspense that should have been created, built and sustained with the camera panning towards his empty expressions was missing.Genuine suspense isn't utilized because none was generated in the first place and while I feel completely empathic towards Calek and his family for having to undergo several life threatening/altering events that are very traumatic...one thing remains clearly omitted from this film: GHOSTS, Evidence, Empirical Data and most of all: A conclusion that culminates the extrication of these demons due large in part because film time simply just ran out OR because nothing really happened.If it wasn't for the fact that I had to pay 1/5 of a hundred dollars just to watch this production I would have rated it higher because it isn't a complete atrocity sans the fact that this title should be labeled a docu-drama and not a documentary that rides on the tails of the paranormal because quite frankly my guinea pig being tickled while pooping is much more frightening and suspenseful (especially when she chews her cage)

this documentary was so fake, the cinematography was mediocre and the attempt to fool someone into thinking this is real is just a joke. i sincerely do not want someone else to pay money to watch this movie and be as let down as i was. I was only able to watch the first 10 minutes before my computer froze up on me, which was a blessing in disguise. If you ever watch Ghost Adventures on the travel channel then you know what a real paranormal documentary is suppose to look like. I have read several things online about these guys from the a&e show being frauds.

It is hard to find words to describe this magnificent film. Chad has such an incredible creative mind and it shows a thousand fold in this movie...from the camera angles to photos to webisodes and movie posters. Everything about this film is a touching emotional roller coaster. I am moved to tears every time I watch it. Get ready for a crazy ride when you watch American Ghost Hunter because it does have great evidence as well. This movie is not just about what Chad's family has endured but about why it all started in the first place...so some investigations take place at some pretty crazy places. I LOVE IT!I admire the bravery of Chad and his family for putting their entire lives up for scrutiny. Congrats on a job well done.
