History YMMV / AmericanPoltergeist

* SoBadItsGood: The consensus of the film is that it's a nice movie to watch [[{{Narm}} if you want to have a good laugh]]. The movie currently sits at a 2/10 on [=IMDb=] and a 7% on Rotten Tomatoes.

* {{Narm}}: Everyone's acting, especially that of the actress for Dianna. It's so wooden and has been compared it to the type of acting you'd see in a porno (like [[https://youtu.be/yO1ZT022Y3Q?t=25m6s this moment]], for example).

* ArtisticLicense: The plot, rather messily, [[BasedOnATrueStory tries to connect itself to the real-life case of]] UsefulNotes/LizzieBorden, the woman who murdered her father and stepmother with an axe. [[spoiler: It's revealed that the house is Taryn's childhood home and it was also the home of Lizzie (who now haunts it as a ghost). For one, the house in the movie looks nothing like the actual Borden house. Secondly, the actual Borden house exists today as a bed and breakfast restaurant, not a house you can casually rent. Lastly, the plot falls apart when it's also revealed that Taryn is a descendant of Lizzie's, which makes no sense because neither Lizzie or the remaining Bordens had any children]].
