    Molly Hartley is dull at worst and surprisingly spooky at best.

    Tame and inoffensive, The Haunting of Molly Hartley is no more than a big-screen lasso for the "Gossip Girl" and "Supernatural" demographic.

    This softcore thriller runs strictly by the numbers.

    The story's a snooze, so the filmmakers punch it up with smash cuts and thunderclaps that turn the most laughably banal items -- birds, mail, an alarm clock -- into cheap jack-in-the-box shocks.

    A dead-on-arrival thriller that resolutely fails to come to life.

    Horror of the glossiest, safest kind. It's a boring bubblegum shocker that loses its flavor faster than Fruit Stripes.

    It's a horror film better suited for skittish cats than humans.

    Playing somewhat like a juvenile version of "Rosemary's Baby," this inept, incoherent attempt to cash in on young girls who can't buy a ticket to the R-rated "Saw V" (or are too lazy to sneak in) will be out of theaters long before the Halloween pumpkins start to rot.

    The real shocker is how hellishly yawn-inducing this utterly pointless and forgettable Haunting turns out to be. It's enough to make you scream.

    From Freestyle Releasing, the self-service distributor that brought you "D-War" and "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale," comes a movie even worse than those two combined.

    What in the world kind of ending was that? I caught this about 15 minutes in and it was oddly captivating, but the ending just kills everything it was building up to.… Full Review »

    That is 1hr 40mins I will never get back. Quite possibly the most ridiculous lacklustre horror film I have ever seen. Way over the top character build up which effectively leads nowhere, with an ending that leaves you confused but not in a thought provoking way.… Full Review »
