Some moments are a bit corny, such as subliminal messages coming from a tape played backward. However, I find the spin that writer/director Daniel Farrands puts on one of the most gruesome murders in history, will make all who see The Haunting of Sharon Tate examine the Tate murders, and maybe our own lives differently.
In a film that features Charles Manson and his disciples, there’s something unsavory about presenting Sharon Tate as one of the crazy ones.

Hilary did a magnificent job, I feel like most of the negative critiscm the movie has got It's because these caracters were real people brutally murdered, otherwise the movie wouldn't be tagged as insensitive, but i'm actually proud of Hilary for doing this movie and stepping out of her confort zone, Lydia Hearst, Tyler johnson and Ryan Cargill did a good job too. It's a great movie.

The Haunting of Sharon Tate resolves as a cheap revenge fantasy that suggests its subjects only died because they couldn’t see the writing on the wall.
Farrands proves he’s no Tobe Hooper, but he might not even be Tom Six. What he ultimately crafts is a terribly foolish movie featuring wooden acting, a disgusting premise, and none of the redeeming qualities that even the most repellant exploitation schlock film might offer. Stay away at all costs.
The worst part of The Haunting Of Sharon Tate is how seriously it takes its ham-fisted themes of fate and the nature of reality; the movie opens with an Edgar Allen Poe quote, for f*ck’s sake.
The movie’s petty folly — its failure of imagination and morality — is that it actually goes out of its way to turn the Manson murders into schlock horror.
Starring a miscast Hilary Duff in the title role, The Haunting of Sharon Tate deserves the instant obscurity for which it is certainly destined.
One of the only films I've seen that I would truly call offensive. Probably one of if not the most garbage film I've ever seen.

This isn’t a movie. It’s just a bunch of scenes strung together to make it look like a film but it fails. I was hoping this would be a bad movie that was funny but it wasn’t. Almost every aspect of this film is terrible. The only aspect that isn’t terrible is the music but even then the music is bad but not as bad as the rest of the movie. The acting from everybody is awful. No one is trying at all. Hillary Duff wasn’t as bad as everyone else but she still did a terrible job. She doesn’t feel like Sharon Tate at all. She feels more like a parody. The cinematography was terrible. There were no unique shots at all and they decided to use a little shaky cam for every single shot. The shaky cam serves no purpose and just makes the film more confusing to look at. I couldn’t tell what was going on at the end of the film because the camera kept shaking. The editing is atrocious. Each scene is cut randomly within the middle or goes on for far too long. Editing is supposed to give the scenes a smooth, flowing feel to it which is what this film does not do. Since it’s cut randomly, it feels awkward and rough. It’s incredibly distracting and pulls you out of the film. The script is complete garbage. Every single line of dialogue feels weird and awkward. Some conversations start with one topic but completely change into something else. The start of conversations are so out of place also. One scene shows the characters playing a game and then all of them out of nowhere start talking about fate. The story is incredibly stupid and confusing. The entire film is based off one line Sharon Tate said in an interview in the late 60s. The concept of basing a film off a single line could be cool but the film butchers it. They took this heartbreaking murder and decided to turn it into a “horror” movie. It’s a huge disservice to the actual Sharon Tate and a little bit exploitative. I couldn’t understand what was happening half the time because the film has a hard time differentiating from reality and dreams. There are many different dream segments but you can’t tell that they are until the main character wakes up. The ending was incredibly dumb. The film does an alternate history scenario where they fight off their attackers and kill them but then it shows that they actually did die? It made no sense at all. Thank goodness Once Upon a Time in Hollywood or else this is all we would have for Sharon Tate. Overall, The Haunting of Sharon Tate is an atrocious piece of filmmaking with terrible acting, cinematography, editing, script, and story.
