Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Purely Joyful Movie!

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Don't listen to the haters, if you're in the mood for a decent teen/scary movie, this movie is great. It's well directed, the acting is pretty good, and the main girl is definitely charismatic.This wasn't so much a gory scary movie, but more of a teen movie dealing with scary devil stuff. The movie kept me engaged. Although it didn't break the mold of the scary movie, it did keep things interesting to the end. The ending is a bit of thinker too.Overall, well put-together movie and worth a watch. Kept me engaged throughout the movie, and the ending was satisfying. Really can't understand why people hate on it so much.

The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) I wasn't expecting much from this movie at all, with all the bad comment on this Site. I thought really bad, I was actually, it was not great movie, I don't think it was bad as people making it out. I liked the how started of with Bang and I didn't feel slow do, there also something going on, I wasn't bored however I did annoyed with far, Far, Far , Far to many fake dream scenes. One and only truly thing that hate in movies, I don't like, it when one fake dream scene in movie, Record breaking number of dream scenes in this movie. I thought the acting was really good for most of the cast, the plot was decent, the movie wasn't all that bad. I actually liked the ending was decent, I thought I been predictable ending, I was wrong there. This movies rely too much on the jump scares, that not scary, So fast you can't seen, if you blink at wrong time. 4 out 10

This movie starts with a father who doesn't want his daughter to turn 18 and kills her. Then the movie turns to 17 year old Molly Hartley (Haley Bennett) who is getting a fresh start at a new school. She is still haunted by her religious mother Jane (Marin Hinkle) who stabbed her in the chest and other visions as well. Now she wonders if she's crazy too. She gets the attention of the popular Joseph Young (Chace Crawford). His ex-girlfriend Suzie (AnnaLynne McCord) isn't happy. Religious Alexis (Shanna Collins) is bent on saving Molly. Sassy Leah (Shannon Woodward) is her new friend. Haley Bennett is a really pretty girl, but she doesn't have the acting chops to back it up. Shannon Woodward would have probably made for a better lead or even Jessica Lowndes. Chace Crawford plays a douche. There isn't much to like about most of the characters. There isn't any tension in the movie, and the horror isn't scary. The pacing is excruciatingly slow. It's basically a hot private school girl horror story without any horror and not much of a story.

Judging by the current rating of 3.8 I was expecting this to be awful however it was actually entertaining and although it wasn't anything new it was nowhere near the worst film I've ever seen. It does make me wonder exactly what people expect when watching films like this. The acting was pretty good for one of these types of films with Haley Bennett putting in a good performance in the lead role and Shanna Collins putting in good support. It's not a scary film and maybe the lack of many frights and gore put off many people. Although this is a film more about the story than the gore there are a few creepy moments and a less than predictable last 15 minutes. This is far better than the rating suggests and worth watching if your at a loose end.
