Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The Haunting of Molly Hartley isn't the least bit haunting. It's just cheap.
God and Satan duke it out for the soul of a young girl in The Haunting of Molly Hartley, an unexpectedly cynical addition to the teen-scream genre.
It's a horror film better suited for skittish cats than humans.
It would take hallucinations of a powerful kind indeed to find anything worthwhile in The Haunting of Molly Hartley, a dead-on-arrival thriller that resolutely fails to come to life.
