If you get past the retro Nancy Drew title, this is a worthwhile effort.

Tony Wong, Toronto Star
Rotten

The Haunting of Molly Hartley isn't the least bit haunting. It's just cheap.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten

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.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten

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

Keith Phipps, AV Club
Rotten

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.

Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times
