The Haunting of Molly Hartley (DVD, 2009, Checkpoint; Sensormatic; Widescreen)

Where do I begin...THIS MOVIE SUCKS! I'm a HUGE horror movie fan, so I always check my cynicism at the door when I rent or pay to watch this genre. Like I said in the title, it's a train wreck...it starts out okay but never picks up steam and ends in a firey crash that leaves you emotionally and psychologically eviscerated. The cast is mediocre at best, the acting is bland and the dialogue doesn't do this flick any favors(I know...it's a teen horror movie and I shouldn't complain). But, I've seen some great horror movies with a great cast and bad dialogue(Twilight) or a terrible cast and a great script(anything by Clive Barker). With this movie there's not a single redeeming grace. I recognized the kid from Gossip Girl(not Chuck Bass) and the girl from 90210, Nip/Tuck. Neither of these tweens could carry a B movie...especially of this low budget caliber. The film had potential but never evolved. I can't remember the last time I was this bored watching a horror movie. And the ending has the audacity to make room for a sequel...that's just plain arrogant and ostentatious. Do not add this movie to your collection! Buy "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", "A Haunting in Connecticut" or any other combinations of the words in this movie...just don't buy THIS movie...and don't watch it either!
