Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Python Hyena The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008): Dir: Mickey Liddell / Cast: Haley Bennett, Jake Webber, Chace Crawford, Shanna Collins, Marin Hinkle: Hauntingly stupid horror film about paranoia. It is also among countless films just like it that are released in the hundreds and are all about as bad as this one. It opens with a father killing his daughter before her 18th birthday in a scene that makes no sense. Now Hartley again faces her 18th closing in at a new school but fears that her mother will escape an asylum. Director Mickey Liddell is backed with visual appeal but the screenplay is reprehensible garbage that needs more than a decent director to improve its chances of being anything other than sh*t. Its portrayal of Christians is another morbid attack but that seems to be the only way the industry can relate. Haley Bennett plays Hartley, headaches and all. Perhaps an aspirin or even a swift kick in the ass might serve Molly well but alas, she is destine to be a tortured soul and will bring poor viewers in with her. Others wasting time are Jake Webber, Chace Crawford and Shanna Collins. Perhaps they saw this as an opportunity but whether this leads to better employment will be the things of luck. Although well made visually, this film is pointless and about as frightening as an episode of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Molly will likely be haunted by this mindless junk for years. Score: 3 / 10

kai ringler i don't understand why this get's a lot of hate,, now i can if this was a review for the Messengers, which i felt was god awful. never really heard of Haley Bennet before,, she is very beautiful and did a fairly decent job of acting in this one. our story has a girl moving to a new town to totally forget her past,, her dad makes sure of that.. apparently when she turn's 18 she's in for a whole lot of trouble, she was almost killed by her mother when she was little. and she has been suffering hallucinations, and all sorts of things. after being in a nut farm for awhile, i guess i would to. so on the eve of her 18th birthday someone decides to pay her a visit. i wont' say who you will have to watch and find out,, all i can say is this isn't the greatest movie of all time and by that same token it's nowhere near the worst,, i will watch again, as i 've seen this twice since it came out,, not a bad movie to watch if you want some thrills and mystery.

D Lynn This is my first IMDb review prompted by the absolute worst film I have ever seen: the "Haunting of Molly Hartley".It is my intent to learn the screenwriter's identity because I will never watch another movie in which this author participates. The film's producers clearly have an agenda and it transparently overshadows the plot at every turn.Most movies, even horror movies, evoke a sort of justice or resolution, if only for a key character with whom viewers come to identify. This storyline breaks the rule, leaving the viewer only with a nauseating sense that the screenwriter and the film's producers have concocted the story merely to promote a Luciferian worldview.The "horror" in this film does not come in the form of psychological suspense, in creative plot twists or even in clever visual effects. The horror in the "Haunting of Molly Hartley" is purely in its ideology: People do not have freewill. Christians are freaks. God is absent. Satanic power is rewarding --- and that's true even if one resists evil, as does the main character.Molly Hartley, the lead character, is a prep school student about to turn 18 when she begins to suspect that her criminal mother, who is confined to a mental hospital, may have formed a pact with the Devil at her birth. At first, the story comes off as your typical made-for-TV series of predictable plot gimmicks but it is in how the characters evolve --- and how the story resolves for Molly --- that carries it from harmless cliché to a faith-bashing, evil-glorifying propaganda device.The storyline builds sympathy and concern for Molly Hartley's struggle to come to terms with her past and her "destiny" upon her impending 18th birthday. A scene at the prep school in which a teacher proposes the Bible as literature indicates the screenwriter's willingness to go out of his/her way to promote the idea that the Bible is not only passé but people of faith are nutcases. The scene could have been cut from the movie with no harm to the plot yet its presence is notable in that the producers apparently felt it necessary to go out of their way to use characters from the movie as a vehicle to convey spite. In short, the way in which this film is written and produced does nothing for the horror genera but it does everything it possibly can to stir real-world controversy.I regret that I watched this movie on Lifetime Movie Network. Until the network pulls the film --- which it has repeatedly aired since its debut in 2008 --- I view LMM and its sponsors as endorsers of HATE SPEECH.Make no mistake: This is not a horror or suspense film in any true sense. It is propaganda and proselytizing under the false guise of "entertainment".

fire-58 I don't think this movie was good. I also don't think it deserves to be called the worst.The plot must have taken all of 3 minutes to write on a sticky note. It was really bad, it reeked of 90's high school movies. It was not that scary at all.It can be a little confusing at first, not because its hard to understand but because the series of events they explain were not explained very well at all.If it is Saturday afternoon and your sick and its raining out side and this is the only movie you have not seen. Watch it.This movie is better then many other "scary" movies I've seen.
