- 50VarietyVarietyThis softcore thriller runs strictly by the numbers.
- 50Boston GlobeBoston GlobeMolly Hartley is dull at worst and surprisingly spooky at best.
- 50The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisTame and inoffensive, The Haunting of Molly Hartley is no more than a big-screen lasso for the "Gossip Girl" and "Supernatural" demographic.
- 42Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment WeeklyThe story's a snooze, so the filmmakers punch it up with smash cuts and thunderclaps that turn the most laughably banal items -- birds, mail, an alarm clock -- into cheap jack-in-the-box shocks.
- A dead-on-arrival thriller that resolutely fails to come to life.
- 38TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineHorror of the glossiest, safest kind. It's a boring bubblegum shocker that loses its flavor faster than Fruit Stripes.
- 33The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsIt's a horror film better suited for skittish cats than humans.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckPlaying somewhat like a juvenile version of "Rosemary's Baby," this inept, incoherent attempt to cash in on young girls who can't buy a ticket to the R-rated "Saw V" (or are too lazy to sneak in) will be out of theaters long before the Halloween pumpkins start to rot.
- 11Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovThe real shocker is how hellishly yawn-inducing this utterly pointless and forgettable Haunting turns out to be. It's enough to make you scream.
- 10L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyFrom Freestyle Releasing, the self-service distributor that brought you "D-War" and "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale," comes a movie even worse than those two combined.
