Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
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
FlashCallahan The titular character starts a new life with her dad, after her mum tries to kill her.Trying to forget though is no mean feat, as she has counselling, demonic visions, and of course, her mother is staying in the least secure facility known to man, as she turns up every now and again, as a supposed way to keep the narrative flowing.But what haunts Molly the most is the fact that she cannot get away with the fact that under all this horror sheen, is just a really poor high school drama, that makes Hollyoaks look like Shakespeare......First off, the title is wrong, she isn't haunted, she's more harassed than anything, but The Harassment Of Molly Hartley sounds more like a courtroom drama than horror film, but the makers could have came up with a better title, something like 'guess who's coming to my 18th?' Would have sufficed.The acting is poor, it ticks every cliché in the book, and the story has been done time and time again. It tries to reference Rosemary's baby, but it offends it more than anything.And the shock twist is laughable, and is spoilt by the opening sequence anyway.I ended up just looking at it.....
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.
KilRydLoad Oh, wait, I forgot, it's The CW now! This thing is anything but scary, just more teenage angst, high school girl backstabbing, gossiping...and I couldn't even figure out what kind of monster Molly was supposed to be. And every time she attacks or kills someone in the movie, she feels regret...after she's been attacked by those people! Hello?!? Why should she have to say I'm sorry after being picked on and defending herself? Danny Marianino of North Side Kings still to the day hasn't apologized for kicking Glenn Danzig's ass, nor should he have to after Danzig attacked him first! So why does Molly? Seriously, with Chase Crawford and that blonde chick from Hellcats(I think that's her, not sure, but it looks like her), it was like the CW trying to be scary. Oh, wait! The CW actually DOES have a scary show--SUPERNATURAL! Sadly, this movie was more new 90210 and Gossip Girl than Supernatural. Nothing scary about this at all--except what a letdown it was.
