This softcore thriller runs strictly by the numbers. Read full review

Boston GlobeChelsea Bain
Molly Hartley is dull at worst and surprisingly spooky at best. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
Tame and inoffensive, The Haunting of Molly Hartley is no more than a big-screen lasso for the "Gossip Girl" and "Supernatural" demographic. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyAdam Markovitz
The 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. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSam Adams
A dead-on-arrival thriller that resolutely fails to come to life. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineJason Buchanan
Horror of the glossiest, safest kind. It's a boring bubblegum shocker that loses its flavor faster than Fruit Stripes. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyLuke Y. Thompson
From 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. Read full review
