I'm guessing this film will haunt Haley Bennett's potential acting career for years to come.

There have been numerous features concerning the possibly psychotic lives of teen girls. "The Haunting of Molly Hartley" has to be one of the worst of the bunch.

A contemptible cross between To The Devil a Daughter and a dark version of High School Musical (without the music).

Overall, there's nothing in The Haunting of Molly Hartley for horror fans. It's not even a remotely decent effort.

High school horror flick more dreary than spooky.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that teens may be drawn to this horror movie by co-star Chace Crawford, who's part of the cast of Gossip Girl. There's some violent, scary stuff, but it's also mostly bloodless (particularly when compared to movies like the Saw franchise) -- more blood is seen from the lead character's stress-induced nosebleeds than from any of the movie's stabbings, assaults, and murders. The film includes a lot of religious imagery and plot points -- characters read Paradise Lost and the Bible, the lead character is baptized in an effort to remove the diabolical influences she's experiencing, and more.
