A laughably lame entry in the teen scream genre, The Haunting of Molly Hartley stars ultra-hot Haley Bennett as a high school girl who starts to hear voices and see scary visions. Is her school haunted? Is it just her imagination? Is she turning crazy like her Mom? Do we even care?
The school's resident bad girl (Shannon Marie Woodward) is sympathetic, while the class evangelist (Shanna Collins) wants to save her soul. There's also a cute rich boy (Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl) with a penchant for bad pick-up lines…
The horror genre isn't high art, but it doesn't have to be this kiddy either. Director Mickey Liddell directs the film with the imagination of a five-year-old, turn silly everyday objects into a potential scare - the alarm clock, birds, dogs, the sound of mail dropping into the mailbox.
This is supposed to teen horror flick - not the nightmares of a preschooler. Diehard fans of Chace Crawford will get more satisfaction out of watching Youtube videos of him.
