Haunter-480P

A very slow film very confusing, not a bit scary The best part of the film was the end. 1 and a half hours of my life i will never back. I have see better films hated the way it kept jumping back and forward Acting was not Great either, Even though it was only on for just over an hour and a half it felt so much longer. Kept watching it with the hope something exciting was going to happen , but unfortunately it didn't. So hard to find a decent horror movie thee days, I read the Synopsis of the Haunter and it sounded like a great film so i thought i would give it a watch, but was so disappointed. I love watching movies and most of the reviews i get from the site is quiet positive, and spot on. just not on this case.

Spoiler Alert. Watch first and enjoy if you don't want another's p;reception of the film. The movie. Well, it has moments but is a little, no, quite a bit disjointed. The character flipping sometimes works but mostly doesn't. Why the same character (Carol I think.) keeps coming back as a ghost guide to Lisa in a way is confusing. The statement that Lisa must stay away from the living uttered by a spooky voice only confuses and does not explain anything pertinent to the movie. Is she dead? If so, who bother with anything awake or not? If dead and unaware as are her parents, no harm done. Only when one "wakes up" do bad things start happening. This is a major flaw. The twist plot is set up in a ham-handed kind of way so that the surprise that worked well in a movie like "The Sixth Sense" misses here. The time shifts and resets occur too often to really follow the suspense. Too many fathers or not enough. Why only one family to interact with when so many children were supposedly taken? There are some creepy moments which are more or less typical horror movie fare. Amazing how "It was a dark and stormy night" scenarios still are the basis of thrillers and suspense movies. After all, there's nothing more frightening than a young girl crawling into a confined, dark place in search of some kind of evil of which she barely understands. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. So alone she braves the unknown. Cliché? So, is she dead and awake or is she not dead and asleep or dreaming while dead or in a limbo that resembles Hell more than an afterlife. And the family is supposedly put there by an evil force that possesses the fathers? Then where are all the others who were victims of the same evil? I kept waiting to see them but they never appeared. When I( see movies like this, I always hope they will achieve the level of "The Lovely Bones." But in comparison, TLB was leagues above this effort.

Good twists on the same story, or is it? (not really a spoiler: It is.) Abigail Breslin continues to be one of the best actors there will be, this is her movie, and she steals it from herself without stepping on her toes. Not a graphic horror film, however there are some good scares, and a lot of tense scenes, but this is very well acted, and there are no sharp objects to be afraid of. Your teen won't come away any more scared than you have made them already, and you'll be taken on a nice ride as well. Good work by the Production team, and staff, the movie looks Hollywood even though it was mostly filmed in a small area a bit North East of there. ;)Enjoy.

In 1985, on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Lisa (Abigail Breslin) discovers that she is stuck in time, living the same day over and over with her parents Bruce (Peter Outerbridge) and Carol (Michelle Nolden) and her little brother Robbie (Peter DaCunha). Soon she learns that they are dead and trapped on the day that they were murdered but she finds that she can contact other people. Out of the blue, a stranger (Stephen McHattie) comes to her house telling that he is going to fix the telephone line but indeed to threaten her to stop the contacts. Lisa finds that she is contacting victims of the killer in different timelines including the future, and the killer's name is Oscar. Will be possible to Lisa to stop the evil Oscar? "Haunter" is an intriguing ghost story with a promising idea of an evil spirit, but with a deceptive conclusion. The story is a combination of "The Others" with "Groundhog Day" and "The Twilight Zone", with good performance of Abigail Breslin. But the corny conclusion could be better. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): Not Available

I just finished watching Haunter based on the number of good reviews on here (I actually didn't remember seeing any bad reviews) and now I'm really questioning if we all watched the same movie. There was zero character explanation, zero character development which left the story dry. While watching I was left so confused, left with so many unanswered questions. Things would constantly happen without any explanation why. There was no explanation or reasoning for anything that happened in the film. I never write reviews, but this film was the worst I have ever seen. It's not thriller, it's not horror, it's definitely a lot a mystery (not in a good way), it's just straight up BORING.

A pleasant surprise. I put off watching this movie because I felt the idea of a ghost being haunted by humans was already covered in "The Others." However, this one added a few additional twists which made an intriguing story which I definitely needed to see through to the end with no disappointments, including how the actors carried their roles. There is no gore, if you don't mind seeing a few skeletal remains or the process of a body dying and crumbling. If you like complex stories more than visual gore, this is definitely a must see. This line is added to satisfy IMDb's idea that a review must be long and boring to be submitted.

Not bad movie , Teenage girl wakening on the same day, every day and figured out she is re-living the same day of her and family were killed, she not told her dead family left but as the movies goes on, one by one they find out! The lisa the teenage girl who tries to contact the living, she try to escape end her endless nightmare. there is no living the house or time. Evil man that tires warn not to contact the living or seen be sorry! I did not expect any thing from this movie, i found it really, really enjoyable and there were some creepy moment from the ghost point of view. 8 out of 10
