Audience Reviews for The Haunting of Molly Hartley

    Predictable. Slow-moving. So-so acting.

    How the hell..can you put a Happy go lucky ending where the main character becomes a full fledged demon? or why for that matter? They were playing upbeat music and everyone was smiley, meanwhile the girl is like satan incarnate..oh but dont worry it's ok cuz she has a really hot boyfriend who also happens to be evil. Yahh see everything just works out great. Listen to the happy happy music....WTF !!??? Are u kidding me. Thats no ending! what a sham ! Was that the kind of message they were trying to deliver? As if having your soul possessed by the devil really isnt so bad, in fact it's actually kinda great...Bullshit ! Horrible ending Horrible!

    I almost didn't watch it, the first 5 minutes were pretty boring and strange. But then it got nutty real fast. It held me at the edge of my bed till the end wondering what's going on, who's insane, what's real?! It's creepy, religious, fun and it has Chace Crawford in it. Plus, not one, but two girls from 90210. Awesome!
