this movie is the a good example of why horror is going downhill in America...PG-13 bullshit like this is ruing our countries rep in the horror biz...nobody likes it except teen's mothers!
I was actually surprised by this movie. I thought it was going to be another dreadful PG-13 teeny bopper flick. Boy, I was wrong. This was a decent and well made thriller. It goes to show that not every horror film doesn't have to be rated R, just to be good. While I admit the movie wasn't scary and used the same "cheap" scares, besides that it was good. I could understand what the director was trying to do. It goes to show you that even the worst advertisement, you can still get a good film. The haunting of Molly Hartley doesn't disappoint.
Alright, this movie was...ehh. A religious horror movie is always going to stir moments for anyone that attended religious ed classes or catholic schools but this movie was just not very good. The overall story was fragmented and never fully tied together, some scenes seemed to be thrown in for kicks and had nothing to do with the overall story. One plus, I think it was great that the movie had a slightly different ending than one would have expected while watching. Would not recommend this to anyone.
I brought this on dvd today and went and saw the movie opening day...it was alot better than i expected it to be.. Haley Bennet was a good actress and the movie had a good story and made me jump a few times...i love the religious aspect into the movie and the whole movie itself keeps me drawn in...thos movie is a quick good horror flick that deserves more than it got.

i went to the movies and watched this, and i'm glad that my friend paid for it. if you watch the preview on the official site, you know everything that's going to happen in the movie.
spoiler
the ending was very confusing. she stabbed herself twice and nothing happened. it was a decent film, but like most, the ending killed it.

Typical Satan is bad for you, Christianity is good for you PG-13 bullshit.
So um... if I knew that I would suddenly become rich, popular and smart as soon as I turned 18 I would have been looking forward to it. F voting and cigs.

This movie friggin terrrible. Drawn out with horrid acting, generic cinematography and really loud desperate sound effects. If your in the mood for a half hearted ABC family horror event thats just bad than tune into this insepid supernatural melodrama.
Well I went see this film tonight, and I wasn't exactly suprised by what I found. I saw the trailer for it a while back, so my first thought was "Oh! A devil/demon/possession theme movie". Now in my opinion, the devil thing is one of the scariest themes for a horror story (i.e. Amityville Horror, The Exorcist, etc.) It's a pretty welcome change from the typical J-Horror remake or slasher, so I was all on board.
Then I saw what it was rated.
PG-13 aka "diet horror"
This didn't change my already low expectations however, so I sat there and watched.
After a fairly tense and creepy opening sequence, we meet our young heroin and throughout the first hour, we get the basic jist of the plot. However, if you've seen the trailer, then you already know the plot, thus you know everything else that's about to happen. (It is PG-13 after all).
But I should give it more credit than that. With a fairly descent outline, the potential for a great horror film is there. I never really felt a connection with any of the characters, nor felt the satanic presence in our heroin as well. I just saw a teenage girl acting like a teenage girl, and a ghost or something that may not even be there. A few notable scenes do occur however, particularly with the mother, who delivers the creepiest performance of the whole film and gives us our most chilling moments.
Outside of this however, not a whole lot to be impressed about. A very predictable ending, which you can probly figure out if you saw the trailer, watered-down or "diet horror" as I call it, dumbed down for the teenage kids in the crowd who are probly making out, acting up, or talking on their cell phones the whole time anyway. I was left wanting a whole lot more from what could have, potentially been a fairly descent and scary film.
