About this movie

A sinister tale of unnerving horror from Vincenzo Natali (Splice, Cube), HAUNTER stars Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, Zombieland) as Lisa, a troubled teenager contemplating the big issues, namely life after death. Back in 1986, Lisa and her family tragically died in their home under suspicious circumstances. Unable to move on, their spirits continued to roam the house during the intervening years, a legacy of sadness haunting the premises. Now, over a period of six days, Lisa must reach out from beyond the grave to help her living counterpart Olivia (Eleanor Zichy, Skins) avoid the same fate that Lisa and her family suffered long ago. A visceral journey into the depths of the unknown, paying smart tribute to genre hits The Sixth Sense and Paranormal Activity, HAUNTER is a spine-tingling ghost story destined to linger long in your nightmares. 2013 Haunter (Copperheart) Productions Inc.

One of the more enjoyable horror movies I've watched in quite a while. Linda Barnard's review was actually very accurate and was the main reason I watched this movie as I enjoyed all the ones she suggested inspired this film. I'd also add a touch of The Lovely Bones into her mix as well. Really nice to see a horror movie that doesn't need to resort to an amount of blood that would make the Red Cross blush for cheap thrills! Abigail Breslin shines in her role too.

I was immersed in this, it's not so much a horror or scary ghost story as it is a Supernatural mystery. I can see the link between The Lovely Bones and this but I didn't like The Lovely Bones. I feel this is a much superior concept and execution of that concept.

Wasn't scary, had a weak plot, and ended with a mess that amounted to nothing - Some people's reviews indicate this movie had something more going for it, but don't be mistaken, it's not deep and/or complex in any way.
