Leave your thoughts about Haunter.
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. RansonA tightly wound slow-burn ghost story that blends the best elements of the genre... could have certainly held its own in theaters with a little positive word of mouth. |
| Grolsch Film WorksAnton Bitelthe clever ideas quickly give way to a more straightforward - and therefore less satisfying - battle between good and evil (resolved explicitly in terms of heaven and hell). |
| Los Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonHaunter offers a freaky, visceral experience — without a hint of gore. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeLess twisted than Natali's last film, Splice, it's sufficiently novel to uphold his reputation as a filmmaker not content telling conventional fanboy stories. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonIt's a puzzling, beautifully constructed reverse ghost story that shows Natali is unafraid to push the envelope regardless of the genre. |
| Film ThreatElias SavadaHaunter isn't an extraordinary ghost tale, but it's got a nice lyrical blend of fear, gloom, and unsettling evil moments... |
| Total FilmCurtis WoloschukThough [Natali's] haunted-house tale ultimately lacks the strong storytelling its high concept calls for, it still compels with its ambition, occasional eloquence, and heart-in-the-right- place vibe. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsOnce Haunter's story snaps into focus, and its creators pull you towards its inevitable conclusion, the film's flaws become that much more apparent. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonDirector Vincenzo Natali (“Splice”) is more effective at sustaining clammy suspense than hiding all the holes in Brian King’s script. But top-billed Abigail Breslin (“Little Miss Sunshine”) is effective enough to generate a rooting interest in the plucky protagonist of the piece, and to sustain interest when narrative logic turns fuzzy. |
| Film.comWilliam GossThe premise is provoking and well-conceived, confidently moving things forward until the increasingly knotty rules of the film’s universe eventually come to overbear the experience a bit in the homestretch. |
