In San Diego, Sarah Landon is invited by her grandmother's friend, Thelma Shaw, to spend the weekend with her in Pine Valley, California. Sarah used to spend vacations there during her childhood with her recently-deceased friend Megan. While heading to Pine Valley, her car breaks down and Carlos, the mechanic, calls his assistant, Matt Baker, to give her a ride. Sarah knows Matt from her childhood and asks about his older brother, David. Meanwhile Carlos tells a sad story about their uncle, Ben Woods. He apparently used to brag about his only son, Johnny, considered by Ben to be the best baseball player in the Valley. On his twenty-first birthday, Ben's sister Mary Ann Baker decided to celebrate with Johnny but she had a car accident and the teenager died. Ben promised to kill David Baker on his twenty-first birthday and he dies on the day of Johnny's funeral. Over the years, Mary Ann becomes delusional and has a breakdown. During an argument between his mother and father, David overhears the quarrel and becomes a hermit obsessed in occultism. Sarah joins to Matt to try and save David's life during the the paranormal hour.

| VarietyJohn AndersonThere's something clumsily charming about Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim Lane...awkward in a high-school-drama-club way... |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoClumsy, tween-focused thriller wastes potential. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe supernatural plot elements are developed so unconvincingly that the story seems to be about people ruining their own lives by believing in stupid superstitions, so it’s a shock to realize the ghostly goings-on are meant to be taken seriously. |
| L.A. WeeklyJim RidleyIt’s as not-unpleasantly amateurish as the regional genre movies that four-walled rural theaters in the days before video. But do-nothing Sarah may be the dullest, most featureless and inactive protagonist in recent movies. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe film is sunk by a pervasive stasis, the byproduct not of mood but of the filmmakers’ amateurish abilities. If there’s one thing Nick and Disney know, it’s that youthful entertainment needs to keep moving. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrA dull little PG-rated spook story for tweener girls. |
| CinemaBlend.comMack RawdenClocking in at just over eighty minutes, Sarah Landon is a filmmaker's clinic in consistency: how to be consistently awful. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Landon won't be a household name any time soon... |
| User ReviewBreanna SOMG! okay at the part where he saw the uncle on the stairs, dead, I knew right away that the boy was Johnny. I knew that he would save them in the end-and he did! Not all the acting was great, reminded me of a soap opera kinda, but I still kinda liked it! |
