Leave your thoughts about The Haunting of Sharon Tate.
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaSome moments are a bit corny, such as subliminal messages coming from a tape played backward. However, I find the spin that writer/director Daniel Farrands puts on one of the most gruesome murders in history, will make all who see The Haunting of Sharon Tate examine the Tate murders, and maybe our own lives differently. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayA run-of-the-mill home invasion thriller, and while Farrands is a solid genre craftsman — as evidenced by his similarly creepy true-crime film from earlier this year, The Amityville Murders — his taste remains suspect. |
| Slant MagazineWes GreeneIn a film that features Charles Manson and his disciples, there’s something unsavory about presenting Sharon Tate as one of the crazy ones. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichThe Haunting of Sharon Tate resolves as a cheap revenge fantasy that suggests its subjects only died because they couldn’t see the writing on the wall. |
| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiThe Haunting of Sharon Tate is an astoundingly tasteless motion picture, perfunctorily produced and insensitively conceived...It’s far too early to call “Haunting” the worst movie of the year. But if it’s not, it’s going to be a rough 2019. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckStarring a miscast Hilary Duff in the title role, The Haunting of Sharon Tate deserves the instant obscurity for which it is certainly destined. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanThe movie’s petty folly — its failure of imagination and morality — is that it actually goes out of its way to turn the Manson murders into schlock horror. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe film is appalling from start to finish. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeThe worst part of The Haunting Of Sharon Tate is how seriously it takes its ham-fisted themes of fate and the nature of reality; the movie opens with an Edgar Allen Poe quote, for f*ck’s sake. |
| The PlaylistCharles BarfieldFarrands proves he’s no Tobe Hooper, but he might not even be Tom Six. What he ultimately crafts is a terribly foolish movie featuring wooden acting, a disgusting premise, and none of the redeeming qualities that even the most repellant exploitation schlock film might offer. Stay away at all costs. |
