The Haunting of Molly Hartley isn't the least bit haunting. It's just cheap.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
God and Satan duke it out for the soul of a young girl in The Haunting of Molly Hartley, an unexpectedly cynical addition to the teen-scream genre.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
It's a horror film better suited for skittish cats than humans.
Keith Phipps, AV Club
Rotten
It would take hallucinations of a powerful kind indeed to find anything worthwhile in The Haunting of Molly Hartley, a dead-on-arrival thriller that resolutely fails to come to life.
Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times
