Movie Review - Haunter


S+-+haunter.jpg

A teen and her family are tapped living the same day over and over, like a supernatural Groundhog Day.

Abigail Breslin stars as the teen trying to find out why she and her family are trapped. They aren’t the only things trapped in the house and she begins to unravel a mystery that encompasses the past, present, and future.
There are some genuinely creepy moments as the film starts layering on clues. Breslin carries the movie and does a fine job with her role.
There are a few clichés, and the ending could have been more, but overall it was an effect story. I appreciate that the crew really tried to make a good movie. That effort shows.
If you enjoy intimate supernatural thrillers, this is worth a rental.
