Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Though [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.

A lovely homage to haunted house cinema -- and a very crafty ghost story in its own right.

Haunter is a tame let down considering it comes from Natali, an exciting genre director that's usually a master of intriguing and offbeat films.

Haunter is a flawed film with enough heart and ambition to earn some admiration for its efforts.

A dull, confusing movie for which nobody bothered to provide a script.

Observer
Showcases a great deal of devil in its detail, with a tight-knit, metaphysical framework that may require multiple viewings.

Exquisite Terror
Rating: 3/5 --
It's hard to dislike a film that has so much fun with the idea that for isolated teens, every day is like Sunday.

Product Description:
A teenage ghost teams up with a living girl to stop a phantom killer, and break a vicious supernatural cycle in this psychological horror tale from director Vincenzo Natali (CUBE, SPLICE). Lisa Johnson (Abigail Breslin) was just one day shy of 16 when her entire family perished back in 1986. Ever since, the spirits of the young girl and her family have been trapped reliving the monotonous routine of their last day alive. Meanwhile, in the present day, young Olivia (Eleanor Zichy) moves into the Johnson's old house with her family, and bears witness to a disturbing transformation; her typically loving father is acting like a man possessed, prompting the startled teen to fear for her family's safety. Later, after failing to break through to her own family, Lisa manages to communicate with Olivia, and makes a shocking discovery: The house was once owned by a notorious serial killer who preyed on young girls (Stephen McHattie). Although dead, the madman has summoned the power to possess the living, and now dwells in the body of Olivia's father. Now, should the two girls fail to manage to stop the killer soon, the worst may be yet to come.
