Critics Consensus

Haunter's premise is intriguing enough, though the film's too low budget to truly pull it off.

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.

3/5

A good performance from Breslin keeps tension alive, but hope for a really scary and inventive fright dies screaming in the basement.

2/4

Inspiration seems to come from Groundhog Day, Beetlejuice and even The Shining.

1/5

A film involving ghosts that makes the bold decision to never be creepy, or ever be interesting, no matter what the talents might have been of the cast and crew.

Where Groundhog Day used it’s same-day-repeats well, this film seems to drag on the actual resolution.

1/4

Never challenging or innovative, and consistent only in its fuzzy supernatural logic, the film is an empty exercise in atmosphere.

I'm not sure why, but I can just keep watching this over and over. I feel as if it will never change! It sure is on the slow side, but all the actors do a fantastic job to create a wonderful film.

I'm still confused about the ending.

This was ok, which is better than I expected considering how it started. It quickly became watchable. Not very suspenseful or intriguing, but... watchable. The acting started off crappy but improved as the movie went on (or may be my expectations were subconsciously lowered). It has a decent plot thats executed fairly. Its not scary at all.

Even though it lacks enough scares for a horror film and is a bit more predictable than it has any right to be, this is an efficient new spin on the haunted house movie with a mystery that can be quite compelling when you have no idea what it actually is about.

Intriguing premise, though the execution is a bit lacking.
