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.

Mind-bending, thought provoking, the terror and haunting here comes from within the mind -- and that's always the best kind of terror. It's palpable, tangible, resonating. Hainter will haunt you long after the credits roll.

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.

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

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

It's hard to dislike a film that has so much fun with the idea that for isolated teens, every day is like Sunday.

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

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 tightly wound slow-burn ghost story that blends the best elements of the genre... could have certainly held its own in theaters with a little positive word of mouth.

Without distraction, attention can drift to the poor, cheesy lo-fi effects, which look as shifty as they did in Natali's 'Cypher,' but without the relentlessly nutty plot twists that jerk us merrily around.

Haunter isn't an extraordinary ghost tale, but it's got a nice lyrical blend of fear, gloom, and unsettling evil moments...

"Haunter" offers a freaky, visceral experience - without a hint of gore.

Never completely loses the viewer's interest, but the edgy, enigmatic would-be momentum goes slack in the second half as the slim plot extends to 97 minutes when 80 would have made for a tauter experience.
