Mini-review: Haunt (2013)

Haunt
Directed by Mac Carter



Usually when I give a low rating for a movie, it's because of all the things it does wrong -- and to an extent that's the case here. But here it's largely due to the complete lack of *right*: nothing about this movie is even remotaly original or memorable in any way. The acting is mediocre, the music is forgettable, there is no atmosphere to be heard or, the jump-scares are ineffective and this same basic story has been done to death a thousand times over. Just don't waste your time with this unless you think great horror is lack of build-up followed by things occasionally jumping out at you for about an hour and a half.

★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
