Critics Consensus

Horror fans seeking effective frights will almost certainly feel Abandoned by this well-cast but deeply disappointing haunted house story.

This movie is the worst movie i've ever sat through. I tried to give it a chance, hoping there would be a crazy plot twist at the end or at least figure out what was going on. But no. This entire movie made ZERO sense. (Spoilers ahead, not that you want to watch this garbage anyways)- I'm still confused as if the kids in the attic were real or ghosts? And why did they want her baby? Nothing made sense. And the ending was just the worst of all. Let's not forget your gonna wanna watch this on a super low volume since there is a crying baby every other 2 minutes. Very annoying. Sad to see Emma Roberts waste her talent on a film like this.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Super bland and poorly structured, Abandoned does have some few sprints of suspense to start with but the film's half-baked script, lifeless characters and lackluster level of tension makes the title awfully warranted.

Absolute Zeitverschwendung. Nur für Eltern ist dieser Film ein Horror auf Grund der vielen Fehler. Total scheisse!

Michael Shannon committed to his emotional role amidst the generic and convoluting deficient haunting that stuck to the imprinted tropes with rare to zero effect underlining pointlessness. (C+)

There’s just no meat on this film’s bones. Gallagher gets a non-character and Roberts is left hanging by being forced to play post-partum as a horror trope.

Rated: 1.5/4

A listless thriller that can’t find its footing.

Culture Mix

Abandoned is how to describe any hope that viewers might have that this dull and idiotic horror flick will be scary or interesting. It's the type of derivative haunted house movie that's just recycled trash.

Dread Central

Emma Roberts shines in Abandoned, a haunted house movie that, like the titular abode, soon shows its age. Been there, haunted that.

Rated: 2/5

Film Inquiry

As Abandoned closes, as a viewer, I felt that the character of Sarah was completely abandoned by both writer and director.

One Guy's Opinion

A haunted house movie should be genuinely unnerving; this one is simply incoherent and dull.
