Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Haunt ends up being a well-plotted, suitably sinister little shocker that proves to pack an agreeably malevolent little punch. Rated: 3/4 Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Influences of The Funhouse, The Strangers, and even Saw are all woven throughout, but without the innovation or imaginative set pieces that made those movies memorable. Despite what the premise suggests, there's nothing "extreme" about this haunt. Rated: 2/5 Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com The tension here is pretty damn strong. Rated: B+ Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting The third act comes across as a touch too rushed and cleanly wrapped up, but to those people who hope to escape their own haunted houses, it’s surely the type of ending they can take delight in. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Although I've seen plenty of horror movies with similar plotting and more compelling characters, few slashers have disturbed me, and continue to disturb me, as much as Haunt. Rated: 3/4 Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Eve Tushnet Patheos There are basically three story elements here and they never join forces...[which] makes the whole movie feel kinda pointless.

Audience Member The kind of classic slasher movie you would expect from decades ago, but with enough modern flair. This is a definite watch, especially during the halloween season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Mellanie U Teeth clenching, edge of your seat type of movie!! If you like thrill, suspense and just pure whole body tensing scares, this movie is for you. Great story and character development, non clich moments. This will definitely be turning into a must see during Halloween season movie. GO SEE IT!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/19 Full Review Evan R This is one of the best horror movies ive seen so far,this movie has great plotting and acting.your always thinking "Whats going to happen next".overall this is a must watch movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review Titus A Came for Halloween but stayed for Will Brittain's nipples. And all the rest. The man is a beauty. Any-hoo. The movie was so/so. But seemed to squander the majority of its potential. Some super dumb character moves and weak plotting made it questionable at best. Honestly, might have had something here if the writer and director actually knew what they were doing. All the actors were good and characters were the best written parts of the whole thing. The concept was also good but really faltered in its delivery. And again, a lot of wasted potential throughout. I'm fine with not so great set design if the story delivers. But it just couldn't escape the basic elements of the genre. Again, I really only watched the whole movie because they didn't kill the hot guy (Will Brittain) right away, like they often do in most horror movies. Will Brittain needs to be given more big name movie roles. He's a good actor and very nice to look at. The truth is, a hot actor will keep most of us watching even when the story is so/so. Will just needs some good films with good writers and good directors and all Will be well. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Roven N As someone who prefers psychological and supernatural horror, Haunt was outside my usual taste, but it exceeded expectations. Set on Halloween night, the film follows a group of friends who enter an “extreme haunted house” that quickly turns deadly. The masked killers were unsettling, the funhouse setting added constant tension, and the movie avoided relying on cheap jump scares. For a low-budget horror film, Haunt delivers sharp atmosphere, creative kills, and a fresh twist on the slasher genre. While it’s not paranormal or found footage, it’s a standout survival horror worth checking out. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review Matt Y. It’s a great take on the old standard “killers in a haunted house”. Lots of fresh ideas that keep it interesting throughout. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
