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 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 Samuel J. A decent horror flick about escaping a hellish haunted house. Some of the elements are effective - the villains, some of the kills, the setting and the atmosphere. Some other elements are rehashed - young adults going somewhere they shouldn’t, shallow/under-developed characters, dumb decisions that push the plot - that make the movie pretty predictable. And finally some elements not good - one character is teased for adding another level of conflict in the story only to never deliver anything substantive; some kills are unsatisfying and lame (one is an offscreen kill - seriously?); the story/plot is too simple without being good enough to make it a GREAT watch; and the editing will be doing pretty good, but then go back and forth between two situations that does nothing but create confusion. There is a solid horror movie in here somewhere, and the movie is mostly able to show it, albeit while also showing its missed opportunities. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Aidan F. It’s an ok halloween themed movie. Little no no jump scares, not very scary. Cheesy acting and storyline with a lot of dumb character decisions. Not a big fan of movies like these, surprised it has as high of a rating as it does. Probably won’t watch it again but I can understand wanting to watch it during the Fall months. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Lorenzo M The movie is great but it's not that scary, anyone who likes horror that isn't that scary can watch it, there is blood but I think it's very good, this movie deserves more recognition. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
