Critics Consensus

The Haunting of Sharon Tate dishonors the events it seeks to dramatize with a poorly acted and offensively exploitative take on real-life tragedy.

Don't just look at real-life tragedies and try to exploit them...the ending is just so atrocious.

[A] run-of-the-mill home invasion thriller, and while Farrands is a solid genre craftsman - as evidenced by his similarly creepy true-crime film from earlier this year, "The Amityville Murders" - his taste remains suspect.

Ultimately doesn't work as either as a home invasion movie, or as a documentary. What it really feels like is true-crime fanfiction with a lofty but misguided concept.

It's a shame spiral all the way to the bottom of the barrel. You can make your own helter skelter jokes.

This movie is so disrespectful and shameful with repulsive pornographic violence and distasteful writing and directing and really bad editing.

Sometimes you don't crave a Sacher Torte; you want a Twinkie or one of those pink snowballs you find only in convenience stores. Sure, this movie has all the old formula chestnuts - - the tormented mother protecting her child, the Uber-skeptical husband - - but you have to love the retro nostalgia (shades of Poltergeist) and I'm pretty sure I want that late 1980s hairstyle sported by Sharon Lawrence at the movie's start. Sometimes, against all odds in the favor of pretension, only a Twinkie can satisfy.

Don't believe all the critics shaming the movie. It is smart and disturbing and really scary. Worth watching for sure.

The credits song actually being Mansons is highly offensive and should be removed. Besides that, the movie is meh. The camera work and the production design was better than the rest.

I cant recall seeing something exploiting real murder story as bad as this movie did. Main idea of Sharon Tate being haunted with vision of her brutal death doesn't stick well. I couldn't force my self to see grand finale . It was awful and boring

If a film wants to dramatize a real-life event, let alone an impactful tragedy, then fictionalizing it has to be careful without offending the real-life victims. This film went with the alternate spin of predicting the real-life horror through formulaically associated premonitions that only overkilled into a slasher flick and brought the victims into paranoia hysterics but accurately made the animalistic culprits downright sickly chilling, through indecisive cinematography with numbed process.
