Haunt (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Haunt (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Haunt (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com The tension here is pretty damn strong. Rated: B+ Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Haunt (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Haunt (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Haunt (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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 5/5 Stars • 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 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/19 Full Review John C I watch so many B-movie horror flicks on streaming services that, sometimes, if I leave writing a review more than a few days after watching the film, I've completely forgotten everything about it! 'Haunt' may not be perfect, but it is solid enough to actually remain in my mind after a week or so in order to comment on it.It's made by the writers/directors behind (the far superior!) 'A Quiet Place' and although it sure doesn't reinvent the wheel, it may just stay with you after the credits roll, thanks to a few atmosphere and brutal moments of tension and gore. The story centers on a group of friends who visit an extreme haunted house on Halloween night, only to discover that the attraction is more sinister than they could have imagined. What follows is your typical 'slasher' movie as the friends are subjected to cruel traps and masked killers lurking in the shadows. Where 'Haunt' does make its mark is in its pacing and its gnarly, practical effects and the masked killers—each with their own disturbing personas—are suitably creepy. Plus the kills are satisfyingly gruesome for fans of blood-soaked horror. However, the film falls into the genre trope of its characters making frustratingly dumb decisions. It's hard not to roll your eyes at some of the choices made, as they often serve the plot more than common sense. This, in turn, makes it difficult to fully invest in their survival. And yet, despite these flaws, 'Haunt' was a film that I actually watched until the credits rolled as it offered enough thrills, chills and gory fun to make it worth a watch—just be prepared for some moments of head-shaking frustration along the way. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Russell H Very tense and creepy. Good compared all the recommended crap on prime. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyed this! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Andrew W I watched it thinking it’d be good/bad, but it’s good/very good Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
