"Haunter" isn't scary. It's not gory. It's not disturbing (even though the murders ought to be). It isn't even suspenseful. And even the jump scares aren't...well...jumpy. What it has is some nice visuals, some atmosphere, and a good performance by Abigail Breslin. It was a decent choice out of Netflix's far too meager selection of newer movies. I was a bit upset that I spent 90 minutes mostly enjoying what ended up being a Horror movie quite possibly made to satiate the "Twilight" crowd.

One of the most unique movies that I have seen! Actually quite enjoyed it!

The movie has some really intense and chilling moments, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of horror movies that keep you on the edge of your seat, then "Haunter" might be right up your alley. It's got a great cast and a really eerie atmosphere that will give you some serious goosebumps. So, if you're in the mood for a good scare, give it a watch!

An intriguing and novel setup for a ghost story is ultimately squandered on an underdeveloped story and internal world mechanics, which isn't helped by some occasionally patchy acting. It's also not especially scary, which for a horror movie is a bit of a problem!
