The Haunting of Molly Hartley - Crap Tuesday, December 01, 2009

For starters, let me just say that please do not make the same mistake as I did, which is watching this crap disguising itself as a movie.

I had the unfortunate opportunity to watch this movie with my husband and the kids. It tells the story of a girl whose 18th birthday is a few days away, and a lot of strange things are happening to her. Her own mother tries to kill her by stabbing a pair of scissors to her chest, and one of her classmates also tries to drown her in the church.

This movie unfortunately does not have any redeeming parts, as it was totally not scary, and the plot is pathetic. The lead actress, Haley Bennett, is really pretty but other than that, everything else sucks.

The cause of all the trouble is the fact that Molly Hartley was born dead, but a lady who appears out of nowhere gives her parents a choice. Molly then begins to cry and live. The condition is that once Molly turns 18, the lady who appeared will take her back. So there, just figure things out for yourself. She begins to be something like the female version of Damien in the Omen movies, starting on her 18th birthday.
