"The Haunting of Molly Hartley" by Haley Bennett

The Haunting of Molly Hartley’s namesake, played by Haley Bennett, is the new girl at her prep school, but that’s the least of her problems in the film. She’s as white as ghost, hears incoherent voices whispering at her, has strange panic attacks, and she gets disgusting bloody noses. Molly’s torment could potentially be terrifying, but it is presented as overly-stylized and somewhat derivative. The film’s concept definitely merits some interest. However, its execution often doesn’t deliver on the prime idea’s promises.

Molly has just moved to a new town, having departed Boston with her father due to a recent tragedy that occurred. Molly’s mother attempted to kill her, stabbing her in the chest with a pair of household scissors. So, Molly, a 4.0 student, starts off at her new prep school with a hefty amount of emotional baggage. Things begin going awry once Molly gets settled, with said panic attacks and visions of her mother coming to kill her penetrating her consciousness. Bennett
