The Black Dahlia Haunting

I was lost in the beginning. It was too slow getting to the main part of the story. Amazing lead actress. Not a lot of gore so for those of you that have a sensitive stomach you'll make it through to the end. A lot of dark scenes in this story. But a good ghost story shouldn't be all rainbows and unicorns. I never did see The Black Dahlia movie so I can't really compare or understand completely the plot. All I know is be afraid of ghosts because they will find a way to hurt you. Devanny made a great man-hating bitch. The ending was a bit predictable. Didn't keep me guessing. I'd consider this mild violence, although it did allow the audience to use their imagination on exactly what was being done. No overkill on the blood whatsoever. Horror isn't always just blood baths and body parts.

Relatives from the Black Dahlia case become possessed by their ghosts to re-enact deadly events.

A girl seeking her estranged blind brother after her father dies, leads her to a psychopathic psychiatrist in Los Angeles. Complements on the thorny vines tattoos armwraps. Marilyn Monroe to-be Norma Jean features herein as Elizabeth Short's friend.

Of note, the majority of the film takes place in and around the dreaded Cecil Hotel where she frequented, with a scene at the actual murder spot on S. Norton Ave. Between W. 39th & Coliseum Streets in Leimert Park.

The original perpetrator is played by Monster Man horror prop master Cleve Hall, making a great villain. Overall, pretty good psychological horror. In the end, justice is indeed blind.

This movie just did zero for my taste. I love mysteries having to do with true crimes. And as another bonus, it happened in the 1940's, and it went unsolved. The film could not get my interest. It was nasty acting, low budget, poor sound, corny script. Sorry, not worth my time.

Worst movie i have ever seen. Only finished watching it to see if it would ever redeem itself. Sadly, the movie never improved. I never write reviews but was so annoyed this movie actually made it this far that i was compelled to do everything i can to help others avoid wasting their time and money on this movie. The best part of this movie is the DVD art on the case. As for the worst part, i cannot narrow that down so i will list them and why i feel that way: Audio quality is intentionally poor, doesn't create any effect other than raising the volume. Dialogue is non existent. I could have written this script in minutes and it would have been less clichéd. Acting is atrocious. Not just the lead actress but everyone. Finally the camera shots and angles and focus are just annoying. It just seems like the kind of movie wanna be indie rock kids say no one else gets cause its sooooo good,then they grow up and realize it sucks when they have kids of their own and their kids make an equally excruciating film in their intro to cinematography class for university of phoenix online. Sorry for the rant, just trust me this movie isn't so bad it comical like sharknado. Its so bad u write ur first review ever just so no one else has to experience cliché after cliché and stereotypical independent film must haves. Anyone that writes a good review is lying or takes offense because they are an equally untalented artist or are friends with someone involved with this travesty.

I was able to see the preview of the Black Dalia Haunting recently and was impressed by the story line. When I first started watching, I was a bit confused by some of the characters and how they tied into the movie, but with every good horror flick, it is when it all comes together that you have your eureka moment! When I can figure out the story up until the ending from the beginning, it is predictable, but when it all just gels together suddenly...it makes the story intriguing! One scene that added a special character touch was a simple scene in the bathroom where the mirror was split and showed the person in both sides, which simply added a touch of Hitchcock, what I thought. Overall, the movie had some very creepy scenes. I enjoyed it!
