There have been multiple films in this genre, and as each year passes, they seem to get more and more lame, I didn't expect much.

What a surprise Haunt was, genuinely unnerving in parts, lots.of scares, plenty of surprises. Best part for me has to be where there is a realisation by the group of thrill seekers what exactly is going on in that house.

I really liked the start, it gives you a flavour of the tone, I thought the ending could have perhaps been a little better.

Overall, way better than it should have been. 7/10.

Thematically similar to last year's Hell Fest, Haunt deals with similar territory, but it's different enough to not feel like you'd be wasting your time if you'd already seen the other film.

A battered young woman escapes from a Halloween evening with her abusive boyfriend and goes to hang out with her fun loving friends. They pick up some guys and drive around, wondering what to do next. They encounter a quaint haunted house attraction deep in the woods and decide that this should be how they spend their Halloween night. Since this this is a horror film, you can already guess that the performers inside might have more sinister and deadly motives than just supplying a good scare or two.

Haunt is a fairly simplistic movie, but the performances are mostly above average for a film of this sort and it's refreshing to see horror film characters do the right thing on multiple occasions. I can't say it's a tremendous, original take on the slasher genre, but it gets the job done and supplies a few jolts here and there.

The effects work is great and, when the villains' masks come off, it's a pretty horrifying sight. I do wish that, perhaps, there was a bit more backstory about this haunted house and the performers who inhabit it. How long has this been up? Have they done this in other locations? The logistics were hurting my head a bit, but thankfully, the movie moves so quick that you don't have a lot of time to think about such things as you're watching it.

I feel like a 6 is fair for this one. Don't get the 10 and 1 star reviews.

This movie is not deep and doesn't invest you in a backstory for the villains. I would like to know more about them.

Of course some parts seemed illogical i.e. why is this group of kids (or rather a couple of them) better equipped to fight than a bunch of bad guys who set up this intricate house full of traps and mazes. The bad guys truly sucked at fighting.

If I think too deeply about it, I could see why it gets a lower rating from many but I know better than to take a serial killer haunted house themed movie too seriously.

I jumped once towards the end and was in suspense the rest of the time. So all in all, worth a watch, especially alone at night.

What a pretty mask...

There are some fun ideas that they don't milk to heavy which allows them to stay fresh and can be expanded on if sequels happen. The film hosts some familiar elements to other horror movies so most will be comfortable in this title.

A main issue I have is that our main cast seemingly isn't into Halloween at all with a few of them even claiming to have forgotten the holiday was coming somehow. Which confuses me as to why they would search for an "extreme" haunt.

But their lack of Halloween gloom is made up for by our main Villains. For those who love Halloween; the Villains really make this movie a real treat!

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I am not normally a fan of the torture/slasher genre, more of a supernatural horror fan. But I really enjoyed this movie. Yes there is nothing to much new here, but let's be honest, those truly original stories are few and far between. The acting was great, the set up was good, and the various traps and puzzles were fun. The film doesn't try to explain itself, just a mental scary haunted house. But the suspense is maintained through out, and I particularly liked the ending, which was a change from the usual return of the psycho shock.

Well, it's not the perfect first-date movie, as it may happen that your beloved would hold you in her arms when you are sucking your thumb crying. :-) Well, I gave 7* because I think, the actual rating of 6.3 is too low, but I also fell 7* is a bit of exaggeration. What I was missing: more understanding of the story, less dumbdumb villains, less plotholes. But who knows, you'll see a sequel or a prequel and you will have the chance to learn more about the Devil, the Witch, the Clown, the Ghost and the Zombie. :-) For a horror movie, this is quite decent, refreshing, well-done!

Fun Halloween haunted house film but the story was has recycled over and over again and this version brought nothing new to the table.

Horror low budget films are often so bad. This one is the exception. Don't expect to be the greatest movie of the year and you will have such a great time. I would describe it as a very entertaining and tense horror movie. Funny and easy to watch. Great performances and great direction (especially to build the tension).

The Writers of "A Quiet Place", producer Eli Roth, halloween themes, a haunted house - sounds like a decent recipe for a fun horror flick, which it was. Even though I liked it, I wouldn't trust those who say that it's fresh, inovative or is the best haunted house film.

"Haunt" offers us an old concept with minor changes - addition of some cool elements which I won't discuss. A bunch of teens, with a (one way or another) troubled girl as the main character wind up in a hanted house attraction in the middle of nowhere. It's heard of, innit? This is where the better part of the movie starts, directors Beck and Woods manage to entertain us without cheese or unnecessary humor, instead giving us atmospheric enough trip through a what feels like an improvised but effective haunted house. Cool masks, many killers, fun times. With time it gets more gruesome, but also starts to suffer slightly from pacing issues & the characters start doing (or not doing) questionable things/choices/actions. Let's just say that a some amount of general horror movie dumbness can be found in here as well. I found the ending to be a bit underwhelming, it felt like something either more original or more crazy could've been done there. From an aesthethic standpoint, "Haunt" is just fine, not a Hollywood production, but not sloppy either & the gore is great.

After the first 50 minutes or so I was sure it's gonna be a 7/10, I can always appreciate and get a kick out of halloween-themed horror movies, but, sadly, "Haunt" ended not as a great movie, but as a good (or decent) one. A solid, relax-your-brains entertainment which You might visit another year around the time of Halloween season. My rating: 6/10.

Honestly don't understand what's up with all the great reviews. Are they paid?

I got bored halfway through. The characters were nothing special. Clischeic situations galore. You knew what was going to happen around every corner.

There is one reveal that I liked, but that was it.

I would say all in all 3,6- not great, not terrible.

I recently rented Haunt (2019) off Amazon Prime for $3.99 after months of feeling ashamed I had not seen it yet. The storyline is around a group of friends looking for a haunted house adventure and they find one. Once the haunted house activities begin they quickly realize everything around them is realer than it appears. This movie is directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who also collaborated on Impulse, Spread and Nightlife. This movie stars Katie Stevens (Polaroid), Will Britain (Kong: Skull Island), Lauryn Alisa McClain (Superstition) and Andrew Lewis Caldwell (iZombie). The storyline itself is very straightforward but the protagonists are very unique and well presented. The kill scenes are excellent, well executed, quick and sudden without relying on too much CGI. This film actually reminded me of a better version of The Houses October Built 2. Overall this was a great modern slasher flick that is a must see for horror film fans. I'd score it a 8/10.

Eli Roth movie so cookie cutter characters and a lot of gore.

No character backstory besides basically men are bad they beat their girlfriends and wifes.

The haunted house is pretty cool and the face prostethics of the bad guys are well made and some of the kills are well executed but it's your average slasher flick nothing too crazy.

Maybe a watch on halloween if you have nothing better to do. Definately not a 10/10 i think a 5/10 is a fair score.

Lovely! What a great little movie. Not too much gore but enough for you imagine the sensation. Kept me on my toes, I didn't know who was safe. Very well done, GIVE IT A GO!

The haunted house is the star of the movie, the characters are too one dimensional to really care for and the villains also doesn't have anything about them to really stand out beyond the cool masks. I'd recommend watching once but I doubt it will be a movie worth owning

Even though I knew this was by Eli Roth, who has yet to be involved with a film (horror or otherwise) that I find entertaining, I still got fooled by all the positive reviews. Let me set you straight, this is a typical college kid slasher movie. Nothing new, nothing inventive, no clever writing, everything is rehashed from every cheap haunted house/slasher movie that preceded it. I found myself bored to death and unable to connect with any of the characters or the movie itself. In fact, I would have felt less cheated if they ended the movie at the 30 minute mark by simply throwing all these kids into a giant blender and killed them off at once. BTW, the backstory the girl added absolutely nothing to this movie. I find it hard to believe that the positive reviewers are all connected with the movie, but I cannot think of any other explanation. "The best horror movie of 2019" - really? "Every time they did something that made me say 'wow' they did something else to top it" - NOT even close. This movie was boring, predictable, and slow!!!

To be totally truthful, it should rate about two or three stars, but since it was obviously so heavily biased by what I see at false positive reviews, I'm giving it one star. If you spend $5.99 to rent this thing, then you will feel cheated. Do yourself a favor and wait until it is free on Netflix and you have 90-minutes to kill sometime.

I don't really understand why theres dislike for this movie. Was it a perfect movie? Absolutley not. Was it average? For a horror flick it was above average. Yes parts are a little far fetched and down right ridiculous. However at the end of the day it was simply an enjoyable horror flick. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's not supposed to be Shakespeare folks. Enjoy the ride and stop being so cynical and over analytical. You'll enjoy more movies that way!

Poor script, Unreasonable story, Poor acting, Things without reason, Additional characters, Without any excitement....

The whole movie was: Take some of "SAW", Mix with some of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Add a little "The Hills Have Eyes". Well, our tangled movie is ready !!
