Trivia
The earring that Lisa wears is the Ancient Egyptian cross called Ankh, aka the "cross of life" or "the key of life". The Ankh, and its symbolism, can be dated back to the Early Dynastic Period, ranging from c. 3150 - 2613 BCE. The Egyptians believed that their time here on Earth was merely just a part of a larger eternal life, as the ankh symbolizes both the afterlife and a mortal existence on earth.

Goofs
In the scrapbook called "Photographs" that Lisa discovers hidden under the floor in her bedroom, the third column about Frances Nichols in the first article repeats the same content as that in the first column. In the subsequent article about the second missing girl there are numerous repetitions in its content throughout. Later, the same story of Frances Nichols is shown typed in the article adjacent to the picture of a different missing girl.

Quotes
Carol: Lisa, you haven't even touched your meatloaf.
Lisa: Meat is murder.

A ghost story with a twist

Haunter is a ghost story with a twist. The film is based on the interesting concept of a family who lives the same day all over again. This idea is cleverly used in the first part of the movie and efficiently captivates the audience within the first few minutes, The problem is that it quickly gets repetitive. The film has a complex and interesting plot, but is too long to remain truly interesting. Despite a great try for being different from all the other ghost films, Haunter fails at his most important task, being scary. There are a few jumpy scenes, but nothing that should get you hiding under your seat.

In the end, Haunter is another ghost story...not a bad one. Those who enjoy the ghost genre should really check it out. The presence of Abigail Breslin (Zombieland, Little Miss Sunshine) is interesting, but I found the mum and the dad to be the true great actors in that film (the dad played in Saw VI and Silent Hill Revelations 3D). Considering that the director, Vincenzo Natali, is the one responsible for both Cube and Splice, two awesome horror/sci-fi flicks, I think this one is a little bit disappointing.
