To me, this movie is perfection.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie was sort of like Groundhog Day meets The Sixth Sense. It wasn't as good as those movies, but it wasn't bad either. Abigail Breslin was good in her role as a teen who keeps waking up and realizing that she is repeating the same day over and over. (I actually remember some of the things in it like Murder She Wrote and Pac Man!) She is also haunted by a mysterious male figure who is very creepy. The film has a very overall creepy tone to it. She finds clues to previous victims and the man's identity and what seems to have happened to her and her family. You might like this if you like creepy movies. I didn't regret watching it and you might not either.** 1/2 out of ****

Five minutes into the movie I'm thinking: "Oh, no. Another scary movie with a petulant teenager with behavior problems though she comes from a decent family." Not too long after that she reveals that she and her family have been reliving the same day over and over yet she is the only one that realizes it, hence the attitude towards her parents. The movie got significantly better from there.Although "Haunter" stole some ideas from other movies that's not an issue because what is truly original anymore? There were a few hair raising and bogeyman moments but the movie was built upon the situation Lisa (Abigail Breslin) and her family were in and how they could get out of it.Abigail was the star of the movie and she held her own. As for the story, it was decent and there weren't any SMH moments from anyone doing cliché scary movie stunts.

I found this movie from a list of 18 000 other horrors just looking for something to watch. I had never heard of it before and to my surprise I found something that touched me deeply.This isn't your run of the mill ghost movie. I find that this here is something really special. I wouldn't even call it a horror. The script and writing is just incredible in my opinion. A really original take on the family moves into house and father is possessed and kills family theme. Still the movie is not a horror. I didn't feel scared at all but what I did feel sad at times and ponderous as to what was even happening in the movie.The acting is good. I really cared about the characters and prayed that they will make it. And I swear I was almost in tears at the end. Even though it wasn't really that emotional.The movie kept me intrigued until the very end. I honestly don't have anything negative to say about the movie except i would've liked to see a final interaction between Lisa and Olivia. 10/10 for me.

In 1985, on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Lisa (Abigail Breslin) discovers that she is stuck in time, living the same day over and over with her parents Bruce (Peter Outerbridge) and Carol (Michelle Nolden) and her little brother Robbie (Peter DaCunha). Soon she learns that they are dead and trapped on the day that they were murdered but she finds that she can contact other people. Out of the blue, a stranger (Stephen McHattie) comes to her house telling that he is going to fix the telephone line but indeed to threaten her to stop the contacts. Lisa finds that she is contacting victims of the killer in different timelines including the future, and the killer's name is Oscar. Will be possible to Lisa to stop the evil Oscar?"Haunter" is an intriguing ghost story with a promising idea of an evil spirit, but with a deceptive conclusion. The story is a combination of "The Others" with "Groundhog Day" and "The Twilight Zone", with good performance of Abigail Breslin. But the corny conclusion could be better. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available
