Save your money and just get your dose of Chace Crawford on The CW Monday nights.
When Molly Hartley moves to a new town with her father, all she wants to do is get by and forget about her horrendous past. She later finds out her past is the least of her worries, with a future like hers.
"The Haunting of Molly Hartley" is just your average teen horror movie. With a little blood, plenty of death, the mean girl, the sweet girl and the popular Abercrombie-Model-Look-A-Like/lacrosse-Captain, the audience will feel as if they've seen this movie a thousand times. Though the acting was decent, the storyline was about as original as "girl turns 18 and has her soul stolen by the devil" can get.
The movie begins with the death of some girl who means nothing to the actual story. There are many dream sequences from Molly's point of view, all of which feature her mother who is now in the crazy bin. It's just Molly and her father, and he enrolls her into prep school that includes the cliché characters you usually see in movie prep schools. Each affects Molly's life in some way or another. Many people die in awful death scenes (and not awful in the good way.) Also, shocking discoveries that get figured out 10 minutes before they actually happen, because the same thing happened in another movie.
The cast wasn't too horrible, but it was probably the only reason it calculated a gross of about 53% on opening weekend, according to BoxOffice.com. Gorgeous "Gossip Girl" star, Chace Crawford, plays the popular boy, Joseph Young, and the new "90210"'s feisty AnnaLynne McCord plays Suzie, the mean girl. Haley Bennett ("Music and Lyrics") starred as Molly Hartley and switched up the scenery a bit by giving a pretty flawless performance.
Don't feel too offended by the cookie-cutter form of this movie, though. It will keep you on the edge of your seat in parts, and the end will leave you shocked, ticked, or just plain confused.
