THE HAUNTING OF MOLLY HARTLEY (2008) * Haley Bennett, Jake Weber, Chace Crawford, Shannon Marie Woodward, Shanna Collins, AnnaLynne McCord, Marin Hinkle, Nina Siemaszko. Laughable occult thriller with echoes of "Carrie" and "The Omen" about a teen girl (Bennett) who begins to realize she may be a satanic presence as she attempts to fit in her new high school. The young cast is pretty lame overall despite a relatively plucky Bennett as the titular character. Large gaping holes in the story are only the least of this film's troubles (the opening teaser for example is never explained and the 'boo' factor of having birds suddenly thrust into view is cheap) ; the other being largely not scary in the least!
