The Haunting of Sharon Tate

“Witness the Shocking Events through the eyes of Hollywood's Brightest Star”

Filmology Rating: 1 out of 4

The Haunting of Sharon Tate is based on on the true events of Sharon Tate's murder. She was an actress who was murdered in 1969 by the Manson Cult. This film and its writer/director, seeks to exploit that tragedy by putting a philosophical twist to it and slapping, "The Haunting of..." on the front to sell tickets. The paper-thin plot is about Sharon Tate (Hilary Duff) who is staying in a house with several others. The Manson Cult wants to kill her.

"The Haunting of Sharon Tate" is a new low for horror movies.

There is not a single redeeming aspect of the film. The filmmaker is well known for making films that exploit tragedies such as the 'Amnityville Horror' films. But this is obviously a film that was meant to pump out as quickly as possible.

The acting is absolutely horrendous. The lead is Hilary Duff who, from her opening scene, is just so bad. She's attempting to do a southern belle accent mixed with something else. It's just terrible. It's really not her fault. The script, if there was one, features the most laughable dialogue in recent years. Characters often talk about their place in the universe or talk about fate. It's the epitome of pretentious dialogue.

This film barely reaches feature length. It's obvious that the filmmaker just wrote 'walk around' in the script and moved on because Hilary Duff does nothing but walk around and sleep in this film.

There is not one, but two dream sequences in the film; possibly the dumbest cliche in film today other than fading to black and hearing a gunshot. And the ending is just so perfect that it's possibly the dumbest thing ever. I loved it.

This may be a good film for aspiring artists to watch just so that you learn what not to do. It was shocking how terrible this was. It's like discovering an extinct animal is still alive.

This is the worst of the worst when it comes to horror. "Open House", on Netflix, was one of the worst horror films last year, but this is so much worse.
