This is a Canadian film directed by Vincenzo Natali. HAUNTER is a supernatural chiller that provides a thrilling shiver or two. The ghost of a teenage girl, Lisa(Abigail Breslin),wakes up to realize that she is ...dead. Lisa is stuck in some kind of time warp that has her reliving the same day she and her family were murdered. Her parents and little brother go about a repetitive life not knowing they too are dead. Lisa will find personal items that belong to other people killed in the house. Things get real creepy, when Lisa goes through an "awakening" that has her meeting the evil spirit responsible for years of killing trying to keep possession of the house.
Not a lot of elaborate special effects; but I really like the sequences of the house sitting in the woods surrounded by thick fog. Be forewarned of a couple of scenes where you feel you've jumped out of your own skin. HAUNTER was written by Brian King and filmed in Toronto. Miss Breslin is excellent in this role. Maybe I just like the fact she is not a little girl anymore. Rounding out the cast: Peter Outerbridge, Michelle Nolden, Peter DaCunha, Eleanor Zichy and Stephen McHattie brings out the heebie jeebies.
