Just when you thought horror films about creepy girls with black hair had gone out of vogue, along comes The Haunting of Helena. Directors Christian Bisceglia (who also wrote the screenplay) and Ascanio Malgarini (who also served as the film’s visual effects supervisor) bring their Italian sensibilities to the horror genre. Despite the European influence on the film (which is much more bearable than the gritty gore that American horror films have descended to), Haunting still feels like a horror repeat.

Chicago – Originally called “Fairytale,” “The Haunting of Helena” will be available on VOD tomorrow, June 18, 2013, before a very limited release on June 21, 2013. It’s a generic, mediocre horror flick with a few effective images and some interesting thematic play in the second act that is, sadly, totally underdeveloped. This update of the Tooth Fairy legend takes the familiar and tries to make it terrifying but horrendous dialogue (someone actually says without a hint of irony, “You must leave this house before it’s too late”) and weak performances will aggravate even the most forgiving horror fans.
Rating: 2.0/5.0
