It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Worst movie i have ever seen. Only finished watching it to see if it would ever redeem itself. Sadly, the movie never improved. I never write reviews but was so annoyed this movie actually made it this far that i was compelled to do everything i can to help others avoid wasting their time and money on this movie. The best part of this movie is the DVD art on the case. As for the worst part, i cannot narrow that down so i will list them and why i feel that way: Audio quality is intentionally poor, doesn't create any effect other than raising the volume. Dialogue is non existent. I could have written this script in minutes and it would have been less clichéd. Acting is atrocious. Not just the lead actress but everyone. Finally the camera shots and angles and focus are just annoying. It just seems like the kind of movie wanna be indie rock kids say no one else gets cause its sooooo good,then they grow up and realize it sucks when they have kids of their own and their kids make an equally excruciating film in their intro to cinematography class for university of phoenix online. Sorry for the rant, just trust me this movie isn't so bad it comical like sharknado. Its so bad u write ur first review ever just so no one else has to experience cliché after cliché and stereotypical independent film must haves. Anyone that writes a good review is lying or takes offense because they are an equally untalented artist or are friends with someone involved with this travesty.

Brandon Slagle is an excellent director/actor. With the Black Dahlia Haunting, he shows the essence of Elisabeth Short through Alexis Iacono's act. The main actress Devanny Pinn was perfect. I was happy to see Britt Griffith (Ghost Hunters) in another kind of role. It was new for me. Adrian Marcato really did an excellent job on the makeup for Alexis Iacono's face. It was nice to see some flashback of Elisabeth Short with Marilyn Monroe. Noah Dahl worked really hard for his character. it must be very difficult to play a blind teenager. The music and the sets were interesting. In overall, the Black Dahlia Haunting was incredible. I would like everybody to watch it.

I saw the The Black Dahlia Haunting on both days of the LoneStar ComicCon in Schertz,Texas. It was so intriguing that I attended both screenings. The director was effective at setting an atmosphere that was cohesive with the overall theme of the movie. He did a good job portraying the spirits to be haunting the people rather than haunting the buildings. Unlike most modern horror movies, this one employs a tasteful use of gore and smooth transitions, instead of the usual jump-cut scare tactics.Devanny Pinn, a relative newcomer, did well playing a character and the spirit conversing with the spirit possessing her, no easy task. Most fascinating, however, were Alexis Iacono and Cleave A. Hall. Their scenes together were the most intense of the movie. The chemistry between them was riveting.Overall, The Black Dahlia haunting is an enjoyable movie. Watching it two days in a row proved it to have high replay value. This film is quite impressive especially considering the filmmaker's limited budget and shooting schedule.

I had a chance to see the film last weekend in Sacramento, they screened it for fans at Days of Terror. I love a good unsolved mystery so I am familiar with the Black Dahlia case from previous books and movies. This take is a refreshing change on the usual, the addition of the supernatural spins this from a crime drama into a horror film perfectly and I was riveted to my seat the whole time. They did go graphic in some scenes, this is not for the squeamish, but it all fits in with the story and really gives a strong fictional alternative to the other stories I have read/seen about the case. Certainly this beats out many 'based on a true story' films that barely give passing glances at the real life material, here they have managed to blend it in well so that with just a bit of suspension of disbelief you can see this as a possible explanation. Very well done and a great film for horror fans looking for something new again!
