The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Out of the gate, The Hatred sets up solid ground work. Part Apt Pupil, part The Conjuring, a decent backstory opens up the first act. As opposed to relying on flashbacks, this film plays out the horrific history of the locale and story. Post-Nazi America in a small town and the secrets that ensue.The second Act only exists to guide us into the present day. Sassy, texting, little to say to each other modern day females visiting the haunted house in question. While trying to create strong, independent women, the script merely calls out the older male sensibility of what we think young adult women talk like. Merely hamstringing our female cast to become stereotypes trying to be more than what was written for them. Which is sad, because the actresses really try to create a sense of friendship, love and trust. However, the groundwork is downtrodden and stale.The last act finally brings the scares and suspense. While unapologetically and rituallistacly off camera, killing off the cast; the final moments with our lead and the child are decently executed. The moment perpetuated in the films trailer is very effective and inventive for an otherwise stale and often imitated genre.Overall, the film had a decent cast and a solid plot. The downside was the lacking second act and lowly accommodating budget. If that third act, trailer based twist on the supernatural played throughout this film, it would've been one for the books.

I like to think of myself as liking just about any movie out there; BUT THIS MOVIE IS ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY HORRIBLE! I'm shocked we finished it. Terrible acting of the whole cast. Graphics were so clearly fake and computerized. The store left holes and unexplained topics. IT WAS JUST S**T!!! This movie isn't even worth seeing if it were free. Totally wasted $4 on trash!!!

The Hatred starts out so decently with an interesting, historical and violent set up (nazism, abuse, murder), but takes a turn for the worse once the backstory is done. I felt like I was watching an entirely different movie. A much, much worse one. We switch to present day and follow shallow, horribly written and acted college girls whom we know little about.In an attempt to make them likable, the movie spends far too long listening to them talk about nothing of importance. They have no personalities, no motives beyond: "I'm a fun college girl. I like wine and boys. I oddly have makeup on constantly and know German out of the blue to service a flimsy plot." After a brief scare in the barn and hours of talking, the movie rushes to the detective and scare portions. Despite having such an interesting set-up with a Nazi father and murdered daughter seeking freedom, none of the demons/ghosts' actions make much sense. Then it isn't even that scary? Bad makeup effects on Alice. Alice's actual corpse in the coffin was scarier than demon her. Throw in some copied scenes from The Conjuring and Insidious (and I mean Copied) and not even scary jump scares (I didn't even blink at them), and you've got a bad movie. If you're not going to bother with a good plot/characters, at least make it scary. All in all, I was very disappointed because it started out SO strongly that I genuinely don't know what went wrong. Wish they had explored more of the original family and how the demonic effect would grow on the already terrible father like a rural 60s version of The Shining.
