Haunting Sarah (2005 TV Movie)
4/10
This could have been SOOOO much better!!!!!!

I've waited two weeks to see this movie because it sounded really interesting. But now that I have seen it, I must say it could have been so much better. Kim Raver did a wonderful job playing the twin sisters, however she was the only conceivable character in the whole movie. When David is killed and he comes back to haunt Sarah, no one knows why he's there or exactly what he's saying or doing. We don't even see him until towards the end of the movie when Sarah is possessed by him. And another thing, why would David be a violent spirit if he was a good kid that just died tragically? Ususally violent spirits are those who were horrible on earth and are facing purgatory.

The dream that Sarah's mom keeps having is never explained, the whole hatting process isn't shown to its full capacity, nor why David's spirit has to go into the newborn baby boy in order for Sarah to survive. There's a lot of fascinating aspects that are just left as cliff hangers for viewers to figure out and the movie just runs out of steam.

Personally, this movie could've been done a lot better had the producers done some research into the matter or at least tried to tie loose ends. I wouldn't recommend this movie to people who are interested in the subject as it is just too broad and inconclusive.

I give it a 4/10 just for Kim Raver's performance alone. She's the only actress that fit her role(s) perfectly.
