The Haunting of Sharon Tate
Pregnant with director Roman Polanski's child and awaiting his return from Europe, 26-year-old Hollywood actress Sharon Tate becomes plagued by visions of her imminent death.
Why it matters
A supernatural thriller that attempts to channel real-life tragedy into a haunted psychological portrait but falters in execution and taste.
- Explores the intersection of true crime and supernatural horror, though with controversial liberties that divide audiences.
- Hillary Duff’s performance struggles under a script that muddles trauma with genre tropes, offering an uneven emotional anchor.
- For viewers drawn to hauntings steeped in historical context, it’s a flawed but rare attempt to mythologize a tragic moment in Hollywood history.
- Not for those seeking respectful true-crime retellings or tight storytelling—this one leans heavily into exploitation territory.
