ARMENIAN HAUNTING sounds potentially interesting with that title but you soon realise that, like A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT, this is actually an American movie with an ethnic Armenian cast and crew. The story is low key and extremely limited in terms of budget, involving a young woman who delves into a familial mystery and soon finds herself being haunted in the present. The whole thing is very, very slow and let down by some rubbish post-production editing effects, such as having the video sway on the screen. The bit with the vomiting of the plastic bugs is also quite embarrassing.

You Call this a Movie
jamesfirass20 July 2018
My ten year old son can come up with better script, better acting and better smart phone camera recording. I don't even know why this garbage is labeled as a movie! It should be on YouTube and labeled as mature camera testers. I've seen pronos with better plots and better acting. What a waste of space on IMDb.

Stuff of Legends Terrible

This movie is not offensive, which is usually what I reserve a one-star rating for. However, it is so poorly made in every aspect that it was a chore to sit through.
Nothing new here and the production value is terrible.

Not A Typical Ghost Story
afishcalledsid12 March 2020
Lacking even a modicum of effects in terms of making the ghost or supernatural events scary, but a decent enough story and some good performances. Another reviewer's claim that the film is "political propaganda" is absurd. There is no "Armenians good; Turks bad" agenda in the story. The story features both noble and ignoble Armenian characters and is NOT simply about vilifying the Turks or Turkey. It is a fictional story with some connections to the Armenian genocide which is documented historical fact, rather like "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" was a fictionalized story set in the WWII Holocaust era. I wasn't thrilled by this movie, but was reasonably entertained by it.
