Reviews:
” …The Haunting of Hythe House never comes remotely close to being scary or even interesting. It’s eighty-five minutes of tedium marked by occasional feeble attempts at scares. If it was meant as a middle finger to critics, myself included, who have given Smith’s films bad reviews it didn’t work and will only get him more bad reviews if it’s noticed at all.” Voices from the Balcony
