Variety John Anderson
There's something clumsily charming about Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour.

LA Weekly Jim Ridley
It’s as not-unpleasantly amateurish as the regional genre movies that four-walled rural theaters in the days before video. But do-nothing Sarah may be the dullest, most featureless and inactive protagonist in recent movies.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The supernatural plot elements are developed so unconvincingly that the story seems to be about people ruining their own lives by believing in stupid superstitions, so it’s a shock to realize the ghostly goings-on are meant to be taken seriously.

The New York Times Andy Webster
The film is sunk by a pervasive stasis, the byproduct not of mood but of the filmmakers’ amateurish abilities. If there’s one thing Nick and Disney know, it’s that youthful entertainment needs to keep moving.

Boston Globe Ty Burr
A dull little PG-rated spook story for tweener girls.
