Jackie is troubled by the disappearance of her friend from the rehabilitation centre, Danielle, who last lived in the apartment before her disappearance. Soon after she moves in, she meets some of the residents, including a little girl named Sarah and not long after, many residents start disappearing. Sarah’s foster parents also disappear after breaking the rules, after which Jackie takes Sarah under her wing and lets Sarah stay in her apartment. These strange occurrences in Havenhurst lead Jackie to believe that there is something wrong in Havenhurst and makes her suspect that Havenhurst must have been involved in the disappearance or perhaps, even death of her friend. So she investigates, she realizes that the only way to find out what happened to her friend is by breaking the rules of Havenhurst. She buys liquor and proceeds to drink it in her room.

Despite the details that Jackie had given, the police don’t do a good job at investigating and the movie abruptly ends with Jackie being tortured and the police leaving without investigating further.
Star Performance
Julie Benz as Jackie does an excellent job at acting as a recovering addict, especially the scenes where she drinks the alcohol.
Fionnula Flanagan Eleanor Mudget’s talent is also evident in her impeccable acting as the posh owner of the Havenhurst residence.
Analysis
The background music used for Havenhurst is appropriately eerie and sinister, however there are unnecessary sudden loud soundtracks used intended as jump-scares during some parts which would have otherwise not even been considered scary if it weren’t for those unnecessary sounds. The gore scenes are disturbing and realistic enough.

Verdict
It’s a good movie. Worth a watch. However, there are some intense gore scenes. Go ahead and watch it if you are okay with the gore.
