Groundhog Day meets The Others in Vincenzo Natali's fantastical ghost story Haunter. Abigail Breslin stars as Lisa, a young girl who has come to the realisation that she and her family are living the same day over and over again -- problem being, it's the day they died. Attempting to unravel the mystery as to why this is happening, Abigail sets about finding ways to "wake" the rest of the family to what is happening and also begins to form a bond with Olivia -- a young girl living in her family's house in the present day -- via a rudimentary style of friendly possession.
Lisa's activities, however, soon attract the attention of The Pale Man (McHattie), the malevolent spirit of a dead killer who still resides in the house and doesn't take kindly to the meddling of this young dead girl against his determination to continue killing. So, while The Pale Man sets about his particular style of murdering whole families in the real world, Abigail goes head-to-head with the cruel spirit in an attempt to warn the living and awaken the memories of previous victims so that they may gather the power to bring him down.
