Reception

Liu Yongjian of Lianhe Zaobao gave the film 2 and a half stars out of five for entertainment and one star out of five for art.[6] John Lui of The Straits Times gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 in his review of the film, stating, "While somewhat redeemed by its last story, which warns us that often, the stranger you are sexting with might want something more than a steamy chat, the most frightening thing about this horror movie is the wasted potential."[2] Douglas Tseng of 8 DAYS also gave the film 1.5 star out of 5 in his review of the film, stating, "Lame and lackluster, The Haunting Hour is more like Amateur Hour. Whatever potential Chan showed in the first movie isn’t here; he really dropped the ball on this one, and it fell through the floor and straight into the pits of Hell. What’s truly frightening is that this movie actually got made."[7] He included the movie on his list of the worst movies of 2018.[8]
