Haunts is a 1976 American psychological horror film directed by Herb Freed, and starring May Britt, Cameron Mitchell, and Aldo Ray.

[2] Ingrid is a young Swedish woman residing with her American uncle Carl at his farm in rural Northern California.

Later that evening, a local woman, Nell, is attacked and murdered in her car following an angry interaction with Bill at a tavern.

The next evening, Ingrid prays at the local church, but is interrupted when Frankie arrives to confess his transgression to the vicar.

During the search, Peterson is startled to see Frankie arrive at the house; simultaneously, the deputies find Ingrid's goat buried in a shallow grave in the yard.

[2] Actor Cameron Mitchell recalled the film as "very strange," and he was unsure of director Freed's vision.

[2] According to Freed, during a limited engagement screening in Fort Bragg, California, the film out-grossed The Exorcist (1973) and The Shootist (1976).

[6] Leonard Maltin wrote a favorable review of the film, noting: "You have to stay with it to appreciate this offbeat horror pic fully, but it's well worth the effort.

"[7] However, Roger Ebert selected this film as his "Dog of the Week" on a 1981 episode of his show Sneak Previews, calling it "confusing" with an "incomprehensible plot."
