Plot summary

When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner's clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover.

The Connecticut Horror. Supposedly grounded in truth, The Haunting in Connecticut is a decent little spooker, yet still a pic that has all the pitfalls of other notable films of its ilk. Plot for what it's worth has a family move into a new home, only to find that it has ghosts and ghoulies residing within. But why? There's good strength in the family dynamic at work here, the eldest son has cancer and is undergoing treatment. Thus he becomes the conduit for the strange happenings, and this as his parents fight impending grief and personal worries. The scares toddle along effectively, atmosphere via camera work and sound effects is perfectly efficient, and the story has enough mystery about it to carry you through to the end. Unfortunately there's a lot of daft stuff as well, I mean who in their right mind would sleep in a basement room and not force open an adjoining door to see what is in there? It's these ridiculous leaps of faith required that if you are not willing? Then they kill the movie for you. The ending also takes some believing, such is the rampant stench of Hollywood of it all. Well performed in the main (Virginia Madsen solid as a rock/Elias Koteas shining in spite of being under used), this deserves to be rated above average. But ultimately it rings hollow at times and quickly runs out of scares in the last third. 6/10

Very enjoyable little horror flick- despite its flaws

It has its familiar moments and a sprinkle of cliches, but The Haunting in Connecticut does prove to be a decent and quite interesting little haunted house film- feeling very reminiscent as well as inspired by The Amityville Horror. Personally I enjoyed this flick. Yeah, it has some melodramatic moments at times, but I was certainly never bored while watching it. The fact that this film has such low ratings, especially when compared to other anticipated flops like The Possession is quite alarming. The acting is pretty well done, namely from Virginia Madsen, Elias Koteas, and Kyle Gallner. The only one who isn't all that great is Martin Donovan as the father character, but he's hardly in the movie enough to make a difference- heck even the kid actors are decent in this film. The imagery throughout the movie is haunting and surreal, it crawls under your skin, and truly allows for the atmosphere to really shine throughout the film despite its more noticeable flaws. The cinematography is nice, and the story is pretty well paced, albeit a bit formulaic at times, but still enjoyable. In the end, I do not see why The Haunting in Connecticut deserves so much hate, and found it to be a rather decent little horror flick. It may have some similarities to horror films in the past, but its unique moments and inspired ones lend it to be a very entertaining and creepy film i'm glad I didn't pass on.My Rating: 7.3/10.
