Nadat bij hun zoon kanker wordt geconstateerd, besluiten Sara (Virginia Madsen) en Peter Campbell (Martin Donovan) dichtbij een speciale kliniek te gaan wonen. Er gebeuren echter vreemde onverklaarbare dingen in het huis, maar Sara en Peter schrijven die toe aan de stress door de omstandigheden. Maar dan blijkt dat het huis een voormalig mortuarium is, met een duister verleden. (Benelux Film Distributors)

Not nearly as bad as I expected and quite a pleasant surprise when compared with the recent and ostentatiously stupid Unborn. The story, of course, is one massive cliché, but I still liked it. The arc with the sick boy helps quite a lot, preventing the film from being as generic as other ghost stories. On the other hand, the film takes itself very seriously, which hurts it in some passages – a bit of a B-movie approach wouldn’t have hurt (but given that the hero is dying of cancer, the creators probably didn’t have balls for that). Average, watchable.

The Haunting in Connecticut definitely isn't a completely bad horror film, which surprised me because I was expecting something mediocre. However, this is a film with a frenetic pace, especially in how the images of horror are depicted. And there are plenty of them. From those that are relatively realistic to ectoplasm swirling through the air. The writing on the body is truly repulsive.
