The Haunting in Connecticut
July 16, 2009
All in all it’s a pretty good old fashioned haunted house movie. Not heavy on the special effects, which is a nice change, pretty spooky, not too much revealed in the beginning like most others do (remember less is more). Not to bloody, so the kids can still be scared. It’s a lighter version of Amityville Horror.
Matt’s mother, desperate to find a house closer to the hospital where her son is going through experimental cancer treatments takes the to good to be true bargain of a house with a little “history”. The film is based on the true story of funeral home where the corpse’s were defiled and used for seances. Years later the Campbell family moves in on whim and spooky things start happening. The family tries to learn the history and deal with the disgruntled ghosts. Nothing to heavy, the younger the viewers get, the scarier it will be. There are better haunted house movies, but, there are plenty of worse ones also. The acting is pretty good by Virginia Madsen and the rest of the cast. Not a bad Saturday night on the couch.
