Inspired by the frightening true-life tale of a family that moved into a converted funeral home and subsequently fell under supernatural attack, director Peter Cornwell's The Haunting in Connecticut follows the quest of a desperate mother to free her family from the grip of an evil beyond human comprehension. Sara (Virginia Madsen) and Peter Campbell (Martin Donovan) have just moved to Connecticut with their young son, Matt, when the young boy experiences a series of disturbing events that lead him to believe a malevolent force is attempting to take control of his family. Back when the home was still a funeral parlor, the original owner's clairvoyant assistant, Jonah, served as a gateway for restless spirits seeking to cross over into the physical realm. When Jonah returns to unleash a new kind of horror on the innocent family, Sara enlists the aid of enigmatic priest Popescu (Elias Koteas) in driving the evil out before it consumes her son's body and soul. At first it appears that Popescu has been successful in driving the spirits away, but then the terror becomes more intense than ever before. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Movie was interesting to watch, but not very intense for a horror movie. The movie is worth watching to see Virgina Madsen act. She plays the mother very well. Elias Koteas also plays the part of the priest with cancer well. I first saw him in House MD and liked his style of acting.
This movie was good. The extras/behind the scenes stuff was good too. However after research the mother's story seems completely unbelievable and contrived. Still entertaining nonetheless.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE AND I ENJOYED IT. I FELT THE ACTORS DID A GREAT JOB. GOOD ENTERTAINMENT AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS FICTION THE STORY HAD A REALISTIC FLARE TO IT.
