The Haunting in Connecticut Reviews

The Haunting in Connecticut might offer the occasional jolt, some creepy imagery, and maybe even a moment or two of genuine fright, but the production resorts to ghost movie clichés that audiences have grown accustomed to over the years.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 2, 2023

The Haunting in Connecticut remains a predictable vehicle of horror, lost within the masses.

| Aug 18, 2023

[D]espite Adam Swica's shadowy cinematography, and some well-timed shocks there's a sense that we've seen it all before.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 30, 2019

Solidly made, watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2019

Cornwell should be commended for trying to tell a horror story using real characters rather than stereotypes.

If you're a big fan of creaking floorboards, sudden jolts, and abandoned funeral homes, go nuts.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 24, 2011

A run-of-the-mill spooker that often opts for Dolby jolts and Avid farts over character investment.

| Dec 17, 2009

Una supuesta historia real sirve de base para un drama familiar enmarcado en un cuento de fantasmas. Nada nuevo. Previsible y efectista.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 8, 2009

The movie works hard for your money and should theoretically be scarier than the cut rate television production. But it's not. Not by a mile.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 25, 2009

After about the 35th boo scare in as many minutes, the unfailingly cheesy "The Haunting in Connecticut" joins a growing legion of 2009 films offering self-reflective commentary on their own crappiness: "We're bored," shouts a baby brother.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 16, 2009

Virginia Madsen and Kyle Gallner give their all to at least anchor some emotional reality to the fairly routine enterprise.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 7, 2009

Woe be to you if you don't see this film in a theater packed with back talking New Yorkers. Because then you might be forced to concentrate on what's on screen.

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Aug 14, 2009

Not as scary as 2005's 'Amityville Horror' but good nonetheless.

| Original Score: 2.75/3 | Jul 15, 2009

If you can solve 0 plus 0, you can predict the ending.

| Original Score: D- | Jun 10, 2009

the film may indeed be a little dumb at times, it nevertheless proves to be an effective horror-thriller

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 25, 2009

There are the beginnings of a good movie here.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 15, 2009

Call it a Lifetime original movie made for Halloween. Call it a Sci-Fi Channel Saturday night thriller. ... and keep waiting for something that might actually scare you.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 14, 2009

To its credit, the movie seems to understand that the primal appeal of these stories lies as much in the appearance of solemn dead people as in the possibility of domestic horrors.

| Original Score: 48/100 | Apr 7, 2009

In the poorly paced and ineptly edited Haunting in Connecticut, Matt is surrounded by dark shadows, ooky male choruses, and reflections of tortured corpses in dirty glass.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Apr 7, 2009
