Tras recibir la noticia de que su hijo adolescente, Matt (Kyle Gallner), tiene cáncer, Sarah (Virginia Madsen) y Peter Campbell (Martin Donovan) deciden trasladar a toda la familia cerca de la clínica dónde Matt está siendo tratado. El lugar elegido es una imponente casa de estilo victoriano que oculta un oscuro pasado como antigua funeraria en la que sucedieron terribles acontecimientos. La familia empieza a presenciar violentos y extraños fenómenos que, al principio, asocian con el estrés provocado por la enfermedad. Pronto se darán cuenta de que se enfrentan a oscuras y terroríficas fuerzas de origen sobrenatural. Basada en escalofriantes hechos reales. (DeAPlaneta)

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.
