Matt (Kyle Gallner) is a teenager with serious issues. Instead of the usual things such as being a non chick magnet or even acne; he has cancer and the boy appears to always be in agony. To get his treatments, he must travel a great distance and the trip causes him so much pain on the way home. His mother Sarah (Virgina Madsen) decides it's best to rent another home in order to shorten the distance for him. Due to financial woes, the family rents a very cheap place with a rather …

   I am quite familiar with the Discovery channel documentary that has supposedly inspired this film by Peter Cornwell. The documentary “Haunting in Connecticut” chronicles the experiences of the Snedeker family during their stay in a certain house that was formerly a mortuary. So where is this story? I’ll get right to the point, if you are expecting a dramatization or an accurate portrayal about the true events experienced by the Snedeker family; you are in for a huge …

A family moves into a huge house in Connecticut to be closer to their sons treatment center. Four hours is a long ride, especially for a cancer patient. When the Campbell family finds a house that fits their budget and is only minutes from the hospital, they jump on it. Soon they find out that they are not the only ones living there. The house was previously used to summon the dead and once they got there, they didn't want to leave.    I loved this movie. I don't scare easily …

Loosely based on the Snedeker family story from the book "In A Dark Place" and the brilliant documentary "A Haunting In Connecticut," "The Haunting In Connecticut" fails to rise above it's base material.     As the plot of the film goes, the Campbell family takes up residency in a home "with a dark past" in order to have their ill son closer to the hospital where he is receiving treatment for his cancer. Once they've moved in, however, strange things begin to happen. The son, …

There isn't much I can say about "The Haunting in Connecticut" that I haven't already said about other films of this type, and that in and of itself says plenty. Let's begin with the fact that it's "based on a true story"--if there's one thing horror movies have taught me time and time again, it's to take such claims with more than a few grains of salt. Honestly, does anyone believe that these events actually happened? Let the details speak for themselves; during the 1980s, the Snedeker family claimed …
