A Haunting In Connecticut...

This actually looks like a godd horror movie for once even a little scary and i never find horror movies scary.

It looks a bit similar to amityville horror which was a good film and its based on a true story which always makes them better.
 
Reckon I will check this out. Horrors are pretty much hit or miss with me. Either they do nothing for me, i.e. The Unborn or The Exorcist, they have a good and interesting plot but aren't scary, i.e. When a Stranger Calls or Reeker. Or they scare me so much I think I am going to have heart failure, i.e. The Ring or 1408. So with this... who knows!? :D
 
It's 'based' on a true story, so doesn't mean they have to be 100% true. Can take one little tiny thingy and get a whole film out of it lol.



It's an independent film I believe.
 
What a load of cack! As Grandpa Simpson would say, I've coughed up scarier stuff than this 'Amityville-lite' film.

The potential was there to make a half-decent horror flick, with the built in advantage of this being based on a supposedly true story. However, with the directors visual style consisting of those old and nauseating traits of rapid editing / fast cuts interspersed with constant flashbacks of 'horrific' deeRAB in the past all accompanied by a screeching, histrionic score throughout, you'll have the feeling you've seen this all before.

Had this adopted the Emily Rose (still one of the best creep out movied of recent years IMO) style of horror, this might have been a half-decent watch. But no, the stylistic choices firmly put this into the teen/slasher camp, doing an injustice to the events it's based on. Throw in some annoying kiRAB, a second rate exorcist and ghosties that don't actually do much other than hang around, and you have a recipe for boredom. Funny thing is, the trailers turned out to be much scarier than the finished article, which enticed me to see this.

A real stinker. Knew I should have seen 'Knowing' instead. 1/10 and one to avoid!
 
Probably the fact that some people lived in a house once.


If you've seen The Strangers that was supposed to be based on a true story and it turned out the story was someone knocked on the directors door and a couple of houses on his street were robbed. Nothing like the final product imo.
