When I bought tickets for this movie, I was thinking that it was going to be like An American Haunting. I did not read any reviews before I viewed the movie. This movie is nothing like An American Haunting. It starts out slow, like most horror movies, but then it really starts to pick up. I must say that I actually jumped several times during this viewing. I think you will too!!

i have seen tons of scary movies and soo far this is the best. Unlike most movies, the haunting in connecticut wasnt cheesy. It was very well played and scared the s*** out of my friends. I recommend this movie to any1 who has a heart for horror. However i do not advise any adults to let children in.this movie was scarier than i am legend.The best part about this movie was that it was BASED ON A TRUE STORY. I absolutely fell in love and today i am going to see it for the second time andwhen it gets out i am going to buy it and put it on my ipod. hope they make some good posters because i love it. So get your but up, go to the movies, and watch THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT. u wont regret it. I love this movie. the movies worth watching a million times.

by alyssa I wanted to go see this movie because it was scary but was rated PG-13, which usually means it's not THAT scary. Because this was based on a true story, it made it very believable - it even showed pictures from the real house at the end of the movie (be sure to stay and see them!). A lot of surprise pop-outs, so if you're not into that, I wouldn't see it. It had a perfect balance of ghosts and gore - there wasn't too much gore, but enough where I had to shut my eyes a few times. If you're into ghost stories, definitely the movie for you. Cried once in the movie because the plotline was very sad, but I NEVER cry during movies. Music and sound effects (as well as visual effects) were amazing - really made the movie. If you held your ears the whole time, it wouldn't be scary at all. I definitely recommend seeing this - finally a thriller that actually scares you! However, if you're one of those who has nightmares after seeing horror films, definitely not the one for you.

This movie had everything that you would expect from a horror film. Unlike alot of the garbage of remakes that we are being forced to watch (Friday the 13th) this movie actually scares you. Not since the Exorcist and Amityville Horror have a horror film actuall did what it was suppose to do. Scare you. The acting in this movie was great. Everyone played their part and no one seemed out of place. THe story line just flowed and not at any point do you wonder what is going on. It all went together perfectly. I love horror movies and rarely do I find something that makes me jump out of my seat. This was more of the old horror films that was made in the 70's and 80's. No blood or gore just imagination at it's best. As with any good horror movie there has to be a twist and you get that as well. I have been waiting a long time for a true horror film to come out. Hopefully Hollywood will realize that originality is the way to go and not remakes. Stop with the remakes already.

Great.Now im in the 7th grade. My friend wanted to see a movie and she really liked scary movies. i was iffy on the whole scary thing. This movie was good. wasnt to scary. Nothing real gorey. Just left you holding on til the end and wondering how everything was going to play out. it was really good! Go see it! and for all you kids out there like me you most likely wont have nightmares. Enjoy.
