A Haunting In Connecticut (2002)

Truly Dreadful Film

Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

People are voting emotionally.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I enjoy a good ghost story, but this just falls into that Amityville Horror silly fiction category. So the house is haunted because it was once a funeral home. -- But wait! There's more! The place is also possessed by the devil! Gee, was it also built on an Indian burial ground? Low budget stuff. Strictly last resort viewing. Not to be confused with the theatrical movie of the same name, although that's undoubtedly what the producers want. Overly long and originally produced for the Discovery Channel, although why Discovery would ever air this is beyond me. There is a twin production on the same DVD I bought called A Haunting in Georgia, which is a similarly cheap, pointless escapade that unexpectedly turns into an ode to the fundamentalist Christian mentality.

this 2002feature length documentary is one scary offering.i haven't seen the 2009 film version yet,so i can't compare the two,but this documentary was sure well done,in my opinion.in the chills department,it rates almost off the charts.there were a few scenes where my blood ran cold.the narrator(who also does the narration for the F.B.I. Files)has the perfect voice for this kind of program.a word of warning.if you watch this late at night,you may have trouble sleeping,as it's much more terrifying than most horror movies,due to a much higher degree of realism,in terms how it looks and how it's shot.that's just my opinion,of course.for me,A Haunting in Connecticut is a 9/10

I saw this episode on discovery channel last night. Just before I was going to sleep, a very bad decision. Switching from one channel to another, I was thinking maybe discovery channel will air a supernatural show and voila, there it was. Watching it was absolutely terrifying, I could not change the channel, because I had to see the ending. Actually, from the moment the mother was mopping the floor, I was hooked. But definitely worth the while. Although I did not sleep well, the terror kept haunting me (so to speak).I think it will stay with me for sometime, and it's good to read the comments of other viewers. Unlike some of you I don't like horror movies or suspension thrillers (it scares me so much, it's not pleasant anymore), unless I know in advance there worth watching, like the 'Sixt Sense' and 'Unbreakable'. Also very impressive, but at least there were based on fiction. 'Unbreakable' also gave a feeling about what true evil looks like. Something I never hope to experience personally!In short, a very impressive documentary, I reward it with a 9.

I started watching this for no particular reason and couldn't stop. It's basically documentary format telling of a supposedly true story involving a haunted house. It was very well acted, directed, and produced. Although it totally had a made-for-TV vibe, in this case the people involved in the creative process really nailed the genre. My girlfriend was scared to death and begged me to change the channel to "Pet Star" or "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" or maybe even "Animal Face-Off" (three of our standby favorites) but I refused, wresting the remote from her hand as I threw back my head and cackled maniacally. Anyway, I couldn't stop watching, I had to know what happened next. I think this movie is going to catch on as one that I'll watch every All Hallow's Eve and get my friends (who are legion, I assure you) to watch as well. We started out laughing about the bearded demon guy when he first appeared but by the time it was over and I was in bed I was terribly frightened that he was at any moment going to show up in my room and make with the spooky. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes horror. It may not be a remake or cop any Japanese trends, but it's something special. All who were involved should be very proud.
