When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner's clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover.
Now unspeakable terror awaits when Jonah, the boy who communicated with the dead, returns to unleash horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family

The Supernatural!
Saturday, March 28, 2009
Based on a chilling true story, Lionsgate's THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT charts one family's terrifying, real-life encounter with the dark forces of the supernatural.
The Haunting in Connecticut hardly rewrites the book on horror, but it understands what it's supposed to be, and it concocts enough cobweb-filled frames to fill the bill with chills, ensuring anyone along for the ride will feel a hint of dread next time they head into the basement.
Despite the many pitfalls that the filmmakers stepped in, A Haunting in Connecticut still comes off as a totally serviceable horror film. One that is deeply mired in traditions and struggling to find a distinct voice, but nonetheless an enjoyable way to kill a Friday night.
