Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Stevieboy666 Young family, plus the wife's sister, move into an old country house in Georgia which has a history of helping slaves escape to the north but which is also haunted. This title is nothing more than a dumb cash-in on the original movie as this is set in Georgia, NOT Connecticut. However it is superior to the first movie. Sure, like the first film, we have overkill on the ghosts, which soon lose any scare factor & just become the norm. And there are some gaping plot holes - why wasn't the rest of the underground "station" fully explored previously in the movie when the initial corpses were discovered? And a 25ft fall later looks like an 8ft one. However, this one has a far more interesting story & I think much better characters than part 1. And although it's not particularly frightening it does have a number of scary moments. Overall a pretty simple but satisfying ghost tale, though I take any "based on a true story" claim regards such films with a huge piece of salt.

Scarecrow-88 Groan. Here's another yawner with so many loud bangs and "this is the time to freak out or jump" cues (the soundtrack is quite noisy and never- ending), it doesn't have time to breathe. Slaves were supposedly rescued by a stationmaster considered a hero in Southern history, but the film points out how this wasn't the case. A taxidermist by trade, it was told down through generations he helped provide refuge and escape for slaves, only with help by a ghost named Mr. Gordy (talking to a child, the daughter of lead Abigail Spencer) do we learn the real truth. An ancestor of Mr. Gordy, the stationmaster did some horrible misdeeds with his taxidermy skills. With Chad Michael Murray (of One Tree Hill) as Spencer's husband (he's all complacent and okay with his daughter's talking to Mr. Gordy, for whom she's the only one who sees him) and the sexy-as-hell Katee Sackoff as Spencer's sister (escaping bad relationships with men and sober from the drink) in the cast, all eventually dealing with the ghosts of the slaves of Pine Mountain and the evil spirit of the stationmaster, with frequent visits to a well where a special hidden room reveals some unpleasant examples of taxidermy in secret.Cicely Tyson is made up to almost resemble a corpse, her eyes discolored and for whatever reason she has horse teeth in her mouth. I was clueless as to why she's made up this way. Her character had relatives that vanished and were never seen again; later, the film shows us where they've been "kept" for quite some time. This is one of those unnecessary characters that knows a child knows. It is like that scene in The Shining when Scatman Crothers addresses "the shine" with Danny Lloyd in the kitchen; Tyson seems to know that the little girl has the ability to see what many others can't. It is basically what Sackoff told the child earlier, but Spencer tries to fend off their embracing of this gift.The film commits fully to "ghost fades" and constant appearances of apparitions popping up practically in every damn scene! Sackoff deserves better than to be lying on the floor with thread strings protruding from her mouth, needled to the roof of an abandoned trailer. Surprising to see a talent like Spencer in something abysmal as this "depiction of a true story". She sees her dead mother and has a "gift" where dead people are visible to her (as they are for the kid and Sackoff) all the time, as pills seem to help very little. Chad just kind of goes with the flow, not all that concerned that the women in his life see dead people. It is all nonchalant and meh to him, although he does rise to the occasion when his daughter's life is in jeopardy. There is a Baptist version of an exorcism (obviously there's *got* to be an exorcism, right?) that does little to help stop the ghosts from hanging around. You do get to see the child finally receive help riding her bike as Mr. Gordy gives her a push. Yeah. And what's up with that title? Sheesh. Why tie yourself to an even worse ghost film? The direction is too busy with all the ghostly visits and warnings of the boogeyman to tell a story in a way that feels like editing ADHD style.You get near drowning in a bathtub, puked out maggots and roaches, rotted corpses, sack-head racists performing taxidermy on a taxidermist, slave corpses in a well, slave ghosts leading a way to their current resting place, a ghoul whose hideous face is stitched to a potato sack, and numerous spectres unafraid to hide themselves. This is a lot of effects, both in what you see and hear, but it is all tiresome instead of scary.

shathar_o how could you mess The Haunting in Connecticut part 1 so tremendously? i was expecting some sort of change? but it's nothing but the same previous part, with different actors, the first one is pretty enjoyable and horrifying, with a wonderful performance, but this one? EH! let me just state that there were a bit of jump-scares and all, but why the hell is it rated R? it's so predictable and not so terrifying, the first hour of the film is a total waste, the characters see a floating ghost? then what? the first hour is pretty much the characters seeing ghosts, we get it, i got really confused how the mother doesn't believe her daughter ALTHOUGH, she sees ghosts as well as her, that's pretty messed-up, lots of scenes were dumb; and a mature average human was not to re-act the way the actors did, the little Emily Alyn Lind had a good performance though, that's why i'm giving it the 3 stars, anyway, it wasn't the horror i was looking for, it's a waste of time and money, this movie basically ruined the true story, it could have gone better .. it's not recommended, don't think about it whatsoever.

Will Greywolf It's the very first time that a movie makes me want to write a review. For the beginning, the cast was a perfect match, they were flawless for a horror movie, not too bad-ass neither too dumb-bass.I wasn't expect much thing after read the plot, but guess what! I was wrong, The Haunting in Connecticut 2 brings a solid plot about ghosts that in the end appeals for an emotional scene that is awesome. If you are looking for gore, blood and extreme horrifying things this one is not for youI don't know why low rating, but I think it is because the first movie wasn't so good as this one and everyone expected the worst.If you don't want a blockbuster movie with a remade and same history give it a try.PS: My review is most directly to people who are involved with horror movies and enjoy all kinds in the genre
