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.

Biggest Swing

The film drops significantly from the effectively creepy early supernatural encounters to the poorly executed shock value of the carved symbols sequence.

The Haunting in Connecticut starts strong with effective atmosphere and family drama but becomes increasingly formulaic as it progresses. Critics appreciated the realistic portrayal of the cancer storyline and Kyle Gallner's performance, but criticized the film's reliance on predictable jump scares and poor special effects. The ending divided reviewers between those who found it satisfying and those who felt it was too Hollywood.
