mattyovashton09 I first got this DVD by accident as i was told it was the actual 2009 cinema released a Haunting in Connecticut, but as i had it i thought i would come on here and see the reviews people had written about the film, i saw people saying that it was the scariest thing they had seen and numerous accounts saying that they had witnessed or felt paranormal activity after watching this film, so when i saw this i expected a very scary film and what i got was the complete opposite poorly filmed and the usual bits that make you jump where just missing, i rate this 1 out of 10 only because 0 isn't available to use. If you want to watch it by all means watch it but i highly recommend watching the 2009 version and not watching this excuse of a film.

Christian Gupta I made the mistake of seeing this at night, cause after I saw it, I did not sleep at all, I stayed up all night watching t.v.It took a lot to recover from this scary Documentary.Anyway, seeing that this is just an ordinary 3 story house with low rent, beautiful furnishings, large kitchen, 2 upstairs bed rooms, 2 upstairs bathrooms, a larger living room, and a 2 room basement. I thought, nothing can be too scary in this house, but boy was I wrong. It scared me to death, I couldn't help but feel sorry for those living in the house. Seeing that ghost calling Paul's name was scary, but the worst parts were seeing him trap Karen in the shower, drive a truck and almost crushing Ed to death, and standing on the stairs giving a camera man a head on attack. At that moment, I just wanted to scream. Seeing that ghost's face just from and then seeing his mouth smirk, and then turn into a fireball, was enough to knock me out of my chair.After seeing this, I saw The Shining, and The Shining is no where near as scary as this terrifying documentary. I do not recommend watching this, unless you want the living daylights scared out of you. Seeing this haunted me for some time. I am now over it, but I know that I will never see this documentary again. One watch was enough.Do Not Watch This, Unless You Are Willing To See The Shining, The Haunting, and be willing to get scared to the death, cause this documentary will haunt you for some time.

Gafke I made the serious mistake of watching this feature length documentary shortly before going to bed. I did not sleep at all that night.This is the allegedly true story of the Parker family, whose eldest son is terribly ill and requires frequent hospital visits. In order to be closer to the hospital where he receives treatment, the entire Parker family move into a new home which is a shorter drive from the facilities. It is also conveniently located quite close to a cemetery. The house itself is a large, impressively grandiose estate, but when Mr. and Mrs. Parker head downstairs just after purchasing the home, they discover a basement room filled with an odd assortment of surgical tools and a large freezer. To their horror, the couple realize they are standing in a disused embalming room. The house was once a funeral home.Having sunk their life savings into the purchase of their new home, The Parkers have no choice but to go ahead and move in. They decide to conceal the history of the house from their children, but odd things soon begin to occur. A kitchen floor stubbornly refuses to be cleansed of a vicious pool of blood. The sickly teenage boy, Paul, begins hearing voices, and all of the children see phantoms and shadows moving throughout the house. Paul's temper begins to fray and he grows increasingly violent. Not even removing him from the house seems to help, which his parents do after he attacks his own cousin. Instead, the forces inside of the house shift their focus, and the demonic displays of physical violence and destruction reach explosively frightening levels. By the time a team of parapsychologists arrive to investigate, it is almost too late. This is a very eerie documentary, and incredibly well made. The mood throughout is suffocatingly dreary and filled with unrelenting dread. The performances are all quite good and somehow, genuine fear is infused into every frame. Whether it's the discovery of the embalming equipment in the basement, or a face-to-face encounter with a black-eyed demon in the darkness, this documentary will leave you with a sinking feeling of horror in the pit of your stomach and an overwhelming urge to glance around your immediate surroundings during the commercials, just to make sure there is nothing lurking in the shadowy corners.I really had not intended to stay up and watch the entire program, but it hooked me easily and kept me watching late into the night, despite the fact that I had to get up early for work the next day. I didn't sleep that night anyway, and kept my bedside light on all night long. That's how unsettling I found this program to be, and I don't scare easily.If you like ghost stories, historical accounts of haunted houses, and having the holy old crap scared out of you, watch this show the next time it's run on TV. It's one of the best shows of its kind I have ever seen. Be sure to catch its companion piece: A Haunting in Georgia, as well.

mOVIemAN56 I've caught glimpse's of these (the other being 'A Haunting In Georgia') but was never able to see the whole thing. A few weeks back I was sick and lay on my coach watching TV. Around supper I flipped on the TV to find this just starting. Having just moved to a new house, the Parker family (Karen, Paul, Bobby and Ed) is running low on luck. Their son Paul is sick with a form of cancer. the two boys explore the house on the first day of moving in. They find the house to be old, spooky, and dark. In the basement they find doctors tools and learn the house once belonged to a doctor. They decide move into the basement and not think anything of the old tools. That night they 'dream' of seeing people walking around in the other room. They still ignore it but soon it is too much as the figures move into their room and begin to come near them. They run continuously from the room but one night as Booby sleeps upstairs, Paul tries to confront the 'figures'. He is confronted by a blacked eyed, tuxedoed man and begins to act strange. The next few days Paul changes, he stays in his bedroom, listens to loud music, and ignores the family. The family has their cousin stay with them for the weekend, Therese, and she tries to talk with Paul. Paul begins to become violent, writing violent messages in his diary and attempts to attack Therese as she sleeps. After they learn that their son is possessed and workers move into the house to monitor them. After this one of the scariest confrontations between good and evil I've ever seen happens and it will seriously keep you up shaking at night. The film, along with its counterpart, is absolutely terrifying and I recommend you sleep with the light on. It doesn't matter if you believe in God, exorcisms, and demons, you will still find this one of the scariest things you'll ever see. Afterwards I thought that 'could this really happen?' Could it?A Haunting In Connecticut. Starring: Vanessa Lock, Brett Fleisher, Rob Pearson, and Tyler Reid.5 out of Stars. Terrifying.
