Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

trashgang Based on a true event this flick sadly doesn't deliver. The acting is okay and above mediocre but for a ghostly story it never becomes frightening. I mean, for horror geeks it isn't frightening. For beginners in the genre they will jump here and there but for me there are a few problems.The effects used are sometimes rather simple and are mostly done with colour grading turning colours to sepia and to black and white. It makes it flashy but it doesn't add a thing towards the atmosphere. On the other hand, seeing ghost disappear purely done with fading in editing gives it a cheap look. There are a few good moments on that I must agree but overall it is a mediocre flick clearly not made for the geeks. Ideal to watch with your teens. One scene did remind me of the excellent Masters of Horror episode Imprint, but be honest, Imprint was much better.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Leofwine_draca The original HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT was an entirely run-of-the-mill ghosthouse spooker, so I don't know why I expected any differently of this one. And, indeed, THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT 2 is an entirely predictable addition to the usual genre of modern haunted house movies. An unsuspecting family move into an old house and soon discover that terrible events of the past are coming to life via some vengeful spirits.So far, so pedestrian, and sadly this film has very little going for it. Fans who are entirely undemanding of where or how they receive their ghostly chills may enjoy it a little, but the rest of us will be bored by the too-dark cinematography, which turns everything blue (like 99% of similar films); the bland cast members, who can bring no life to their thankless roles; and the entire lack of decent characters. Instead we get the usual CGI augmented ghost scares, and not a lot else.

David Arnold Haunting In Connecticut 2 is based on reportedly true events of a young family - Lisa Wyrick, her husband Andy, and young daughter Heidi - who make a fresh start in a new home in the woods of Georgia. Lisa & her sister, Joyce, (who moves in with the family) both have the ability to see ghosts and they soon find out that Heidi also has this ability. As time passes Heidi starts seeing more & more of a horrible event that took place there some 150 years prior and the evil behind it all.The main thing that struck me about this movie was the title, A Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. It takes place in Georgia so how it can be a haunting in Connecticut is bewildering. It also has nothing to do with the first movie so again the title is misleading. It's not really that big a deal I suppose, but if you're hoping for a sequel (as I did) then you may be disappointed.I've never seen the original interviews or 'A Haunting...' TV series either so I don't know how true the movie depicts the family's events, but as an actual movie it's not too bad and I actually enjoyed it slightly more than the first. In saying that, however, the first hour is pretty messy. It just jumps about a bit and also gets pretty repetitive. For instance, a scene starts good...ends with a "scare". Next scene starts good...ends with a "scare", and so on. No real story building goes on and you kind of grab what you can as the movie goes on. The main part of the story that is never explained is why the family decide to move, though, but I guess it's just all left up to audience interpretation.Thankfully the last 30 minutes of the movie is MUCH better. Creepier "scare" scenes, the story's pieced together better and the movie moves along at a steadier pace. If it wasn't for the last 30 minutes then this movie would so easily have gotten a much lower rating.Overall not too bad of a "scare" movie to watch when there's nothing else on TV. Just don't expect anything amazing.
