Why so much hype?

Good concept, poorly executed.

Best movie ever!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The Haunting in Connecticut is mostly a family drama with a bunch of annoying jump-out moments and disturbing images scattered around. If you want scary, watch the A Haunting episode on the Discovery channel about this same story. The real story is more frightening than this adaptation.

With their teenage son undergoing cancer treatment the Campbell family move into a creepy Victorian mansion nearer to the hospital in order to cut down on the travelling. Soon creepy things start to happen. In fact lots of spooky things happen, too much & too soon in the movie. Sadly this means any scare factor soon loses it's power & it becomes somewhat cliché & predictable. Acting & special effects are reasonable. One of the highlights is the revelation of many corpses inside the house.
There is much variation in reviews for this film on here, but to rate it 1/10 is as ludicrous as awarding it 10/10. As haunted house movies go it is reasonably good but certainly not a classic.

Still love this movie in 2017. One of the best and most entertaining scary movies that stands the test of time. Compared to what is out there these past few years, nothing scares or intrigues me anymore. This movie is fantastic. It is Hollywood based off of a true story, just like all other scary movies, don't expect it to be so flat on to real facts.

THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT, a spook-house show crafted to crash in on the ever-present public appetite for ghost stories, single-handedly manages to cram in each and every haunted house cliché ever filmed and put it into just one movie. The storyline mixes slow-building suspense with dark and dank cellars, restless spirits, spooky seances, plenty of ectoplasm, possession, and everything else besides.Sadly, despite the 'true story' tag, none of this ever rings true. Instead it comes across as a bland and soulless piece of money-making, a film in which the enjoyment factor is sucked dry from the outset. With major characters suffering from cancer and the rest suffering from a 'lack of personality' crisis, there's absolutely nothing to enjoy here and nothing we haven't seen before.The narrative is so laboured and mundane that merely recounting it is a bore, while the whole haunted house genre has been handled much better more recently with the likes of MAMA and THE CONJURING (not great movies, either of them, but a darn sight better than this). A strangely wooden Virginia Madsen gives the dullest performance of her career, and even the reliable Elias Koteas can't improve things. Give it a miss.
