Review of The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) by Shaunp. — 29 Mar 2009
Alright. So this isn't a classic. It isn't a shining example of film as an art form. It isn't much of anything other than a scary movie. And on that level, it delivers the shocks and scares better than any of the horror movies I've seen in the theatre in the last year.
Sure, anyone familiar with horror film tropes will experience a distinct sense of deja vu, and anyone who's seen The Amityville Horror, with which this movie's inspiration shares many real-world connections, will connect the dots between that movie's plot and this one's, but Haunting manages to bring the scares without being a remake of something done in America in the 80's or in Japan in the 90's.
Surely that counts for something.
