Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
vengeance20 First saw this on TV when I was 10 years old & by Christ it scared the living sh*t out of me! So much so, I didn't sleep for an entire night because of it!I then didn't watch it after a while until it came back on TV again. Though I was older, it still scared me! And even now as I'm currently writing this review I find it to be one of the best A Haunting Documentaries I've seen! Unlike the actual TV Series under the same name (sort of), this one has a good grip on you til the end, & even after the credits roll, it never seems to leave you, it's that sinister & chilling!The story is about a family who move from New York to up state Connecticut to treat their son who has cancer so he can be closer to the hospital treating him. The find a house thinking it's the perfect home & so much so can't believe how good it is until... they find the basement which holds clues to the homes past as it being a funeral parlour. But the worst is yet to come as the find it's haunted by demonic spirits who once ran the home as a morchery.The story is based off true events, though names & such were changed. I saw A Haunting in Georgia before this & thought it was pretty creepy, though when this came on straight after, terror hit me! Most notably, the shower scene is one of the most terrifying things I'd ever seen in my life, it still gives me the chills of fear! But the demon & everything else were also pretty scary. The music & narration really added to the film also & gave it a unnerving & spooky undertone! I overall thought this was a terrifying Documentary/Film. I'd give this a 9/10 as it truly was & still is, one of the most chilling & scariest Documentary's ever made!
hinesgtrservice I was fairly excited for this even though the other "A Haunting" episodes I've seen have been a laughing stock. I read so many great things, and the high rating here on IMDb led me to believe that this was actually going to be a spooky tale. I already knew that this story had been debunked, but it didn't much matter to me; I treat all of these as works of fiction. Well, as it turns out, everyone was wrong. This story is far from creepy. It starts out fairly nice with an eerie setting as the house used to be a Funeral Parlor. Here's where it just gets ridiculous. Are we supposed to believe that expensive, dangerous and morbid equipment used on the deceased was just left behind? No way in hell. Are we supposed to believe that this family actually uses the freezer that held human cadavers for food? Right; though they seem nuts enough. Then we find out there's a demon in the house and Ed and Lorraine Warren (sigh) claim the portal to hell lies there. Yeah, that's the same thing they said with the other big name haunting-Amityville. (Yet another hoax they were involved in.) This story is just so over-the- top, it's downright silly. Far from disturbing as so many others claim. I suppose if you really believe in demons, exorcism, and fairy-tale deities, there's a chance you could maybe buy into their story. Otherwise, you'll be laughing the whole way through. Overall, it isn't even worth the couple of chuckles you get. I suppose it is disturbing in the fact that people believe this junk and that humans actually act this way in real life all for faith.
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.
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.
