A Haunting in Connecticut

this 2002feature length documentary is one scary offering.i haven't seen the 2009 film version yet,so i can't compare the two,but this documentary was sure well done,in my opinion.in the chills department,it rates almost off the charts.there were a few scenes where my blood ran cold.the narrator(who also does the narration for the F.B.I. Files)has the perfect voice for this kind of program.a word of warning.if you watch this late at night,you may have trouble sleeping,as it's much more terrifying than most horror movies,due to a much higher degree of realism,in terms how it looks and how it's shot.that's just my opinion,of course.for me,A Haunting in Connecticut is a 9/10

I went to the gym last week. I flipped on the TV for background noise, with no intention of actually watching TV. This documentary happened to be on. I overheard some of the dialouge during my first set. It made me curious, so I started watching a bit. 45 min later, and with 5 other people who had joined me, we had all abandoned our work-outs. We were glued to the TV. I'm not a fan of horror or suspense movies. I am generally a skeptic about the supernatural. I do not believe in God. However, something about this show really, really got to me (and the 5 other people at the gym!). It was the most well done, and scariest account of a co-called haunting that I have ever come across.

The Parker family moves into an old home in Connecticut in order to be closer to the hospital where their son Paul is undergoing cancer treatment. Turns out that the house used to be a funeral parlor that is haunted by several demons who proceed to terrorize the family in general, and poor Paul in particular, threatening to undo his physical improvements by damaging his mind, and forcing him out of the house altogether, which does not end the haunting... First of two specials that led to the TV series creates an effectively eerie isolated & snowy atmosphere, even if viewer gets the feeling that the whole story is not being told. Still quite good regardless.

I started watching this for no particular reason and couldn't stop. It's basically documentary format telling of a supposedly true story involving a haunted house. It was very well acted, directed, and produced. Although it totally had a made-for-TV vibe, in this case the people involved in the creative process really nailed the genre. My girlfriend was scared to death and begged me to change the channel to "Pet Star" or "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" or maybe even "Animal Face-Off" (three of our standby favorites) but I refused, wresting the remote from her hand as I threw back my head and cackled maniacally. Anyway, I couldn't stop watching, I had to know what happened next. I think this movie is going to catch on as one that I'll watch every All Hallow's Eve and get my friends (who are legion, I assure you) to watch as well. We started out laughing about the bearded demon guy when he first appeared but by the time it was over and I was in bed I was terribly frightened that he was at any moment going to show up in my room and make with the spooky. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes horror. It may not be a remake or cop any Japanese trends, but it's something special. All who were involved should be very proud.

I saw this movie a few years ago while visiting a friend in Arizona. I regret saying that this film has haunted me, literally, since then.

I don't really like to discuss or think about things that have happened to me since seeing this film. Is it possible for this evil to have followed me? Trust me, I'm not crazy. Basically, I've had "night terrors" since seeing this film. My wife is already in the habit of waking me up, with force, when I begin screaming with the feeling of somebody trying to suffocate me.

The most horrifying thing that has happened was when I saw a hooded evil presence standing next to my bed.

Well, I won't say anymore except BE CAREFUL if you choose to watch this!
