(1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 22% Rotten Page   1   C+ "It's one of those movies where the reactions of those around you may be more entertaining than the film itself."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark C+ "It's one of those movies where the reactions of those around you may be more entertaining than the film itself."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 2/5 "a subpar cinematic translation"   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 2/5 "The movie works hard for your money and should theoretically be scarier than the cut rate television production. But it's not. Not by a mile."   Kinetofilm   Brian Holcomb B- "Manages to break free from heavy iron genre chains and provide a spooky event that might not send the average viewer screaming out of the theater, but it could induce some heavy fingernail chewing during the ride."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf C- "This structurally defective horror movie never pays off on the carefully planted "Boo" scares that it detonates at a regular rate during its underdeveloped story."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2/10 "In the poorly paced and ineptly edited Haunting in Connecticut, Matt is surrounded by dark shadows, ooky male choruses, and reflections of tortured corpses in dirty glass."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/4 "Begins with promise but quickly derails as scene after scene becomes mere setup for predictable 'boo!' moments, overly flashy editing, and hokey CGI effects."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C "You won't find much new in this mundane but atmospheric thriller."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "Far more intriguing than your average PG-13 genre entry."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "So old-fashioned in its effects that it seems positively quaint; it resembles nothing so much as one of those 'scary' primetime telefilms that ABC specialized in during the 1970s."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "works at times as an effectively creepy chiller that loses its way only near the end when it starts getting too sensationalistic for its own good"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 1/5 "Unoriginal, shoddy horror film is too gory for kids."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3.0/4.0 "Bigger on plot than fright, Haunting succeeds in transitioning from initial boo-scare tactics to genuinely ghastly storytelling, but it's no 1408."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson C ""The Amityville Horror" already spawned several sequels - did it really need a spinoff too?"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[R]ote haunted-house flick, which telegraphs its obvious scares, even the ones it has shamelessly stolen from far superior scary movies..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Virginia Madsen and Kyle Gallner give their all to at least anchor some emotional reality to the fairly routine enterprise."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3/5 "The Haunting in Connecticut is never particularly scary--making it a horror film for people who don't really like horror films."   The Horror Geek   Mike Bracken 1/4 "Haunting of Connecticut doesn't have to worry about line-straddling, its crummy scares and laughable stabs at a faith-restored narrative granting it permanent residence in the realm of C-grade cheese."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "If you're a big fan of creaking floorboards, sudden jolts, and abandoned funeral homes full of furious spirits, you'll find enough to enjoy in this familiar-yet-engaging enough little thriller."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg 4/10 "Even though it's a local curiosity here in Connecticut, it's predictably hokey and formulaic."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 4/10 "Every individual element is either tremendously good or completely horrible, with virtually nothing left hanging in the middle ground of straight-up mediocrity."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 23) of 23 OFCS Rating: 22% Rotten Page   1
