The Haunting In Connecticut
I saw this movie this weekend. I wanted to be scared … really scared. I wanted to walk away from the theater and be afraid of the dark. That night in my house I slept fine.
It is the story of a family who moves to CT so their cancer ridden son could undergo a new treatment. The treatment did nothing. But he did meet a cancer ridden priest who helped clear some of the house with an iron magnet cross. After he says he is done and all will be well he realizes that he cleared the house of the thing that was holding all the bad stuff at bay (some dead medium boy) and calls back while things are going to hell.
Sounds pretty ass, right. Well, I did enjoy some of it. I especially was hoping that the kid would have been burned to death at the end of the story. Unfortunately all people survive and sick kid has no signs of cancer.
Oh, yea, the seance scenes were actually the saving grace of this movie. Some of the photos they used looked like pictures I have seen in the past on this subject. And some medium kid (the dead one) belches ectoplasm like a champ. This movie is almost worth seeing for this. Plus there are a ton of bodies that fall out of the walls. Bodies falling out of walls is fun.
I guess the moral of the story is if you have cancer find yourself a few demons, fight them and you should be cured of your ailment. I recommend either downloading this film or borrowing it from a friend when it comes out on video.
