Charts one family's encounter with the dark forces of the supernatural. When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner's clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover. Now terror awaits when Jonah, the boy who communicated with the dead, returns to unleash horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family.Written by

Matt Campbell:
One bright day in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and came and killed those two dead boys.

The supernatural appearances are mainly in monochrome but colored in the unrated version. Many things can only be recognized in single frame mode or while watching entirely close. See more »
This movie was a great Hollywood story. However the movie killed the true story of what happened. A Haunting on Discovery ran an episode called "A Haunting in Connticut."(notice thediffernce in the titles) The movie "The Haunting in Conneticut" completely distorted the true story. It was worth the money to go see and definitely made me jump a couple times. I would recommend You Tubeing the story after you've seen the movie to better understand what really happened. I believe every one looking for a REAL scary story, would really enjoy this. Definitely worth the money to see in theaters as long as you know the true story. This is the link to get the more accurate version.I truly hope this doesn't get me banned but take out the spaces and this is the link to the true story. ENJOY:) "http:// maineghosts.lefora. com/2009/03 /04/a-haunting-in- conneticut-discovery -channel-release /page1/"
