Haunting in Connecticut has no thrills, as opposed to most Horror stories it puts you to sleep rather than scare you into sleepless nights.
Top 5
1. The movie has great acting for a horror story as bad as this one, it ads a lot to the faulty logic.
2. While the overall story is faulted, the dialogue is good perhaps attributed as much to the good acting as to the screenplay.
3. The movie had an amazing trailer/promotional trailer.
4. The movie had great potential for good story lines (cancer, hallucinations, alcoholism, etc.) but it seems it purposely turned away from them when they approached
Bottom 5:
1. Its not scary: No one in the general story is killed or injured and the peek-a-boo thrills soon get tired.
2. There's holes in the stories galore: Why are they living with their uncles? Why had no one searched the house for bodies?
3. The 'ghosts' for 90+ % of the movie never attempt to harm the main characters.
4. The acting is underused almost putting it out of place and making the movie worst by having the unreasonably good acting.
5. When the back story is more interesting than the main story there's a problem. I would have enjoyed a movie on just the back story 100 times more.
