About

If you like haunted-house suspense with a family-centered emotional core, The Haunting in Connecticut should fit the bill; Not for you if you dislike jump-scares, predictable paranormal tropes, or if you want a more faithful “based on true events” adaptation like The Exorcism of Emily Rose or Insidious.

Pros: tense haunted-house mood; strong family drama; decent suspense | Cons: clichés and predictability; scare power fades; confusing late-story
