Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

First saw this on TV when I was 10 years old & by Christ it scared the living sh*t out of me! So much so, I didn't sleep for an entire night because of it!I then didn't watch it after a while until it came back on TV again. Though I was older, it still scared me! And even now as I'm currently writing this review I find it to be one of the best A Haunting Documentaries I've seen! Unlike the actual TV Series under the same name (sort of), this one has a good grip on you til the end, & even after the credits roll, it never seems to leave you, it's that sinister & chilling!The story is about a family who move from New York to up state Connecticut to treat their son who has cancer so he can be closer to the hospital treating him. The find a house thinking it's the perfect home & so much so can't believe how good it is until... they find the basement which holds clues to the homes past as it being a funeral parlour. But the worst is yet to come as the find it's haunted by demonic spirits who once ran the home as a morchery.The story is based off true events, though names & such were changed. I saw A Haunting in Georgia before this & thought it was pretty creepy, though when this came on straight after, terror hit me! Most notably, the shower scene is one of the most terrifying things I'd ever seen in my life, it still gives me the chills of fear! But the demon & everything else were also pretty scary. The music & narration really added to the film also & gave it a unnerving & spooky undertone! I overall thought this was a terrifying Documentary/Film. I'd give this a 9/10 as it truly was & still is, one of the most chilling & scariest Documentary's ever made!

I seen this back a few years ago on TV. I got hooked just by the things that were happening, like the blood on the floor as she mopped. That ghost with the black eyes in the girls room was creepy but that didn't compare to that demon with the red eyes standing on the stairs! That freaked me out so bad. I kept seeing that image in my head when I closed my eyes, I had a hard time sleeping that night. I bought the DVD thinking it was the movie, cause I heard they made a movie out of it, and when I put it on I seen it was that same documentary with that demon that scared the crap outta me. when the part came I looked away. I couldn't see that image again!

this 2002feature length documentary is one scary offering.i haven't seen the 2009 film version yet,so i can't compare the two,but this documentary was sure well done,in my opinion.in the chills department,it rates almost off the charts.there were a few scenes where my blood ran cold.the narrator(who also does the narration for the F.B.I. Files)has the perfect voice for this kind of program.a word of warning.if you watch this late at night,you may have trouble sleeping,as it's much more terrifying than most horror movies,due to a much higher degree of realism,in terms how it looks and how it's shot.that's just my opinion,of course.for me,A Haunting in Connecticut is a 9/10

I watched this for the first time around Christmas of last year with my wife.And we could barely sleep after wards.We had to watch something funny to make ourselves forget about it.What makes me so scared of this is that I have experienced things that I to this day cannot explain or even really care to remember.Please do not think I'm nuts but here are a few of the things I've experienced that made me think a little more seriously about a spirit world.1. A week or two after my wife's grandfather died a few years ago, my nine year old daughter tells me that she saw her great-grandfather in a navy blue suit and red tie in her bedroom. HE was buried in a navy blue suit and red tie and she did not attend his funeral.2. My son who's only three recognized my deceased mother's photo (died four years BEFORE he was born)as his grandmother long before I ever told him this. He'd look at the photo and saw 'granma'.Gave me and my wife the willies.3. As a kid I remember hearing rumors that the apartment complex I lived in was built on an old graveyard. I used to discard this as my friends trying to scare me, until one night in my bedroom I saw a figure walk into my room, it was totally black so I couldn't make out any features, I was half sleep and simply assumed it to be my mother looking in on me, the figure walked back out into the dark hall and I went back to sleep, thinking nothing of it.The next morning I asked my mother had she come in and peeked in on my that night ad she told me she never got out of bed.I don't really think the presence was malevolent, because I didn't feel any fear, in fact I felt protected, which is why I guess I thought it was my mom. It was like whatever it was it was simply checking on me in the middle of the night.4. As a kid in the same house, me and a pal of mine were playing video games when a tile from the bath tub flew out into the hallway. We were home alone. And I would have thought it the tile had just fallen it would have fallen into the bath tub. It was as if it were thrown.5. And perhaps the most chilling account, was once when my mother and her boyfriend at the time(who would eventually become my stepfather) had gotten to arguing and when she tried to prevent him from leaving he happened to shove her to the side. Well later that night, after they made up, he told her that at that moment he felt as if someone grabbed him by the neck. I did not witness this, but my mother did say he leave coughing and gagging. Even remembering these things and writing them runs a chill up my spine.So I truly believe in the paranormal and spirits.Watching this documentary only fueled my belief.The man with the red eyes was the most frightening thing I'd ever seen on television.If I woke up and saw something like that looking at me, I'd pee all over myself.My experiences were mild and in most cases seemed benevolent and just playing light hearted jokes (the tile), but I couldn't imagine facing something this evil.
