The Haunting in Connecticut (Blu Ray) (2009) - 7/10

When you get these movies based on real life events, it always feels like they're trying to hard to keep the realism without giving the audience enough suspense to feel entertained. The Haunting in Connecticut is an alright horror movie that has some cool make-up effects and interesting ideas of battling cancer but in the end strays too far from fantasy and instead becomes something that tries to scare you for pretending it happened. I don't deny that there are supernatural elements in the world but this exorcims and possessions seem a little far fetched. In the end, this movie is worth checking out at night but doesn't bring anything new to the table and instead tries to make you care for the health of the boy rather than worry about the actual demons. Could have been better.
