Movie Review

THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT

Overall, this movie was average. The reason for the haunting had a good backstory (although I think they could have gone into the "body art" aspect of it a bit more), there were some decent "boo" moments, and frankly, I am an immediate fan of any movie that features Elias Koteas. He's not the best actor, but I like his style and he never fails to entertain.

Some key factors that stood out:

1. Eyelids (you'll see........)
2. Spooky photographs
3. Nice truck
4. The ax scene
5. Shadows
6. Ectoplasm (remember Ghostbusters?)

Some key factors that turned me off:

1. The religious aspect
2. Eyelids
3. Not enough Elias Koteas

Is it worth seeing in the theater? Yeah. Maybe for the price of a matinee.

On a side note, there was a middle aged couple sitting a few seats over, and they had a difficult time holding back certain bodily functions a couple times during the movie (from the mouth and down south). These sounds were coupled with their running commentary throughout the film, such as "Dumbass muthafucka, he gonna die" and "Now, why she not runnin? Run, woman, run!".

It was an interactive experience. Truly.
