Pour faire des économies, Sara et Peter Campbell décident de s'installer plus près de l'hôpital où Matt, leur fils adolescent atteint d'un cancer, participe à un traitement expérimental. Dès les premiers jours dans la vieille demeure qu'ils ont louée, ce dernier est victime d'hallucinations effrayantes. Les Campbell apprennent bientôt qu'ils se sont installés dans un ancien salon funéraire dont le propriétaire conduisait des séances de spiritisme. Tandis que le nombre de manifestations va croissant, la santé de Matt décline. Désemparé, l'adolescent prend contact avec le révérend Popescu... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

Not nearly as bad as I expected and quite a pleasant surprise when compared with the recent and ostentatiously stupid Unborn. The story, of course, is one massive cliché, but I still liked it. The arc with the sick boy helps quite a lot, preventing the film from being as generic as other ghost stories. On the other hand, the film takes itself very seriously, which hurts it in some passages – a bit of a B-movie approach wouldn’t have hurt (but given that the hero is dying of cancer, the creators probably didn’t have balls for that). Average, watchable.

"The Horror in Connecticut" is definitely not a completely bad horror movie, which surprised me quite a bit because I was expecting something worse. But this is a film that has a frantic pace, especially in the way horror images are portrayed here. And there are indeed plenty of them. From those that are relatively realistic, to some ectoplasms that swirl through the air. The writing on the body is truly disgusting.
