Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert So. A preposterous story, so many scares they threaten to grow monotonous, good acting and filmmaking credits and what else? Oh, what's with the ectoplasm? Didn't Houdini unmask that as a fraud? And didn't the Amazing Randi? And what's it doing still being treated as real in the true story? | 10 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson Matters culminate in a climactic sequence so brazenly schlocky the movie should be followed by an apology from Count Floyd. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs It's just more of the same old, same old haunted house style material, botched by ham-fisted direction, bad/uneven pacing, and far too many flashbacks to explain the genesis of all that goes bump in the night. | 6 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Though it features a few scares and some creepy atmosphere, The Haunting in Connecticut ultimately relies too much on familiar horror cliches to achieve its goals. | 4 | |
