I hope that people who see The Haunting In Connecticut aren't put off from buying home just because it was a funeral parlor at one time. In fact back in the day it was common enough for undertakers to live on the premises. Of course not all of them were involved in all the occult stuff that the former owner of this place where the Campbell family has moved into.
Virginia Madsen, Martin Donovan and their kids have purchased an old funeral parlor in Connecticut and are moving there. Moving there because their oldest son Kyle Gallner is undergoing cancer treatments. That's bad enough, but Gallner is also psychic and when they move into their new home he starts seeing all kinds of apparitions and manifesting some truly frightful things.
The former owner of the funeral home used the dead and also used an adolescent kid who was also psychic as a medium and that kid who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It's quite a story when all is revealed.
Young Gallner carries this film, he gives a winning and sincere performance of a kid just not in control of all that's around him. There's another good performance by a minister played by Elias Koteas who has some idea of what's going on, but he too makes an almost fatal error for the Campbell family.
I'm not usually drawn to these films, but The Haunting In Connecticut is not a bad one for this genre.
