Halloween Horror Movie Countdown Reviews: Day 10 - The Haunting in Conneticut.

Day 10: The Haunting in Conneticut. (Original + Sequel)
                                        
The Plot: The Haunting in Conneticut is a movie directed by Peter Cornwell. Starring: Virginia Madsen as Sara. Kyle Gallner (One of my personal favourite actors) as Matt. Martin Donovan as Peter. Amanda Crew as Wendy. The movie is based off a true story. It's a movie about a family being forced to move to a new home due to their son's health. As soon as they are there, weird stuff starts to happen. Flashbacks + Paranormal Activity. And it ends up being that the house was a former Mortuary, that has a sadistic past... The Sequel had nothing to do with the original and went it's own way. with 'Ghosts of Georgia'. Starring: Abigail Spencer as Lisa. Chad Micahel Murray (One of my favourite actors) as Andy. Katee Sackhoff as Joyce. Emily Alyn Lind as Heidi. A family moves into a new house isolated from the rest of the world. And soon Heidi starts noticing unexplainable things, like an old man talking to her who actually died many many years ago. As the film progresses they find out they are actually living on the ground of the Station Master. A guy who used to lock slaves up in the cellar back when the slavery was in progress. The slaves thought it was a Safe Haven but it was a sadistic man who kept them captive. Soon the spirit of the station master gets disturbed and wants to kill the Wyrick family.

Personal Review: I personally love the original alot more mainly cause the story was so good, and it really messed with your head, to a point you felt so disturbed that you were tempted to just turn it off. And I also love it cause it has one of my favourite actors Kyle Gallner who also played Quentin in Nightmare on Elm Street Remake. The sequel on the other hand, I didnt like so much. The story was good and it had potential. But, I wasn't satisfied by the ending as it was kind of a lame and to 'happy endish' (if thats even a word) but whatever you know what I mean. Overall they are good films that I would rewatch anyday.

Soon I will write a 1 by 1 review about both of the films and give a bit more detail plus a personal rating. Thanks for visiting my page, tomorrow Day 11 will be up with...... you'll find that out tomorrow :-D.
