SXSW Review: Lionsgate's 'The Haunting in Connecticut'
Thursday, March 19, 2009

Last night Bloody-Disgusting's Tim Anderson was among the first to see Lionsgate's The Haunting in Connecticut, which screened at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. "Despite the many pitfalls that the filmmakers stepped in, 'A Haunting in Connecticut' still comes off as a totally serviceable horror film. One that is deeply mired in traditions and struggling to find a distinct voice, but nonetheless an enjoyable way to kill a Friday night." Click the title above for the review and more info. Haunting arrives in theaters March 27.

Well...I'm looking forward to it. Might as well give it a chance! I like the shot of the tv in the trailer. :)

I can't wait to see this flick, I've read the book so many times and I used to live down the street from the actual house. The PG-13 rating doesn't bother me since it's a ghost flick and shouldn't really involve a lot of gore, sex or illegal drug use.
