Horror Film Gone Bad for Money November 17, 2009
Format:Amazon Instant Video
Never once have I watched a movie that was so poorly entwined with the true stories of the family that it happened to. You could tell the director and producers of this movie only made it for the money and not for the intention of spreading the TRUE story of the haunting in Connecticut!

Needless to say I spent the entire length of the movie yelling at the screen because I knew the real story. I yelled worse towards the end because the house NEVER caught on fire in the true story as well!

If you're into the horror movies that have their own tales then this is your movie, but if you want the real story brought to the screen this is NOT the movie you're looking for.

NONE of this movie was based on the true events other than the young boy being sick, and then they don't go into detail on how he was sick! The young boy really has cancer (which later after moving away from the house he recovered, went into remission, and later became cancer free). There is no story as to the boy living in the basement of the house with the dark figure man (who everyone called the devil) who was telling the boy to kill his family.

Long story short, watch the "A Haunting" on TV to try to catch the REAL story.

It has it's moments March 7, 2010
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
All in all, I can only say, not bad. But definitely not spectacular either. It does have several "boo" moments throughout the film and the acting is good. I deducted points when they turned the plot into some fight of the forces of good and evil and it's the main character's responsibility to tip the scales. I really, really dislike it when ghost stories do this. Fear operates better with the unknown randomness quality, and they are often very contrived leaving me with the idea that it was written in for the sake of making audiences feel better when they leave the theater. When will they learn that not all movies need a happy ending? Real life usually doesn't and it adds some fairy tale quality that I personally, think has no place in a horror movie.

I like horror movies, especially paranormal horror. I really enjoyed this flick, it was creepy without getting cheesy like some horror films.
