Haunting tweaks familiar tropes enough to make them interesting. Just not so interesting as to inspire many nightmares after the credits roll.

Although it's reasonably well-acted and offers a few certifiable jolts, feels awfully familiar.
A technically proficient horror movie and well acted.
Long on atmosphere yet short on dramatic tension.
Smart enough to put much of its weight on Gallner, a lively presence with a terrifically sour mug that makes him look like a mutual cousin of Willem Dafoe and Peter Lorre.
Part of what makes "Connecticut" oddly watchable even as it drags is the oil-and-water mix of acting styles of the leads. Virginia Madsen's refined naturalism is an awkward fit with the sharp mannerisms of Martin Donovan.
Gives you the creeps, the giggles and the groans in almost equal measure.

Because when you think "fear," you think Connecticut.
