The Haunting in Connecticut operates like someone leaning in behind you and yelling. At first, it makes you jump. The 200th time, it's just annoying.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Haunting suffers for its need to be sold as a straight-up horror film, and the fact it has been seemingly retrofitted as such.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

Connecticut: not very haunty.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Eventually the whole thing ends as these B-movies usually do -- with false denouements, sudden conflagrations and forced happy endings that leave the audience groaning and prematurely grabbing for their coats.
