The Haunting in Connecticut

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) is a horror film you can watch online on iFILM. The Campbell family rents an old Victorian house to be closer to the clinic where their teenage son is going through a grueling round of cancer treatment.

Money is tight, nerves are frayed, and the house starts to show its true nature. First come the noises and shifting shadows. Then Matt, already weakened by his illness, begins seeing things he shouldn't. The place, it turns out, was once a funeral parlor, and something happened inside those walls that the former owners chose to bury. Virginia Madsen plays a mother who refuses to believe in any of it until it reaches her child. Kyle Gallner is the son who becomes a doorway for whatever is locked in the building.

Director Peter Cornwell builds dread through silence and waiting rather than gore. The cast also includes Elias Koteas as an ailing priest and Amanda Crew. The story leans on a real-life ghost legend from Southington. Stream The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) online on iFILM.
