Spoiler for Haunting In Conneticut

The Haunting in Connecticut

 

The haunting in Connecticut is based on a true story about a boy with cancer that has to move to a new house with his family. The bodies have symbols and letters carved in and their eyelids also missing. The house is stranded away from main civilisation is the most obvious way to show there’s going to be something their. Only the boy with cancer sees what the past was in this house and starts to see things and have nightmares more often the more he sees the worse his condition gets. The boy becomes possessed exactly the same as the boy from the past family that lived there. The family try to help their son but he just retaliates and gets worse, and as he does the eldest sister starts to see things herself but thinks nothing of it. The lights and all electrics that night go haywire. Everything in the house goes berserk and the boy is critically ill. We see what happened to the boy in the past during a ritual. The boy is rushed to hospital but escapes back to the house with an axe trying to free the bodies buried in the house. He sets fire to everything so the boy from the past can leave his body. The mother runs in to try save him and firemen rescue them. The boy is dying. He sees the boy that possessed him before being brought back to life as a thank you.

 

This is a thriller because it includes suspense when he is starting to see the flashes of the past family and when he returns with the axe we think he is going to kill his own family. The dark and gloomy feel to the film creates a feeling of wonder and we ask questions as for the main part of the film we are unsure on what the real story is. The illness of the boy is worsened by the possession of the boy from the past trying to get him to release what has been done before.
