Inspired by the frightening true-life tale of a family that moved into a converted funeral home and subsequently fell under supernatural attack, director
Peter Cornwell's
The Haunting in Connecticut follows the quest of a desperate mother to free her family from the grip of an evil beyond human comprehension.
Sara (
Virginia Madsen) and
Peter Campbell (
Martin Donovan) have just moved to Connecticut with their young son,
Matt, when the young boy experiences a series of disturbing events that lead him to believe a malevolent force is attempting to take control of his family. Back when the home was still a funeral parlor, the original owner's clairvoyant assistant,
Jonah, served as a gateway for restless spirits seeking to cross over into the physical realm. When
Jonah returns to unleash a new kind of horror on the innocent family,
Sara enlists the aid of enigmatic priest
Popescu (
Elias Koteas) in driving the evil out before it consumes her son's body and soul. At first it appears that
Popescu has been successful in driving the spirits away, but then the terror becomes more intense than ever before.
