The Haunting in CT

So the much anticipated movie, "The Haunting in Connecticut" comes out today. Based on a true story in Southington, which is 10 minutes from me, the film is about a family that relocates to Connecticut to be closer to their son's cancer doctors. They soon find out the house used to be a former funeral home. The supposed house where the supernatural events has been all over the local news. It seems every interested movie-goer wishes to get a glimpse of the actual house. Residents of the house insist that the house is not haunted and just want people to stay off their property. I imagine the residents feel like the paporizzi has been at them since the film trailer debuted.

Here's a brief abstract of the story c/o WTNH.com

Southington (AP) - More than 20 years after it was reported to be haunted, a central Connecticut home is again seeing unwanted visitors.

A new movie, "A Haunting in Connecticut," opens Friday. It's loosely based on the stories revolving around the 3,000-square-foot former funeral parlor in Southington, and the family that lived there in the 1980s.

Curious fans are already showing up at the home.

The current owners say the house isn't haunted and they're trying to keep trespassers away. Police have added extra patrols to the neighborhood.

I will not being seeing the film because although I enjoy the occasional horror film, if it is terrifying, I will be too scared after by the plain fact that it's based on a true story. Yes, I am chicken haha! Also the previews and trailers I've seen remind me of other classics, like Psycho, Poltergist, and Amityville Horror. It seems horror films are running out of orginal material quickly.
