Frank's Thoughts: Even though most of these actors I never heard of, this movie really soimds interesting. The fact that it also takes place in the 1980's will add to that fact. I suggest it as a watch. The Haunting in Connecticut Release Date: March 27, 2009 Director: Peter ComweU Starring: , Kyle Gallner, , Elias Koteas, and Amanda Crew.

Frank's Thoughts: As a hon or I would watch this movie, but since again I do not know most of the actors it will have to be something to think about. After seeing tlie trailer I would suggest you watch this movie if you ai e a diehard horror fan like me. oeanflomaMMvcf Moustcrs VS. Alicns Release Date: March 27, 2009
