Plot Summary: Charlie Bank's (Jesse Eisenberg) sheltered world at his Ivy League campus is shaken when Mick (Jason Ritter), an old acquaintance with a violent past, unexpectedly shows up at his dorm room. Intrigued by Charlie's privileged lifestyle, the charis- matic Mick quickly wins over Charlie's friends and his crush, Mary (Eva Amurri) as he seamlessly integrates himself into Charlie's life. Unnerved yet also in awe of Mick's easy charm, Charlie's unresolved feelings of jealousy, admiration and fear -as well as an unspoken secret between the two—^threatens to come to a head with ruinous consequences. 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: Virginia Madsen, Kyle Gallner, Martin Donovan, 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.
