Critic Reviews

• Scott Foundas, Village Voice

  The rotting corpses, projectile insect vomit, and creepy geezers in black arrive pretty much on cue, as does the great Cicely Tyson as the obligatory old blind woman who "sees" more than most people with two good eyes.

• Nick Schager, Time Out New York

  Ultimately nothing more than a decrepit vehicle for the moldiest of scary-movie clichés: screechy specters, inane character behavior and jump scares that a toddler could anticipate minutes ahead of time.

• Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

  Some decent scares are provided in this refreshingly low-key ghost story.

• Joe Leydon, Variety

  This sequel in name only is a superior pic in almost every possible way, and deserves better than the half-hearted dump -- limited theatrical exposure day-and-date with VOD release -- it's been given by Lionsgate.

• William Goss, Film.com

  Well-worn hokum.

• Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

  The filmmakers trot out slavery as a general sins-of-the-past signifier and then have no idea what to really do with such a painful real-world issue.

• Phil Villarreal, COEDMagazine.com

  With such a ridiculous title, I was all prepared to make fun of the ridiculousness the movie surely contained, but I was pleasantly surprised by the surprisingly creepy and robust scare-fest.

• Dave White, Movies.com

  Much like Toni Morrison's acclaimed novel Beloved, this horror film explores the legacy of slavery and -- just kidding.

• Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central

  The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia is a good time killer and perfect for a rainy day inside

• Matt Donato, We Got This Covered

  The Haunting In Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia is just as tired a haunting film as its predecessor, failing to signify itself as a uniquely entertaining horror experience.

• Brian Orndorf, Blu-ray.com

  I'm not sure why the producers even bothered to dramatize the story if they weren't going to keep tight on the details, but I suppose there are greater mysteries in play here. Top of that list: What happened to Connecticut?

• Shaun Munro, What Culture

  Credibly acted and hardly much worse than the original, but just as bereft of atmosphere and by-the-numbers.

• Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue.com

  Besides having one of the worst titles in recent memory, this formulaic horror flick doesn't have much originality to boot.

• Scott Weinberg, FEARnet

  An hour of miscellaneous visions that will make more sense once Act II lurches to a close and we finally get to the good stuff.
