Haunting in Connecticut 2 trailer, poster, and pics.

I recently received a digital press kit for Lionsgate's sequel to "The Haunting in Connecticut" (which I skipped seeing because it didn't look all that great; plus I get annoyed when movies use the entire "Based on True Events" marketing ploy), entitled "The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia." Wait what? Do Georgian ghosts haunt a home in Connecticut? No? Then why the hell didn't you call this "The Haunting in Georgia?!" I guess the marketing team wanted "brand recognition?"

Here's the plot synopsis for A Not Haunting in Connecticut 2:

"A young family is tormented by the horrors of the past in THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT 2: GHOSTS OF GEORGIA, a chilling new film based on a true story from Lionsgate and Gold Circle Films.

Building on the terror of A Haunting in Connecticut, this horrifying tale traces a young family’s nightmarish descent into a centuries-old Southern hell. When Andy Wyrick (Chad Michael Murray, House of Wax) moves his wife Lisa (Abigail Spencer, TV’s “Mad Men”) and daughter Heidi to an historic home in Georgia, they quickly discover they are not the house’s only inhabitants. Joined by Lisa’s free-spirited sister, Joyce (Katee Sackhoff, TV’s “Battlestar Galactica”), the family soon comes face-to-face with a bone-chilling mystery born of a deranged desire…a haunting secret rising from underground and threatening to bring down anyone in its path."

I'm guessing that the true story portion of this supernatural tale of terror is probably that there was actually an underground railroad that allowed slaves to sneak their way safely to the Northern States. So technically the promotional materials aren't lying....

Also, Katee Sackhoff playing the "free-spirited sister" means she's probably a whore in this movie. Nerds who write sexy "Battlestar Galactica" fan-fic and fantasize about all the actresses on the show take note: You may see Starbuck's boobs! (Mind you, this is just my theory and has yet to be confirmed.)

Ok, yeah I'm probably being harsh here, so let's take a look at the trailer shall we?




Hmmm..... yeah looks like your typical supernatural direct-to-DVD fare. It doesn't look awful but I don't think I'll be going out of my way to scope it out. Unless, Sackhoff nudity is confrmed; then I'll rent it and fast forward through it.

I may not be psyched out this film's existence, but if the poster and trailer have caught your eye, then here's a few photos from the film to get you even more psyched. Enjoy!

"Do you know how fast you were driving ma'am?"

This is what happens when you give a Cenobite a BJ.

Not actually Christian Slater, but an incredible simulation.

The release date for this sequel is FEBRUARY 1ST! It'll be getting a limited theatrical run (LA, NY, maybe a few other larger cities) and will also be available on VOD services. In the meantime, why not give the previous entry a quick look? It's pretty cheap over at Amazon.com right now on both DVD and Blu-ray, but if you don't want to buy it, why not give it a digital rental?
