Above-Average for a Direct-to-VOD Horror Movie Sequel to an Average Horror Movie
Claiming to be based on a true story, “The Haunting in Connecticut 2” follows a young family who have just moved into a new home in Georgia. Not long after their arrival, the daughter, Heidi (Emily Alyn Lind) begins to see people in and around their home. One ghost who seems to be extremely menacing is Mr. Gordy, who is discovered to be the last inhabitant of the home. The family also learns that their house was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. The station-master who lived there saved the lives of many slaves, but was discovered and killed. As the ghosts become more threatening and begin getting physical, it is only a matter of time before Heidi is hurt, or even killed.This film can be described in four simple words. Dumb title, good movie. I had extremely low expectations for “Ghosts of Georgia”. Direct-to-VOD horror movie sequels are usually pretty bad as it is, but with a first time director, I definitely didn’t expect much. Luckily I can say that I was very pleasantly surprised. By no means is this a great movie, but it is certainly enjoyable.
The plot is actually pretty original and very creepy. The most impressive part is the fantastic back-story. I loved the way it used a part of American history to serve as the back-story. The flashback scenes were pretty well-done, but the non-stop camera cuts got old after a while.
The acting is pretty impressive given the type of movie. Abigail Spencer’s character is very annoying, but her acting is pretty good. Chad Michael Murray was… well he was Chad Michael Murray. Katee Sackhoff definitely brought a lot to the movie. She was a comic-relief, but was also very serious when needed.
However, the most impressive performance was by Emily Alyn Lind, who played Heidi. Just like Megan Charpentier in “Mama”, Lind carries “Ghosts of Georgia”. It is important to have a good child actor, especially when they are on screen almost the entire time, and Lind doesn’t disappoint. She really effectively conveys how terrified she is, without going over the top.
Director Tom Elkins does a pretty solid directing job, especially for his first film. While the direction is a little rough around the edges, he did a better job than most would. For the most part, Elkins managed to keep a high level of suspense. Unfortunately most of the jump scares were aided by sudden bursts of music. Plus the constant switching from black and white to color at the end got annoying and nauseating very quickly.
Overall, “The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia” was an above-average horror sequel, with many exciting twists and turns. The movie managed to keep my attention the whole time, and I would’ve watched it for another hour. It’s not a great movie, but it’s fun, and that’s all I care about. I will be looking forward to a sequel, especially if David Coggeshall comes back as the writer.

The Wyrick story as reported on Unsolved Mysteries and A Haunting is much better than this garbage. AVOID.
I have been a big fan of the Wyrick story ever since I first saw the Unsolved Mysteries episode with them back in the mid nineties. Who wouldn’t love a story about a little girl that sees ghosts? I loved the story because it in and of itself was scary. Mr. Gordy, Khan (Lon), The faceless hooded figure were all creepy and made for an entertaining story. Then when A Haunting did their movie about the family in the early 00’s I loved finding out more about the story. Jordan talking to little girl ghosts, Heidi continuing to see the hooded figure, the terror they felt was all compelling. This iteration of the story is just nonsensical, nothing from what I have heard, read, or seen about the family and their trials had ANYTHING to do with the underground railroad. Even the interview I heard with them on Darkness on the Edge of Town made no mention of the events in this film. It is 90% fiction and the scares they try to sell you are cheap in comparison to what you could get if you watched the Haunting film on the same topic. This is just another case of Hollywood making a movie and fictionalizing a reportedly true story, watering it down or altering it so it bears no resemblance to the one that the fans (like me) sincerely love. Just like The Haunting in Connecticut I found this to be almost laughable.
