To be honest, it really has nothing to do with the first one, and not that this is a problem since most DTV horror sequels are like this. It's clear that this was just a generic horror script and to give it a "chance" at finding an audience, they slap on the name of a successful horror film in order to fool people. This film has a really stupid title, considering where the film is actually set. In fact, this is lazy filmmaking, and the filmmakers clearly can't make something to really capture the viewer's interest, and the filmmakers rely too much on predictability and old ideas that makes this film pretty bad. This follow up is just boring and uninteresting, if you've seen the original, then skip this one as it never is anything truly engaging or memorable for that matter. I really don't know why they made a follow up, it was unnecessary as the first film was forgettable.

The film is just garbage, the sheer lack of creativity is apparent throughout, and overall it's a prime example of how not to make a horror sequel. Don't go into this film expecting anything great, it's a waste of time. Like Its predecessor, this film just doesn't have the goods to really be a great horror film. This film is awful, and it is a lacking film in terms of horror material, and it just threads old ideas that we've seen many times before. There is no effort put into this film, and it's a shame because like the first one, this film had the opportunity of being a very good film, instead it wastes its potential on cheap scares that don't work whatsoever.

The film lacks depth, and the scares are nonexistent. This is a forgettable film, one that has a poor cast of actors that really don't have any screen presence and seem bored in their parts. The ideas here are strained, and it's just another one of those films that was made to make more money, without any concern of creating something truly terrifying and atmospheric. Sequel to The Haunting in Connecticut is yet another unimpressive, bland sequel that doesn't add anything new to the first film.
