Film critic Roger Ebert said the film "is a technically proficient horror movie and well acted," though he gave the movie only two stars.
Particular credit went to the acting: primarily the performances of Gallner and Madsen. While the film was mainly criticized for its use of horror cliches and "jump" scare tactics, certain aspects of the film were praised by many critics. The site's consensus reads: "Though it features a few scares and some creepy atmosphere, The Haunting in Connecticut ultimately relies too much on familiar horror cliches to achieve its goals." Metacritic found the film had received "Generally unfavourable reviews", scoring 33 out of 100 based on 23 critic reviews. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes rated the film as "rotten", with a 17% approval rating based on 94 reviews and an average rating of 4.3/10. Now terror awaits when Jonah, the boy who communicated with the dead, returns to unleash horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family.
