[BD Review] Evan Calls ‘The Haunting In Connecticut 2: Ghosts Of Georgia’ Dull And Lifeless
Now on various VOD platforms is Lionsgate’s The Haunting In Connecticut 2: Ghosts Of Georgia, the sequel to The Haunting in Connecticut starring Emily Alyn Lind, Chad Michael Murray, Abigail Spencer, Katee Sackhoff and Cicely Tyson. When Andy Wyrick moves his wife Lisa and daughter Heidi to an historic home in Georgia, they quickly discover they are not the house’s only inhabitants.
“The film is clumsily paced and confused about its objective. It wants to scare you, but doesn’t want to upset you” says Dickson. “It wants the southern gothic air of legitimacy but can’t be bothered with the discipline required to evoke such a thing consistently.”
“It’s heart might be in the right place, but it runs out of gas miles and miles before it can get there,” he adds. “It’s a boring, ramshackle slog buoyed slightly by its likable lead performers.”

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
