The Haunting in Connecticut

The Haunting in Connecticut is a 2009 supernatural horror film directed by Peter Cornwell in his feature directorial debut, and starring Virginia Madsen, Kyle Gallner, Martin Donovan, Amanda Crew, and Elias Koteas. The film follows a family who, to help mitigate the strains of travel on their cancer-stricken son, move into a former funeral home with a dark history. It is based on the alleged supernatural experiences of Carmen Snedeker and her family while residing in a former funeral home in Southington, Connecticut in the late 1980s. The Snedeker family's experiences were documented by writer Ray Garton in In a Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting (1992), though Garton later publicly distanced himself from the accuracy of the events he depicted in the book.
