The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia is basically underwhelming jump scares and tension, with a complicated yet predictable plot. It tells the tale of a family that moves into a haunted farmhouse; however, the motivation of the characters is not clear and the narrative is fragmented. With a liberal use of jump scares, the film feels shallow and per formula, especially on suspense and depth of theme.
