Good Movie with a Bad Title
27 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This was actually an entertaining supernatural movie. I do have one problem though, the name of it. Why would they even bother mentioning "Connecticut" in the title when all the paranormal action occurs in Georgia? It's not like it's a true sequel or really has anything to do with the first movie. In fact I believe if they had marketed this film simply under "Ghosts of Georgia" or maybe "Lost Souls of Georgia" it would've done remarkably better in the box office, especially if shown in theaters. Based loosely of a true story, the storyline follows the Wyrick family as they move into an old deep, backwoods property in Georgia. It turns out the land once served as a station for the Underground Railroad before the Civil War. The man who ran it was called the "Station Master", he was a taxidermist named Gordy. History saw him as a hero who helped escaped slaves. However Taxidermist Gordy had a darker truth about him. Flash forward to the present and the Wyricks' daughter, Heidi, begins to see visions of Taxidermist Gordy's great, grand son (we'll call "Mr. Gordy") who past away in the 1970's. Turns out Mr. Gordy held the note on the Wyrick's place till the bank got it in the 70's. Mr. Gordy continues to appear to Heidi telling her things, like where to find buried money in the yard and about certain dangers looming. Heidi's mom Lisa has trouble with her daughter seeing supernatural things which is kind of odd since Lisa herself is a cursed medium who constantly takes medication to deal with seeing grotesque paranormal visions everyday. Lisa's sister Joyce (Katee Sackhoff) later explains to Heidi that her ability to see extraordinary things is an inherited trait in her family. After that the movie pretty much takes off and the family goes through HELL!!! I won't give away anymore spoilers but leave it to say it's definitely worth a watch. They really ought to rename it though.
