The Amityville Horror (Widescreen Special Edition) description Most horror movies establish an atmosphere of normalcy, which they gradually rupture with spooky or creepy or stomach-churning images. The Amityville Horror--a remake of the 1979 movie about a possessed house that torments the family that moves into it--tosses normalcy out the window in the first five minutes, unleashing a nonstop barrage of unsettling camera angles, decaying wood and stained wallpaper, half-glimpsed shadows in motion, fast edits of grotesque ghosts, and dozens of other horror-movie devices. Whether you like the movie will depend on whether you like feeling slightly nauseated and cut off from any semblance of reality--for many people, that's why they go to horror movies. Others won't be able to suspend disbelief that anyone but an actor would spend the time necessary to develop Ryan Reynold's insanely buff physique, prominently displayed as he runs around wearing nothing but a pair of loose-fitting pajama bottoms. In addition to Reynolds (Van Wilder, Blade: Trinity), the movie also features Philip Baker Hall (Magnolia) and Melissa George (Down With Love). --Bret Fetzer |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A remake worth 5 stars! |
| My friends and I are big horror buffs. We saw this film when it was released in the theatres and we all found it to be a successful remake of the original film. Although it was not an exact copy of the original movie, it added new twists and elements to the main storyline which were no where to be found in the series. Adding the whole Indian burial ground and Ketchem into the plot only added to the unsettling feeling derived from one of the most famous creepy houses. The film had many scares and new tactics to create fear in the audience. No where did this film come up short. If you only expected eye-candy as many of the reviewers obviously did... I can see how you could have been left disappointed. The originality and creativity shown by the writers and directors of the film far exceeded my expectations. I am sad I can only give this one five stars as it deserves more for its merit! | |
