Agreed, this is a worse remake then The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (done by the same guy).

However, if you like images of sensationalist horror, you will certainly like this movie.

never said it was good

It was alright, not bad, not good.

I loved the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. Better than the original, if you ask me.

just another mediocre hollywood horror film which has failed to make me jump

I should go visit it next weekend. The house is a few exits away on the LIE.

Yes, I saw this on ogrish. It has real crime scene photos but it didn't seem that bad.

Taken from imdb.com:

quote:
On November 14th, 1974, police recieved a frantic phone call that led them to the DeFeo residence, where they made a grisly discovery- 6 bodies, the entire DeFeo family, all slaughtered with a .35 caliber as they slept calmly in their beds. Ronald DeFeo confessed to methodically murdering his parents and four siblings, and claimed it was the "voices" that told him to do it. One year later, on December 18, 1975, George and Kathy Lutz along with their three children moved into the house, thinking it was going to be their dream home. Especially if their dreams were nightmares. The Lutz family only lasted twenty eight days in their home after they were terrorized by a demonic force that drove them away. Based on the true story of George and Kathy Lutz, The Amityville Horror remains one of the most horrifying haunted house stories ever told - because it actually happened.

it was pretty good, i saw it on friday.

i also rented Wicker Park over the weekend, thinking it was like some suspense thriller, but it was more of a quirky chick flick...like a good chick flick...sorta like Lost in Translation. anyway, has anyone seen it? it's like one of my favorite movies now. i loved it.

i haven't seen this yet but i didn't think TCM remake was that bad compared to the original after seeing it i watched the original and it was a rather clumsy low budget affair

i thought the new one wasn't neccesarily a great film, but the scenes in the basment etc i thought were really well designed. it made me think what kind of movie silent hill could make

yea i actually really enjoyed Wicker Park. thot it'd be some cheezy romantic movie (although it has bits of that in there) but it turned out to be quite a strong and deep movie. nicely cinemetagrophy at times and i enjoyed that it was filmed in that weird 'memento'-reverse kinda way.

as for the amityville horror...i haven't seen it. but...(and i hope i'm not disillusioning anyone here), but read this article on more of the background story.

i agree with everything u said.

i saw the original amityville a few months ago cuz my bf rented it and it was scary, but like u said it was very low budget and just sort of OK. i wasn't that impressed. but the remake had great effects and definitely made it a scary movie, but i've still seen better.
