A really bad remake, for a bad movie...

A few lines get laughs, but the horror is standard fare, without a shred of innovation.

You'll want to get out of Amityville long before the Lutzes do.

This is a slightly better-than-expected remake of the 1979 film of the same name.

I would implore anyone who ever wrote it off as a soulless remake to dig a little deeper with a rewatch, because you might just be surprised at how great of a modern horror movie it truly is.

The problem with The Amityville Horror is that, in a very real sense, there's nothing there.

Never buy a house with a basement, and while you're at it, avoid old Dutch Colonials in which the previous occupants were murdered by an eldest son possessed by demons.

A remake of the 1979 film, The Amityville Horror tries for a clasic sense of creeping suspense, but is sadly inept.

Against the odds, the remake rivals the original for sheer mediocrity.

The Amityville Horror is a Xerox so tattered and faded that it's impossible to determine who's to blame for the overproduced mediocrity before our eyes.

Less frightening than just unpleasant.

Nothing gets in the way of the rote staging, the ham-handed predictability, the feeling that you've been to this house, and yawned at these ghosts, once too often.
