The Amityville Horror

Summary: Not a rip off!
Review: People have been trying to debunk this film for years, ever since it was called a "hoax." Listen none of us were there so none of us can say what happened. To the believer evidence of this is possible, but for the atheist and the skeptic, no evidence is possible. So let's get on with our lives and stop debating back and forth on whether it was real or not. As a movie The Amityville Horror isn't so good, but as a horror movie, it is good. I remember way back then, everone was scared in the theatre, and one person passed out. This is a geniunly scary movie. But it must be taken seriously. Watch it alone in the dark.

Summary: Shining Ripoff!
Review: Did Stephen King ever bring a lawsuit against the filmmakers of this stupid piece of garbage(maybe he felt it was not worth it)? This is a Shining ripoff!!A family man moves into an elegant home(not an elegant hotel in Colorado but hey they could not rip off the Shining in every detail), we know that some awful murders were committed in the home, the father begins to lose his mind(ALL WORK AND NO PLAY huh Jack?), he is good with an ax, one child has an imaginary friend(Tony I can hear you calling), and a third party is brought into the situation(in the form of priest Rod Steiger---Also a good Exorcist ripoff, oh Max Von Sydow where are you???). Do I need go on? My advice is to avoid this bore and rent or buy the Kubrick masterpiece that is THE SHINING(Which I gladly give 5 stars!!)

Summary: Great movie for its day!
Review: I just love this movie. Yes, it's campy. It's supposed to be. True, the special effects are a tad lame, but they were good for its day. Heck, it was 1979, and we've made a lot of technological advances since then. The flies were definitely creepy, George's slow descent into madenss was sublimely done, and the bleeding walls can't be beat, even today. So if you're in the mood for a slightly campy 70's flick, I highly recommend this one.

Summary: This movie still has highest possible scare-factor
Review: I love this movie. It is one of the all-time greatest haunted house movies ever made. It ranks right up there with "The Haunting" and "The Legend Of Hell House". James Brolin gives a great performance in this. This movie is great for a midnight movie. However, don't watch if you scare easily. A-

Summary: Amityvill Horror is right!
Review: This movie is stupid and dull. Not to mention laughable special effects. I have seen more done with less! I especially hated the way we had to fall back on the marrital relations yet again. And we had to look at that fuzzy faced man. Even the flies were silly! Didn't Rod Steiger have anything better to do that day!

Summary: Call Me Crazy, But I liked it!
Review: This movie is based on events that may or may not have really happened. I think some stuff here is true, but I'm sure some stuff is over-done for the case of being cinematic (walls bleeding, goo, pathway to Hell). ... I liked it. It had a very creepy musical score...and the acting was fairly OK, though some stuff didn't make sense. I mean, what was with that pig with red eyes that we see for half a second and then never again?

Summary: This Film Will Give You The Creeps. Very Well Made.
Review: This is the first time I have ever seen a double-sided DVD disc. One side is the Widescreen version, the other side is the standard version. The Amityville Horror film is loosely based on the real-life account of the son of the Ronald De Feo family who killed all six members of his family sleeping in the house in the middle of the night. His father and himself had a heated arguement prior. The book and the film highly fictionalized the supernatural happenings, however two people (one claimed psychic) who had entered the house after the tragic incidents had taken place had their own story to tell and no doubt other owners of the house as well. In any case, the book became a bestseller and the film was a hit. This film will give you the creeps. I suggest you watch it in the dark for extra goosebumps. James Brolin, Margot Kidder and Rod Steiger offer excellent performances. Don Stroud is also in this film. You might remember him from The Buddy Holly Story (1978) and License To Kill (1989). Natasha Ryan is one child you may recognize from Sybil (1976-TVM) and The Entity (1983). K.C. Martel and Meeno Peluce are also recognizable.

Summary: VERY SCARY!
Review: This is one of the scariest movies ever made. Right under The Exorcist, The Shining, and Rosemary's Baby! It is based on a true story, and is something that every horror fan should see. Watch it alone in the dark!

Summary: Amityville
Review: It's all a conspiracy! Okay so what if some people believe it to be false, but there are more believers than doubters. Me, I really don't care if the events of this film happened or not, it doesn't really make a difference to me, the fact of the matter is that this film tells the viewer to question themselves with questions like "What if this was you, what if this was your house, and your experience?" You have to put yourself into the people's shoes, and don't watch it with the "so what" atitude, but watch this movie with an open mind and take it seriously. The story has been changed by so many people, that we'll never know the truth about amityville, so let's just pretend that it did happen. Watch this one alone in the dark.

Summary: "GET OUT!"
Review: "GET OUT!" debunkers we don't care about your nonsense that you are trying to spread. Face it you're wrong! Watch this alone in the dark, and don't listen to the debunkers, they don't know anything about what they say, because they weren't there!
