I don’t think i’ve ever seen the original Amityville Horror. I do remember renting one of the sequels though. It was one of the later, crappier ones. The one with Julia Nickson Soul in it. And she showed her boobies in the movie! Ahh. Those were the days. When you could always count on horror flicks to have some T&A. Not like with the watered down PG-13 crap we get these days. Remember all those old Full Moon horror flicks? Puppet Master, Meridian, The Pit and the Pendulum, etc etc… they usually had lots of boobies in them. Mmm boobies. Whatever happened to that company anyway?
Anyhow the remake of the original comes out today. And it’s rated R! I hope it’s good. If it’s anywhere as good as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, then it’s all good in the neighborhood. Probably won’t have boobies though. But i’ll take a hard R horror movie (even without boobies) over a weaksauce PG-13 one.
Horror movies haven’t been all too good this year. The Ring Two sucked. Boogeyman was disappointing. White Noise started off good enough but had a terrible ending. I blame the PG-13 rating.
If the Amityville remake is good, i’ll probably go see it at the movies. Otherwise, it’ll just download it.
I really doubt that it’ll be that scary though. It takes a lot to actually get a real scare out of me. The only two horror flicks that i can honestly say totally scared the crap out of me was The Exorcist (the scene in the attic), Exorcist III (the scene in the hospital) and Audition (that whole movie was just plain disturbing).
I wonder if they’ll show people screaming and stuff (while watching the Amityville remake) on the DVD like they did with the TCM remake DVD. Pussies.
And speaking of pussies, apparently the Japanese are pussies as well.
Also, why is the Amityville remake billed as ‘based on a true story’? Didn’t they debunk it as being a hoax? Perhaps it should say ‘based on a true hoax’. Or perhaps not.
I am watching it tonight!
First.

Probably not, but my girlfriend most likely will. We haven’t even seen it yet, and she’s already afraid. She lose.

Yay Melissa George on the big screen. If you wanna see her boobies watch Dark City not to be confused with Carla Gugino’s boobies in Sin City either city you go watch you see boobies.

You should be glad you’ve never seen the original Amityville Horror. I’m willing to bet the sequel you saw was just as good if not better than the first one. If anything, it’ll be better than the original. One of the worst movies ever. Ooh, and Ryan Reynolds is HOT…and funny. I love him.

The film is based on a true crime, not the haunting. There was a young man who murdered his family while they slept in their beds. The additional aspects of the next family is not true, but I do believe that they moved out shortly after for personal reasons. Although living in a house that had a multiple homicide would probably give me the creeps, and I don’t believe in any of that ghost stuff.

Reading my post and realizing I made some errors. The reason why they can get away with calling it a true story is because there was a crime. The ghostly aspects of the next family is the urban legend part, and what the bulk of the movie is about.

yup. the first amityville (and the remake) is based on the lutz’s experience, which is widely thought to be a hoax. the second amityville movie however was sort of a prequel that was based on the actual murders that actually happened. so the original shouldnt be based on a true story when it’s apparently not.

The remake is really good. Ryan Reynolds sports a manly man’s beard. HOTT!
Seriously though, it was two hundred billion times better than the original was. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into horror movies. Especially if you were into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. It has that same kind of “familiar, but new” vibe to it, and gives the story a darker tone sorely missing from the original.

Movie was so bad it was good. Only chicks would dig it because they’d be scared be the only ones scared by it and because Double R was shirtless for half the movie.
