Watch The Amityville Horror For Free

Great Film overall

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Admirable film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Better than the first film but still forgettable. The acting and drama is pretty dull. There are some really good scary moments when things jump out at you but nothing lasting. There were some interesting ideas and violence. This film is just lacking compared to Poltergeist (1982) and other haunted house movies. It updated the original but still an outdated haunted house fable.

I was expecting far worse but it was way better than I first thought the acting was OK but not great but it is horror so can be forgiven, the effects were good the build up also I did like the fact that it was a period piece that is always a good move for these types of movies, the ending was a little quick for me but still OK but worth a watch.

I am, as it were, a horror nut and I can thoroughly recommend this film. After seeing the previous Amityville Horrors I wasn't sure how this one would rate as the first one appeared to be true strictly based on the true story and therefore un-scary, and the others were stupidly unbelievable. This film tops them in shocking horror whilst trying to stick to a semi-realistic storyline. It also goes more into the reason why the house is as haunted as it seems. Without giving too much away this film has several very frightening bits which surpass many horrors of modern times. The lingering image of the little girl and the daemonic faces which haunt the family are a great touch. The ending is good but seems to leave you wondering what happens afterwards. This may not hold greatly to the true story but it is a fantastic supernatural thriller. A must see for any horror lovers.

The 2005 version of The Amittyville Horror was overall disappointing and week. Ryan Reynolds was a BAD choice for the lead, yes he may have a nice body with abs, but that doesn't make him right for this type of lead in this particular film. The acting was bad and wooden from all the actors. The child actors actually did a pretty good job, just not the adult actors. The action was bad and rather stupid. This movie was NOT scary at all, and the jump scares were predictable and very cliché. The movie had potential to be so much better, but it ultimately wasted it's potential. 2/10 for The Amittyville Horror (2005). I apologize for not being able to compare it the 1979 version of the the film, due to the fact that I have not yet seen it, but if it is anything like this, then I don't think I want to see it.
