Horribly dated and ineffective.
Normally I enjoy classic horror movies because of their inventiveness and their predisposition to be quite terrifying at times.

Characters/Acting: I adore Margot Kidder. She was such a prominent actress in the 70s. I swear Josh Brolin looks just ... read more

"Â At the very end of the 70s decade. It seemed as though the Amityville horror. was the biggest horror movie in cinema at the time. If there was one thing that the 1970's was starting, when it comes to scare-fare cinema, it that it was genre that breaking new ground in terms of storytelling and script-quality. Movies from earlier in the decade such as The Exorcist and The Omen were revealing just how much screamers on the silver screen had been elevated to the point of winning prestigious award"

LÀhtee melko hitaasti liikkelle ja hahmojen arkielÀmÀlle annetaan aikaa. Se tulee tarpeeseen, kun tuoreen avioparin dynamiikka muodostuu oleelliseksi pointiksi. Yliluonnollinen ja uskonnollinen höpöhöpö (Pastori Rod Steigerin ylinÀyttely ja kiukuttelu on huikeaa) kun alkaa, se vaan vetoaa "
"Plot: The Lutz family opts to move into a house with a recent history of murder to ease the financial stress, only to find out that there are worse things to worry about. Critically slammed and oft maligned, "The Amityville Horror" certainly deserves a better reputation than it has. Though it never reaches the heights of contemporaries like "The Exorcist" or "The Omen", it does manage to build a certain palpable atmosphere and credible tension that hurls one into a bleak and hopeless culminati"
"Amityville, New York A house located in Amityville, New York. The house is real, as is the town. The events as they take place in the film, are questionable at best. Why you wouldnât want to visit: Itâs a haunted house, that drives anyone who lives their mad. âGET OUT!â"
