i just got back from the movie theater and man, do you have to see this movie!! its been a loooooooooong time since i literaly jumped out my seat while watching a horror movie and this movie made me do it a couple of times. you still reading? why aren't you getting ready to drive (or get driven) to the movies...?
I have the old vesion and it will just have to suffice.
I definitly wanna see it, I've been wanting to read the book for ages, but it's difficult to find (though I'm sure it wont be anymore).
i didn't know it was a remake but now that you mention it the movie does tend to make you feel as you were watching an old movie (old-fashoned GOOD horror).
I refuse to see anything with that woman in it.
Shallow of me I know, but Melissa George pisses me off.
I saw the add and vowed to see it. The story has always interested me greatly, especially during my "mind body spirit" obsession from last year and Ive always found horror addictive.
It got horrible reviews everywere i've read. Or that may have been another horror movie, theres so much at the moment. If the guy from van wilder is in it then it's supposed to be trash.
too bad. you're missing a great movie. rent the original, i guess.Quote:

whatever, dude. rent the original then (i'm guessing is great). here, found this: www.crimelibrary.com/classics3/amityville/
Ive seen the original and am not keen to see the remake because its meant to be crap and it has Ryan Reynolds in it.
Think that says it all
Don't trust the critics. If I did, I never would have seen my favorite movie of all time. Even if the critics dont like it, you might.
I trust critics. They make their living from reviewing movies, and if every
review they write goes against popular opinion (which is what it seems like
many people believe) then why would they have a job?
www.rottentomatoes.com gives a percentage of good/bad reviews from all
different sources. Amityville got like 27% good and looking quickly at the
good reviews, they're not all that great. "This movie will make you jump."
Wow. Now I must see this. If a director can create a bit of tenseness in
his/her movie and then at its climax shoot a light of some sort flashing
along with a loud sound, the sum of which will overload my senses and
cause a nervous twitch which everyone will confuse with actually being
scared, I sure as hell want to pay $9.50 to see it!

The movie doesn't seem so scary to you if you've passed by the actual house a few times.
I never said what they write goes against popular opinion. How I feel goes against popular opinion, hence why I think it's stupid to worry about what critics say. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas got terrible reviews, but if I'd listened to the critics and never seen it, I'd have missed what I feel is one of the greatest films of all time and probably never have gotten exposure to my favorite author of all time. They said terrible things about The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, but I went to the theatre five times to see it. Critics know bubkis in my opinion. If a movie looks good to you, see it. If not, dont.
