		The Amityville Horror is the title of a best-selling book by the author Jay Anson which was published in 1977.
		The Amityville Curse from 1990 is the most loosely based of all the films, since it deals with events in another haunted house in Amityville, Long Island rather than the house in Ocean Avenue.
		George Lutz described the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror as "drivel" and was suing the makers for defamation, libel, and breach of contract at the time of his death.

	DVD Review - The Amityville Horror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		During a period when horror films made the transition from rather atmospheric eerie films to becoming the gratuitous splatter films they are today, a surprisingly understated creepy film made its appearance.
		MGM Home Entertainment is presenting "The Amityville Horror" in a widescreen presentation as well as a fullscreen presentation on this disc, but sadly neither is without its flaws.
		The widescreen transfer is sadly not anamorphic, and the fullscreen transfer is a pan and scan version that crops the mage on both sides.

	The Amityville Horror - ComingSoon.net Movie Reviews
		A remake of the 1979 film, based on the book of the same name about the Lutz family's real life experience at the strange house in Amityville, New York, The Amityville Horror tries for a classic sense of creeping suspense and horror, but is sadly inept.
		The Amityville Horror is a well put together film, but it's ultimately a waste because it's just not scary.
		The Amityville Horror is rated R for violence, disturbing images, language, brief sexuality and drug use.

	"The Amityville Horror" - Salon
		But after that, "The Amityville Horror" -- a remake of the dopey 1979 picture, which was based on Jay Anson's bestselling novel, which was in turn based on the not-so-true story of a supposedly haunted Long Island house -- begins its relentless clubbing.
		And while it's a horror trope to endanger the family pet (and sometimes to kill it off), when animals are killed in movies, they're almost always stand-ins for children.
		But even if "The Amityville Horror" will be completely forgotten in a year's time, I think, as part of the cycle of carelessly but often expensively made pictures that Hollywood studios are increasingly putting before us, it's still significant.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Amityville Horror
		Watching The Amityville Horror today, some twenty years after it was first released, we have to wonder why this movie was so popular, and even why it was made.
		Amityville is a haunted house story without, unfortunately, much in the way of a story.
		The reason The Amityville Horror made any money at all is that it was based on events that "really happened." As you might expect, it was a bunch of hooey.

	The Amityville Horror
		Amityville is considered one of the most controversial cases today but most of the world's most notorious one's turn into horror stories, by individuals that do not understand the realm of the supernatural or it's workings.
		But I find it very interesting that so many people have their opinions on the Amityville case and they also were not in the home or had any part of the original investigation.
		Kaplan was never even inside of the Amityville house (except to attend a party--not as part of an investigation), despite his claims to the contrary.

	Amityville: Horror or Hoax?
		The horrific carnage that prefaced the story of the "Amityville Horror" began one dark fall night in November 1974.
		As the story of the "Amityville Horror" became an international sensation, Kaplan was at work collecting evidence and materials about the house and the claims made by the Lutz family, Jay Anson, the Warrens and the media.
		Although convinced of the validity of the paranormal and supernatural activity, Kaplan was not convinced of the truth behind the Amityville case.

	Amityville Horror
		Carrying on the resurgence of remake horror that hit the big-time with the "Dawn of the Dead" redo, the producers of the "Texas Chainsaw" remake (mainly Michael Bay and friends) redid the original "Amityville" for both MGM and Dimension Films.
		Reynolds, fresh off his role as a funny vampire hunter in "Blade Trinity," is convincing as George Lutz, the stepfather who goes nuts after he and his family move into the Amityville horror, scene of a multiple homicide a few years earlier.
		The remake makes up for the slack, simply by showing us the ghosts that were invisible in the original -- mostly a little girl who was murdered a few years earlier and likes having fingers put into the hole in her decomposing head.

		I saw "The Amityville Horror" in a theater when it first came out back in '79, and it scared me like few other films had before it.
		Well this movie, "The Amityville Horror," chronicles the 28 days of terror the Lutz family supposedly endured in their new Long Island home.
		Yet in my opinion, the actual events of the Amityville house are much creepier than ANY of the fictitious Amityville movies- -so I suggest buying the book titled, "The Amityville Horror Conspiracy," or even the novel, "The Night the DeFeos Died." Afterall, truth is almost always better than fiction.

	The Real Amityville Horror: The Tragic Murder of the Ronald De Feo Family
		As Dr. Kaplan recalled in his account of the incident, “The Amityville Horror Conspiracy”, this initial conversation immediately began to arouse his suspicions as to the validity of George’s claim that the house was haunted by demons and all variety of evil spirits.
		In the end, this tale of horror and demonic possession was debunked by the Catholic Diocese of Rockville Center, the Amityville Police Department, William Weber (Butch DeFeo’s defense attorney), U.S. District Court Judge Jack Weinstein, and even George and Kathy Lutz, who ended up recanting certain parts of the tale.
		This entire fabrication detracted from what was in fact the true horror of Amityville, the cold-blooded murder of six innocent people by one of their own family members.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Amityville Horror (1979)
		The film isn't edited for the MTV generation--that is, its pace has more in common with Robert Wise's The Haunting (although it isn't quite the stinker that that film is) than Evil Dead.
		Either way, at its best The Amityville Horror is pretty creepy, whether we have to watch out for spirits with glowing red eyes popping up when we least expect them or hope that George keeps his cool while he's holding that axe.
		This film is definitely worth a look by horror fans, but just don't expect it to come without dings, scratches and in need of a new paint job.

		"Amityville" has the added lure of purporting to be based on a true story -- that of George and Kathy Lutz, who moved into a bargain-priced Dutch Colonial house on the shores of Long Island, only to flee one month later, claiming their home was festooned with demons and other sinister forces.
		Although the Lutzes' claims were subsequently debunked as a crass attempt to exploit the brutal sextuple murder that had occurred in the house, the Amityville legend has proven an enduring pop-culture myth.
		In fairness, the original "Amityville Horror" (directed by Stuart Rosenberg) was far from a genre classic, and the remake actually improves upon it in certain respects.

		Het op ware gebeurtenissen gebaseerde The Amityville Horror is een psychologische horrorfilm.

		Hoewel The Amityville Horror daarin minder goed slaagt dan The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is deze film nog altijd eng genoeg om je een heel dozijn ironische horrorfilms van het afgelopen decennium te doen vergeten.
