	The Amityville Horror (2005) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		The Amityville Horror is a sloppy, incoherent slice of so-called terror that shamelessly borrows from The Sixth Sense and The Shining, but is unable to generate the drama of the first or the ominous sense of foreboding of the latter.
		This Amityville Horror has very few scares to speak of, but it’s the clumsy direction and writing that really had me dumbfounded.
		The Amityville Horror is rated R which is refreshing given the current trend of PG-13 rated horror films, but an R rating does not a great scary picture make.

	The Amityville Horror (2005)
		The new Amityville Horror is one of the scariest movies of the past few years, and it features Ryan Reynolds, still buff from Blade: Trinity, running around shirtless through most of the film.
		Amityville 2005 isn't a remake in that sense; it's a reconstruction.
		From supposed television footage after the original massacre to film-look home movie transitions and the sepia tones throughout, to the impeccable costumes, hairstyles and props—rotary phones, flip-number clock radios, microfilm machines, and vintage cars—this movie is more retro-creepy than just-plain creepy.

	THE AMITYVILLE HORROR movie review
		In movie world, buying houses were people died is always a bad idea, but in the real world people are always moving into houses and apartments where someone died.
		2005 touches on subjects and family dynamics that the original never bothered with, and is lush with horrific moments that aren't overwrought with CGI special effects.
		Some of the Amityville Horror is true and the folks involved with it continue to fight over it to this very day.

		The producers of the 2005 remake were also intrigued by the Amityville case not so much due to the horror film's scary details, but because the tale was allegedly true.
		The history of The Amityville Horror, as with The Exorcist, began with a best-selling novel.
		The truth behind The Amityville Horror was finally revealed when Butch DeFeo's lawyer, William Weber, admitted that he, along with the Lutzes, "created this horror story over many bottles of wine." The house was never really haunted; the horrific experiences they had claimed were simply made up.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: The Amityville Horror Movie Review
		The leads are perky and bland, the story filled to the brim with horror clichés (including a little girl with an imaginary friend, a fearful priest played by Philip Baker Hall, and that most bewhiskered of gags, the ancient Indian burial ground).
		Of all the specters in The Amityville Horror, the most stubborn is the corporate thinking that produced it, shirking memorable terror in favor of the safe, the time-tested, and the just-good-enough.
		As a horror movie, it may be barely adequate, but as an Amityville movie, it takes all comers.

	"The Amityville Horror" (2005) / review and viewer comments — Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The institutional horrors of slavery and patriarchy in 18th century authors such as Crevecoeur and Rowson gave way to the personal, psychological demons of Hawthorne, Melville, and Poe in the 19th century.
		There were seeds of domestic horror as Kathy Lunz saw her second husband deteriorate into a crazed lunatic (“The Shining,” “Sleeping With the Enemy”).
		The movie is stated as “a true story” this is a blatant lie since the movie never stays true to any points in the book or the supposed “hauntings” that occured.

	Horror Movie Review \| The Amityville Horror (2005) Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George
		he Amityville Horror" was always a rather strange choice of films to revisit, given that it lacks the instant recognition and built-in fan bases of other recent remakes such as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Dawn of the Dead".
		Of course, any debate over factual accuracy is likely to be of little interest to the average horror fan, which has left the film makers free to let their creative imaginations run riot and to include all manner of ghoulish goings on which have only a passing resemblance to the actual events.
		As a result, the 2005 incarnation of "The Amityville Horror", whilst by no means a great film, is that rare beast — a remake which actually improves upon its inspiration.

		Amityville's leading lady talks about her experiences of shooting this horror remake, then goes and spoils any fantasy we might have had about her sex scene in the movie.
		Moviegoers are often averse to the notion of remakes, especially in the horror genre.
		But let's face it: a lot of horror flicks from the '70s and '80s, classics though they may be, were crap, and are just begging to be remade.

		The thing that seems most lacking in modern horror films is the understanding of what scares us.

	AMITYVILLE HORROR - 2005 (R [R]): CAP Movie Ministry Entertainment Media Analysis Report MAR25029 - with Comparative
		The Amityville Horror of 1979 on DVD (114 minutes) was 17% longer than this 2005 film edition (95 minutes).
		The shorter 2005 version was stuffed with much more extreme gore, horror and evil than the 1979 version which relied more on talents and downright honest imagination than the modern techno-rifics of the 2005 version.
		The basement was not a gateway to Hell in the 2005 version but was a instead dungeon of torture and murder from 1692 where an evil preacher tortured and slaughtered American Indians.

		The movie introduces the Lutzs, the only well known actor in the movie is Ryan Reynolds and I am happy to say that he did a very good job playing George Lutz..
		I would say the best parts of the movie is when the babysitter gets locked in the closet and Jody gets her revenge on her..
		I do believe that every movie the man has made he is walking around nude or at least half nude.

	Movie DVD for The Amityville Horror (2005)
		While The Amityville Horror is a remake of the 1979 original of the same name, and while the new version is still set in 1975, the film takes on a terrific spin.
		I know that idea is fairly tired for the horror genre, but at least they get it over with during the first fifteen minutes and by minute sixteen we dive right into a sex scene and the first vision of a ghost in the house.
		Amityville and its extras is not only alarming and frightful, but also inspiring for the future of horror and the career of director Andrew Douglas.

		Probably the biggest insult offered by the movie is its insistence that it is "Based on the True Story", since it presents an exceedingly unflattering picture of the family.
		'Amityville' has no true story, no true tension', incorrectly stated that "that family that the original book is based on has admitted that their story was a hoax".
		One component of "The Amityville Horror" is the mystery surrounding a man named John Ketcham.

		George thinks that there must be a catch, and learns that the house has a dark history -- a year before, a man living in the house murdered his family in their sleep, claiming he was commanded to commit the crime by demons.
		Shrugging off stories that the house is haunted, George and Kathy move in with their three kids, only to discover that something evil lurks within the house, and even Father McNamara (Philip Baker Hall), an expert on possession, is powerless to clear the dark spirits from the home.

	TheMovieBoy Review - The Amityville Horror (2005)
		The latest horror remake to signal the end of original ideas in Hollywood, there is, indeed, room for improvement where 1979's "The Amityville Horror" is concerned, but this shallow, empty-headed 2005 revamping misses that boat by a mile.
		As for the Lutz family, their individual development and their relationships with each other are so glossed over and negligently written that they don't have anything to do but stand around in the house waiting for the next specter to pop out at them.
		Always in a race to get to the next lame jump moment, "The Amityville Horror" forgets that the best genre pics require characters the viewer can get to know and then care about once their lives are put into jeopardy.

		They all head out to Amityville to find a house where they all might live, and they soon discover a large, expansive place that is going for a price too ridiculous to pass up.
		Turns out that the previous tenants were a family that had been killed at point blank range with a shotgun while they slept in the middle of the night.
		The Amityville Horror is yet another recent horror film to try to drum up scares without bothering with the usually effective character development.

		Their story, called The Amityville Horror, was recounted in a best-selling novel by Jay Anson and later made into a hit movie starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder in 1979.
		Throw in horror’s sudden resurgence and some genuinely unsettling trailers and this new take on The Amityville Horror has all the earmarks of a pre-summer smash.
		Of all the horrors this remake could ever have hoped to put forth, this one just might be the most innervating of them all.

	Review: Amityville Horror, The (2005)
		The atmosphere is right, the horror is mostly low-key (primarily fleeting glimpses of ghostly images), and the story seems to be building to something.
		The backstory uncovered in the final 20 minutes is dumb, and, in the wake of this revelation, The Amityville Horror changes into a stalker/slasher film, complete with an unstoppable figure carrying an axe and a rooftop chase.
		Despite the teen-unfriendly R-rating, The Amityville Horror should do well with viewers who have become infatuated by the American re-makes of Asian horror films (The Ring, The Grudge).

		What the world really needs is an Amityville movie at least every five years, and I just don't know what we'll do if Hollywood ever fails to deliver.
		Things begin to sour for the family on their first day at Amityville, but it takes them 28 days to figure out the house is evil.
		This is why we are bound to see another Amityville movie by at least 2010, but for those of us who have learned our lesson, that doesn't mean we have to watch it.

		In the true story (at least, some believe it to be true) that inspired "The Amityville Horror," George Lutz woke up demonized every night at 3:15 a.m., the exact time a boy living in his house a year earlier killed his family.
		After the first night of shooting the 2005 version, inspired by the same 1977 book that spawned 1979's first "Amityville" movie, actress Melissa George ("Alias") woke up in the middle of the night and glanced at her clock.
		Jay Anson, the author of "The Amityville Horror" book, was not a believer in ghosts either, but nothing in his book was ever proven false.

	Movie Habit: Review of The Amityville Horror (2005), ***
		The Amityville Horror wasn’t exactly screaming to be remade, but this rendition does offer bigger, better chills even as its denouement departs wildly from the source material.
		Their roles are critical to the story and far more involved than those found in the ‘79 flick; if they couldn’t deliver, the whole movie would have come undone like a zombie with a bad case of gas.
		Regardless of whether Lutz was broke and fabricated his horror story simply to make a buck, as some have claimed, or if the story was indeed true, what has been brought to the silver screen in 2005 is a haunted house flick and it should be treated as nothing more and nothing less.

	Movie Review for The Amityville Horror (2005)
		The one true test of a good horror movie is its ability to scare you, regardless of how old you may be or how many horror flicks you’ve seen over the years.
		Declaring his love for his sister, he executes her as well, and we are treated to a sequence of police and news reports, bringing us up to speed on the events that happened after the Amityville murders, as Ronald claims he was possessed and saw his family as demons which voices told him to kill.
		Reynolds conveys more emotion with his eyes than most of today’s popular television actors who are typically thrown in these movies communicate in their entire careers, and he does it with a passion and intensity that makes you feel desperately sorry for whatever his character is going through.
