I prefer the remake of this film to be honest. Although I do enjoy this classic version too. The acting seems somewhat better in the remake and obviously so do the effects.

Yes, classic but oh my... Bad acting galore and just not scary. After someone said something I usually felt like asking, what? That made no sense. So I watched it because it is a classic but glad it is over.

I came back to this after I learned that the whole Lutz side of this story was a hoax. Funny to see how this turned out all these years later. Yea, this is filled with 70s cheesiness which is better than the actual story.

Based on a true story, _The Amityville Horror_ is a classic ‘70s horror film. When the Lutz family moves into a house in which the previous family was murdered, they begin to experience strange phenomenon and an oppressive spirit drives away everyone who tries to help them. James Brolin and Margot Kidder lead the cast and give strong performances. However, the writing is rather weak; as everything’s scattershot without any real explanations or connections. Still, director Stuart Rosenberg does an impressive job at creating tension and suspense, as well as a foreboding mood. _The Amityville Horror_ has its weaknesses, but overall it’s a frightening film that holds up remarkable well.

_**That iconic creepy house on Long Island**_

A newlywed couple moves into a shoreline house on Long Island with their three little kids. The house was the scene of a mass killing a year earlier but the parents (James Brolin & Margot Kidder) didn’t think it mattered and, besides, it enabled the More
