The Amityville Horror

This movie was pretty scary when it first came out and still stands tall today.

A great film but I thought it will be more scary

Last month I tried to get it on AMC but it failed so I rented it an it is worth the cash.

My second favorite horror film next to the shining watch it I also visited the real house on ocean ave. On feb. 25 2012 you can see pics at my Facebook page: amityville horror 1979 fan page. I also have these pages on Facebook: The shining 1979 The shining 1997 The shining 1977 Jesus Christ superstar 1973 Tiny Tim Herbert buckingham Khaury One flew over the cuckoos nest 1975 Roque 1900 league Croquet Justice form us

Love this movie, scarier than Paranormal Activity or whatever. Has a chilling effect, and very much lives up to the standards of the book. Even more awesome considering that this was in 1979.

i watched this movie with my friends and the only thing that scared me was some one was trying to be funny by tapping on the window. It was barely like the book because the book was somehow more scary.

The original really wasn't that good, I'm sorry to say. The special effects are far outdated, and weren't nearly as scary as the book made it out to be. Still, the actors tried their best, which makes me give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Good movie, there were surprises around every corner...just when you think you've figured it out, a new factor comes into play that changes everything...another classic, definitly gotta watch the original...good acting too, its almost like an older version of Paranormal activity....BUY!!!

i do love the classics! with the original amityville you have the elder brolin in some fine acting moments (namely in his tighty whiteys saying "who loves you?"), great and iconic horror moments ("get ouuuuuuuut!"), and just generally wonderful 70's creepiness! terrific classic horror!

I watched this movie on amc and loved it, so a week later I bought it off itunes. Definently worth the 10 bucks. The new one was good but no where near as good as the original.
