The Amityville Horror is a pretty good remake of a cult 70's horror movie that is scary, intense and even funny at times. Good Fun even if the ending is a bit of a let down. Topped off with good performances from Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George.

A decent remake, but one that should have been passed over anyway. This one actually seems a tad darker, so the atmosphere is there, but like the original, it's the story that keeps it from truly standing out.

A satisfactory remake with a few good chilling scenes, though it has an inadequate backstory and a finale too reminiscent of The Shining. Final Grade: C

Bland rehash of the original. Nothing but routine scares.

I enjoy both the remake and the older version, but I have to say the updated style of horror really makes this movie stand out. Both movies are creepy and have decent acting, but this one has the scares and thrills that the other one did not. Ryan Reynolds surprisingly good in a mostly serious role.
