Amityville Horror Remake Movie Review

Posted by:

On November 13, 1973, police received a frantic phone call that led them to a nightmarish crime scene at the DeFeo residence in Amityville, Long Island. The whole DeFeo family was murdered in their beds while they where sleeping.

In the days that followed, Ronald DeFeo eventually confessed to logically killing his parents and four siblings with a rifle, saying "voices" in the house drove him to the massacre. One year later, George and Kathy Lutz and their children moved into the house on 112 Ocean Drive thinking it would be their dream home. But soon the voices began again.

After 28 days, the Lutz family fled in terror taking nothing with them and never returning. I been waiting on something to scare the crap out of me for a very long time, and Amityville Horror was kind of close. This true to life remake of the 1979 horror flick packs a good punch with real terror and personality. This is a rare haunted house movie that works on all levels at the same time.

It had a mixture of get under your skin terror, tense unsettling images, and jump out of your seat fright. Because of the supernatural mystery, (not because of what you don't see) it will make you uneasily and leave you with a hunting sense of fear. 8/10
