The original and best,
By
This review is from: Amityville Horror [DVD] (DVD)
George Lutz and Kathy Lutz, recently married and buying a house together, Kathy has her kids from her previous marriage but George loves them and intends to riase them as his own. The house they view seems too good to be true, its huge, three floors, cabin to keep the family boat in and a potting shed.
They love it from the start. The house has a past and they are aware of that, a young man slaughtered his family there in the night and later claimed voices told him to do it. Still, they move in because the house is far more than they could hope to ever afford had it not got a chequered past. They are happy - settling in and getting the place decorated and such, the daugther claims to have made an imaginary friend, the troubling thing is that she says she used to live there and while it is a little unsettling the parents don't tend to treat it as serious. Of the two boys one of them gets badly injured when a window previously latched falls onto his fingers, a priest calls to bless the house and is ejected by a venomous voice that advises him to get out - he falls really ill after trying to get his superiors to see that something really terrible was happening in that house and whenever Kathy tries to contact him her phone line gets fuzzy... George is having a nervous breakdown, he seems ill and distant, Kathy's aunt, a nun, comes to visit and also has to leave the house suddenly, to be violently ill on her way home. The house seems to have it's own life and seems hellbent on making the past repeat itself. The best of all Amityville films made - atmosphere and scares that aren't as in your face as the remakes. Big scares don't always need to be obvious. Watch this before the remake, you'll be glad you did.

Amityville Horror,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Amityville Horror [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Fans of this francise will love the orginal, although the special effects maybe dated by todays standards you'll still be in for some shocks along the way... An all time haunted house classic, forget the haunting and the house on haunted hill, this is the house that even in the 80's will make it's 90's counter parts look pail and class less...

scary, scary, scary.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Amityville Horror [VHS] (VHS Tape)
the other reviews say its hammy and cheap but all i can say isthat it and its sequel is very scary and gave me nightmares for weeks. who cares about the special effects remember it was the 70's but it still has the tension and atmospere of a good old haunted house tale. Stands up to repeated viewing time and time again when your in the mood for a good old scary movie.
