Amityville Horror

[Darken Elise]

Okay, this flick scared the shit out of me when I was a kid, and i didn't even see it. I have sicne seen peices of it, but not the whole movie. I once stayed in a house in Cape Cod that had the Amityville style windows in it (just one actually), but it freaked me out.

Anyway... I saw the trailer in the theaters for the remake of this film last week. I damn near shit my pants all over again. Obvioulsy, I won't go see it, but I'll look for all the little tidbits I can about it (that's about as brave as I get).

Is anyone here looking forward to this movie?

You're from Long Island?

[jazz]

from the few times i've seen the commercial, i could say that i was interested. slightly.

[Darken Elise]

I think they shot the flick in Wisconsin or something like that... Long Island is probably too expensive for on location stuff...

[DeadOhioSky]

yea, and unless you go north and east, no wheres near as nice (not that its not a nice place, but amityville aint what its cracked up to be... wait, its being advertised as a place of death, i guess it is what its cracked up to be)

i thought the book was pretty scary when i first heard about it

i dont remember which of the movies ive seen though
as far as i know there like 5 or 6 different "spin-offs"
the ones that i have seen were pretty shit

i'll see this one when i can download it

I'm usually not scared of movies much, if at all, but this movie was pretty scary. Better than the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and better than The Ring in my opinion. :up:
It reminded me of The Shining at times, but not nearly as good.

[jazz]

i knew it was gonna be at least decent.

[DeadOhioSky]

so thats the general consensus? a little better then decent?

and yea, its seems similar to shining.

oh, i haven't seen it. i'm just going by what godless said and the commercials that i've seen.

i hope it's better than decent.

[Pudie]

most reviews say its pretty good.

[Jonesy]

I want to see it....

Haha, Pudie, i like the avatar.

[petite savage]

I prefer the one with james brolin :ak: whichever one of the numerous remakes that is

- My girlfriend saw it yesterday with one of her girlfriends and she said that she'll need me to sleep with her more than ever...:loon:

[PatrickBateman]

looks like a lot more happens in this version.


The old school "GET OUT" still owns though

[Godless]

it took a while for me to get used to the Van Wilder dude in the role, but he's good in it

why don't you see it with both your gf and her gf?

:wink:

[Godless]

stfu, it was a good movie

[Parabola7001]

i took my girlfriend (Samantha) out to see it yesterday and she was scared to death. I wasn't though. Not to much stuff scares me anymore. But i still get chills when i hear that "rrrreeeeee" noise and the flash from the orgn Texas Chainsaw Massacre. :ohnoes:

[jazz]

how about the original versions of the movie (1, 2, and 3)? how were they? cheese-fest or scary?

[Pun'KinG']

I saw the first one a few times fairly recently and it's pretty :cheese:y. Although I must admit that the special effects and make-up weren't that bad, especially for a late 70's flick. A classic in its own right.

[jazz]

so, none of them are worth the purchase?

[PatrickBateman]

The original was scary ....when I was 5 years old..I saw it recently and didnt think it was cheesy....when is the new one out on dvd?
