Allright, I was wondering who has seen the new Amityville movie and like it? LMK.

*it was O.K. Not the best I've seen, but not the worst.

Saw it, loved it, thought it ran circles around the original.

i saw it in theaters and bout it it was the alst decent horro movie made last year other than saw

Saw it. Thought it was pretty poor aside from a couple of scenes, and Ryan Reynolds. No where near as creepy or plausable as the original, though definately more for a mainstream non-horror audience.

^Well said.^

I thought it was okay. There were a few parts that made me shit myself but its nothing compared to the origional of course. And NOOO I didnt litterally shit myself its just a figure of speech people.

Saw it. Thought it was terrible.

Um . . Ran circles around the original? ? Have you seen the original? For one, the bonus features on that movie are so fake it makes Pam Andersons breasts look authentic. For 2, in the original, Jodie was an evil Pig that lived in the house, for three, they god "Van Wilder" to play George, ppl like that should stick to their own genre.

As for my comment before, the only reason I said that was b/c it had some gore, like when "Jodie" takes the babysitters finger and sticks it in her gun shot wound.

I've seen, and own the original, and hold my opinion. A demonic pig was a stupid idea to begin with, regardless of the origin, and in today's cinema, where Horror movies already have to endure so much shit for their credibility, a satanic oinker wouldn't have helped matters. I don't know why you're discussing bonus features, which weren't in the film. Let's be fair.

"Amityville" was Ryan Reynolds best movie yet. He was 1,000 times more convincing as someone on the edge of his sanity than James Brolin, who seemed more monotone and angry. Reynolds actually snapped, he scared his family. The log splitting scene was worth the price of admission alone, IMO. Just look at the comparison..

Granted, the remake didn't have the fantastic special effects of the original, like the oh so spooky light bulb eyes in the window..

I like them both, but the remake was much more effective, IMO.

yet to see it, but thanks to someone saying it was good (well, one person ) i think i'll give it a whirl

Jodie was an improvement on the original 1979 film. In the original we have a rocking chair moving and the girl says she was playing with jodie; If jodie was a demonic pig with red eyes, its out of order having it on a rocking chair.

Also agreeing that it was nice to see Ryan Reynold's in a differnet character. He proves that he can do more than 'comical'

The Babysitter was a huge improvement, but then im thinking with my two nuts.

Overall it does respect the original cause its all about the man of the house losing it to the mansion. I also liked the way it involved more an Indian Slayer and portrays the house as a former killing ground not burial ground as in the original.

^Well Said^

It was a good film. It was more mainstream, I agree. It was better than the original . . . and I can only say this because I wasn't scared while watching the original in the dark, I watched this remake with the light on and still was scared. So, if you haven't seen it give it a try in the dark and with the lights on!

loved the new one i thought it rocked

Well, the 2005 version was not as cheesy as the orginal, obviously, but I think that the newer strayed excessively from the original story by Jay Anson. I didn't like the idea of a "boss" ghost (Ketchum) and I didn't get to see the things I was waiting for like Jodie's red eyes in the window, the marching band music, etc. I also thought that Reynolds' performance was a little too like Jack Torrance. But I don't think that this version sucked. I might need to watch it a second time before I decide whether or not to buy the DVD.

But the eyes in the window was a mood killer in the original. Kind of like the zoom shots on Margot Kidder, with her constipated expressions. Just some over the top 70's cheese.

Now, if the remake had the bleeding walls, which was impractical, but cool nonetheless, I would have held it in even higher regard. There were just some things that wouldn't translate well into a newer invisioning, namely a spooky pig.

True. Pigs aren't scary. Pigs are breakfast.

Mmm..pork. droolio

Mmm..Margot Kidder..nevermind..

Man, come on.

You're telling me that if you were out on your front lawn watering, and you looked through the window and saw a 10 foot large pig with glowing eyes looking at you, you wouldn't be freaked out?

Hmmm.........well, if that were the case there would instantly be two movements: a bowel movement and then a running movement. "SHIT!! Big ass pig! RUN!"

The remake SSSSUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKEEEEEDDDD!!!






End of story.

Mind telling us why, jayy, you think it "SSSSUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKEEEEEDDDD"??

Don't forget the glowing eyes!

Those damn eyes. Yeah, the eyes freaked me out as a little kid. The first time I saw the original Amityville I was about 6 or 7 years old and when I saw Jody's yellow lightbulb eyes in the window I slept in my parents bed for like 3 nights in a row.

That still doesn't answer my question, jayy. Why do you think the movie sucks? Tell us in detail why the movie gets an "F" instead of acting like a complete douche. By the way, Einstein, its called CTRL+C highlighting to copy your inane post and paste it into my reply.

Go back and read all the posts on why it sucked tard.

Don't get all bent out of shape there Waldo. I don't have to give you SHIT!

If I say I don't like the movie, you just deal with my opinion and move on because that's the only choice you have. Got it. End of story.

If you're content with being the only person that will listen to what you have to say, keep up your method of sharing your views on movies, because nobody listens to baseless opinions.

Well said, CD.

Does anyone happen to know where I can get a picture of (I think it is) the bloody tortured indian in the mirror towards the beginning of the movie that the little boy sees? I need it pretty good quality, I'm trying to make a signature of it. I took a screen capture of it but it's crap.
Thanks.

I HATED the remake of this movie. Completely awful, and nothing like the original

freaking hillarious

Ive not seen it and i don't intend on ever watching it coz i can't stand Ryan reynolds and i don't like remakes.

I've seen both, and I have to say that I like the remake a helluva lot more then the original. I liked the indian slayer bit. I also thought Ryan did a great job playing George.

Im not saying he didn't i just don't like him and i wouldn't give him credit coz i don't like his acting.

Well it isn't like he CHOOSES to act specific ways in movies. They have to change into their character.

I really enjoyed this. But,I loved the first one. It was alot more scary
