Good start, but then it gets ruined

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The worst film ever. Not worth even wasting my time reviewing this bs.

This movie left me satisfied from the beginning, to the middle, to the end. This movie was splendid, many jump scares around every scene. But, this movie had its rough edges too, like the reality to the story. Some of the things were left un accounted for, like, the priest. Wasn't he going to go with the main blonde to try and get her family out of the house? Where did he go at the last minute?And, after he killed the dog, where did he put the dog?But, it was an 8/10 on my part. Pretty good! (And scary.) P.S. The ending was very creepy!

I am, as it were, a horror nut and I can thoroughly recommend this film. After seeing the previous Amityville Horrors I wasn't sure how this one would rate as the first one appeared to be true strictly based on the true story and therefore un-scary, and the others were stupidly unbelievable. This film tops them in shocking horror whilst trying to stick to a semi-realistic storyline. It also goes more into the reason why the house is as haunted as it seems. Without giving too much away this film has several very frightening bits which surpass many horrors of modern times. The lingering image of the little girl and the daemonic faces which haunt the family are a great touch. The ending is good but seems to leave you wondering what happens afterwards. This may not hold greatly to the true story but it is a fantastic supernatural thriller. A must see for any horror lovers.

The 2005 version of The Amittyville Horror was overall disappointing and week. Ryan Reynolds was a BAD choice for the lead, yes he may have a nice body with abs, but that doesn't make him right for this type of lead in this particular film. The acting was bad and wooden from all the actors. The child actors actually did a pretty good job, just not the adult actors. The action was bad and rather stupid. This movie was NOT scary at all, and the jump scares were predictable and very cliché. The movie had potential to be so much better, but it ultimately wasted it's potential. 2/10 for The Amittyville Horror (2005). I apologize for not being able to compare it the 1979 version of the the film, due to the fact that I have not yet seen it, but if it is anything like this, then I don't think I want to see it.
