Review of The Amityville Horror (2005) by Jacobz — 30 Sep 2005

Amityville has its scary moments, and they all made me jump when they came. However, the film tries to be subtly creepy, but is unsuccesfull at doing so, therefore it never gets under your skin. The only parts that are scary, is when the scares are in your face, and not quiet, which unfortunately, there arent many of those kind of scenes.

Reynolds performance came off a bit humorous to me, Melissa George is good though. Simply put, it is a mediocre horror remake, but it still rises above other entires of the genre this year. See it for some scares and a fun time, but dont expect any lasting effect, or emotional value.
