http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/review.php?id=435 There saying it's alot better than the original and they remove the red room from the movie(which makes no fucking sense since it WAS part of the story, so why remove it??  ) as well as the ending from the original.. I'm excited which is kind of Rare for me when it comes to remakes and they said Clive Barker would be proud of this...

I thought they were shooting for accuracy with this remake?? The books ending was George running downstairs getting his family out of the house and as he's running, he looks behind him and sees a Hooded being pointing at him... I'm pretty certain that's how it ended, but it's been around 20 years since I read this book..

Wow. If this wasn't written by Mr. Disgusting, i'd suspect a plant. Needless to say my anticipation level for this film just skyrocketed. It sounds absolutely incredible. I'm just praying that Dimension doesn't touch it from here on out. The description of the opening scene sounds amazing. "The film opens with an astonishing sequence as we follow the previous owner Ronald DeFoe through the house as he slaughters his entire family. The entire scene is quite gruesome and hard to watch, especially since it involves the murders of children. While Ronald is going room to room in the pitch black house, lightning flashes illuminating the scenes where he pops off each family member with his shotgun. " There is no way that scene will be effective in the slightest if it is trimmed for PG13. So, if Dimension doesn't touch it, I think we might have a great horror film here. That's a big if, though. |

Someone at the IMDb boards said he saw it http://imdb.com/title/tt0384806/board/thread/15880337 Well, what I saw wasn't a completely finished movie, but it was more than enough to warrant having a screening... They've done a great job of loading the movie with "startle scares," although there wasn't a strong or perpetual sense of horror / doom...basically you're just waiting to be startled again and again. A few of the scenes were very well executed (the babysitter in the closet was a stand-out), but some dialogue seemed contrived, namely all the scenes with the priest. I'm sure they'll change up the ending a little. The version we saw was high on build-up, low on everything else. The movie was just over all of the sudden. The acting was all believable, even if the had to stumble over some forced dialogue. Overall, not bad! Better than the last few scary movies I've seen. Too bad the "real story" factor isn't really there for this generation, that always makes a movie that much scarier. |

I fail to see how enjoying the TCM remake can put your taste of films in question. |

I'm sorry but I'm so sick of the typical internet fanboy lingo with the overabundant use of the word "CONTRIVED" when posting reviews for movies, especially horror movies and from a website as unreputable as IMDB and it's posters.. Funny how that review from Bloody Disgusting says the movie has a sense of dread and doom in it, but IMDB says otherwise?? This movie sounds like it will OWN and do so in less than 60 days.. =D>

Wow, that review at BD is awesome!!! He's raving about it!! And he says it can only get better!! "brutal, bloody and disgusting", now thats the three words we need to hear this year for horror. The TCM remake kicked my ass, i LOVED it, and this sounds like it's the most hard hitting horror movie since then. |

I'm reflecting on when I read the Novel "The Amityville Horror" and I can't recall the Novel being Bloody, Brutal and Disgusting unless there referring to Defeo in the process of Murdering his family and showing it??? The novel had more of a sense of Dread and Uneasiness when it came to imagining this and the details of the Novel.. It came off quite REAL and I still think the Lutz's experienced something and wasn't completely fabricated.. |

http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=19449 OK, here's another screening review of this movie that says it's fucking scary and fucked up, but I'll tell you what's fucked up is the fact that THERE NOT BEING FAITHFUL TO THE GODDAMN NOVEL!!! ](*,) Read this Review... Jody was always a Pig in this novel that the little girl always saw and the Novel described Hoof prints found in the snow from him.. In this movie, Jody is the fucking Babysitter!!! :???: Also, bloody hands clawing George Lutz in the bathtub with blood??? :???: I mean, what the fuck is this made up Bullshit??? :???: I've read the Novel and I'm about to read it again just to make sure, but I know for a fact that this is strike 2 when it comes to this remake not being accurate AT ALL.. I'll still see it, but Jesus Christ already.. Wasn't this the point of remaking this movie was to stay close to the Novel that the original film supposedly wasn't, cause that's not what I'm seeing here???

This is really making me more and more excited about this film. I'm usually pleased with remakes, and I think this is going to be very good. |

I mean, I guess I'm excited somewhat, but telling us there gonna remake this movie because the original film didn't follow the Novel closer is a complete wash when so far, everything I've just read in these reviews suggest otherwise and that there just throwing in shock factor and scenes in the remake that aren't in the Novel... If there shooting for accuracy, they have to have "Jody" as the Pig, not the babysitter and they have to have the Hooded Being in the end, not this new ending they've come up with... |

I'm one of the few that love the original, and I didn't like what I heard when I heard this was being remake. The trailer was only okay, and these reviews are doing nothing for me. I'll still see it with extremely low expectations. |
