Love this movie. Nothing bad to say.. If you can get the box set which includes
1. The Amityville Horror Collection (The Amityville Horror..1979
2. The Amityville Horror II: The Possession..
3. The Amityville Horror III: The Demon..
4. Bonus Disc - Amityville Confidential).This one was not in the box and cannot find it as a single to buy so I replace it with The Amityville Horror 2005 Remake...

All movies are GREAT a must for your Collection...

A Great Story About A Haunted House.

This is one of my favorite horror films of the 1970's. I was really little when this came out so, I got to watch it on T.V. first. The first part of the movie is really true, but I really don't know how much of The Lutz's story hold up. This is one movie I would recommend to anyone. The film came quick and in great condition, THX so much.Read full review...

GREAT scary movie + based on truth! BETTER than remake!

GREAT scary movie + based on truth! BETTER than remake!

Nothing scarier than the truth, and here you have it!

It was scary then and is still scary today, BUT I prefer the original version (I guess "they just don't make 'em like they used to")!

May not be worth BUYING, but you've got to see it to know for sure :-)

Can't Beat a Classic

This film has stood up rather nicely. Unlike some other older movies this one kept me interested through out the entirety of the film. Sure the effects are dated but suit the film well. Most films today rely on jump scares but this one actually did them right. There is a scene involving a cat and it worked multitudes better then some of the recent jump scares.Read full review...
