4. The Amityville Horror, 1979
Last year -mo and I watched the Ryan Reynolds remake, and tonight we watched this, we went all MST3K on it. Needless to say we enjoyed this version much more.
The setting is great, the pacing seems slow at times but when something happens, holy shit does it happen! Reminded me of the style Hammer Films used around the 70s. The casting is pretty damn good and so is the acting.
Admittedly both Margot Kidder and James Brolin hated the film and didn’t believe the Amityville story. They also went to the actual house as part of a publicity junket.
Also note worthy, the similarities between The Shinning and The Amityville Horror are quite interesting.
