Movie #46 - The Amityville Horror

Title: The Amityville Horror

Director: Andrew Douglas

Release Year: 2005

Plot Summary: A family is terrorized by demonic forces after moving into a home that was the site of a grisly mass-murder.

Thoughts: It wasn't as dumb as I thought it would be. It was suitably creepy in places, and it had a few "jump-a-mile" moments. And strangely enough, I thought all of the actors did a pretty good job, even Ryan Reynolds (who to me is still just a poor man's Jason Lee).

But the movie seemed to move too fast, rather than slowly developing up to a "horror" level. And the "explanation" in the end was pretty cheesy. So, mixed bag, really.

Rating (0-10): 5.2

Recomendations: I wouldn't go pay to see it, but I'd definitely go see it for free. Or maybe at the $2 theater, even.
