Ah, The Amityville Horror. A classic. Oh, wait, sorry; what I meant to say was: A boring piece of shit why do so many people like this stupid movie??? Seriously, it's fucking terrible. Now I wasn't there so I'm not gonna accuse the people it actually happened to of being FUCKING LIARS WHO MADE IT ALL UP or anything, but once you get past the fact that it's supposedly a "true story" there's really nothing to this flick. The house is full of flies, the toilets are plugged up, nasty crap leaks out of the walls, people from church can't stand the place... Big whoop. It's about as supernatural as my first apartment. I do like how the main guy keeps bringing up how broke they are though; it's practically the running theme of the movie. It's almost like the cat who wrote this was hinting that these people would do just about anything for a little extra bread, like maybe even perpetrate some crazy hoax or something. I'm just saying. The only good parts are a pre-hag Lois Lane doing stretches in her panties, the scene where the dad steals a book from the library (I love gratuitous theft), and the music which - props - is pretty damn creepy. Other than that it's dull, dull, dull and totally fucking lame. In fact, the sequel and the remake are both ten times better. How many movies can you say that about?
