The Amityville Horror Reviews

molto bello anche se alcune cose le ho trovate confuse.
Mi ha ricordato tutto il tempo shining, il che
lo rende assurdo dato che è uscito precisamente un anno prima. ricoda anche the conjuring e annabel essendoci anche lei nel film
ha tutto gli elementi perfetti di un horror.

versione positiva di shining, non so chi abbia copiato chi ma sono praticamente usciti assieme e ciò lo rende pazzesco viste le numerose similitudini però spacca, spaventoso in pieno stile anni '70, top

Started off very slow but got creepier as it went. Not super scary in comparison to today’s films but definitely eerie.

A fun haunted house film but I wouldn’t say it’s that scary cause it’s a bit outdated. Still a well made horror film with some good performances.

I’m

enjoyed for the most part, there were a few things here or there i didn’t care for but nothing movie ruining. always a fan of Margot kidder. 7/10

it was alright

Eu assisti há menos de um mês e esqueci de marcar, mas já não me lembro de nada. Pouquíssimo marcante.

Boring

Not at all what I remember watching when I was a teenager… But it was interesting and then I read a lot about it after and I don’t know anymore. Was it all a hoax?

Classic. Book is worth a read too.

6.9/10
i can see why it’s kinda cult classic ish - the action is fun and some of the horror worked but the effects weren’t great and the plot rlly lost me at the end

I feel like this could’ve been an email

4.5/5⭐️

Is this real I’m shaking

Rating: 5.6/10

The Amityville Horror is a classic haunted house film known for its atmospheric mood and iconic score. However, it's let down by a weak, episodic script and slow pacing.

Highlights
- Atmospheric Direction: The film's slow-burn approach creates a palpable sense of dread, amplified by Lalo Schifrin's phenomenal score.
- Strong Performances: James Brolin and Margot Kidder deliver grounded performances as George and Kathy Lutz.
- Cultural Significance: The film is a fascinating time capsule of 1970s horror, with iconic imagery.

Criticisms
- Weak Script: The plot is disjointed and lacks a strong narrative throughline or satisfying climax.
- Slow Pacing: The film's deliberate pacing can feel plodding and boring, particularly for modern audiences.
- Disconnected Subplot: The subplot involving Rod Steiger's character feels disconnected and overly theatrical.

Verdict
The Amityville Horror is a classic but flawed haunted house movie that's more effective as a creepy mood piece than a compelling narrative. Its iconic score and atmosphere are notable, but its slow pace and weak script make it a chore to watch at times.

Not as scary as I thought it would be but still good.

Classic stuff, great creepy vibe, was it true or not?
