The Amityville Horror (DVD, 2005, Widescreen)

WHEN I HEARD THEY WERE REMAKING THE AMITYVILLE HORROR I COULD NOT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! I AM A BIG FAN OF THE FIRST I WATCH IT JUST ABOUT EVERYTIME IT IS ON TV! BUT I WONDERED IF THE REMAKE WOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD UP TO THE FIRST? THE FIRST MOVIE STILL GIVES ME THE CREEPS EVERYTIME I WATCH IT. AND LETS FACE IT USUALLY THE REMAKES ARE NEVER AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL, BUT IN THIS CASE I WAS VERY IMPRESSED! THE REMAKE WAS JUST AS CREEPY AS THE FIRST WITH A FEW MORE SCARES THAT WERE NOT IN THE FIRST. REYNOLDS AS THE WOOD CHOPPING (GEORGE) WAS EXCELLENT (WHICH WAS A SUPRISE ALSO) I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM PLAY A ROLE LIKE THIS BUT HE PLAYED IT TO A TEE! IN MY OPINON BETTER! THE REMAKE ALSO TELLS MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE AND SHOWS MORE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO GEORGE TO DRIVE HIM ALMOST TO KILLING HIS FAMILY! BUT THERE WERE SOME SCENES LEFT OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL THAT I THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE IN THIS MOVIE! THE FLYS!!! FLYS HAD A MAJOR ROLE IN FIRST FILM BUT NO FLYS HERE! AND YOU ACTUALLY SEE THE GHOSTS OR SPIRITS IN THIS FILM AND I THOUGHT NOT SEEING THEM IN THE FIRST BUT KNOWING THEY WERE THERE WAS ALOT CREEPIER! BUT ALL IN ALL THIS IS A MOVIE YOU WANT TO SEE IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE FIRST OR IF YOU JUST LIKE GOOD HORROR FILMS!
AND IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE FIRST IT DOESNT MATTER THIS FILM HOLDS TRUE TO THE FIRST!!! BUT YOU WILL PROBERLY WANT TO SEE THE ORIGINAL AFTER WATCHING THIS ONE!!!
