Amityville Horror, The
Claudia Puig"For God's sake, get out!" That was the tag line for the original 1979 Amityville Horror. That simple admonition rings truer to those who go to this leaden remake.
Watered down: Melissa George and Ryan Reynolds play hapless homebuyers George and Kathy Lutz in the remake of the horror classic.
In this Amityville, the performances are bad, the special effects ho-hum, and it's not even particularly scary. (Related video: See the trailer)
The premise is well known, as is the fact that it's based on a "true" story. Because of a grisly mass murder that occurred within its walls, a rambling mansion is filled with evil, as if a demon has possessed its very architecture.

The previous occupants were all murdered by the Man of the house in a rage - children, women, wife, the lot, brutal stuff. Anyway, you get the jist, new man of the house moves in and all seems well at first. Until he begins to think his family are crazy.

They're amazed to discover a huge period property within their price range, but 112 Ocean Avenue, Long Island has a history - a year before Ronald Defeo (Donaldson) slaughtered his entire family in their sleep, driven by voices. The Lutzes hear about that from the estate agent, but there's an older, grimmer history too.
The family buy the house, with George asserting, "It's not houses tha...
