KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
LadyLoudMouth This movie was awful. Not because it says "What you are about to see is real". It terribly fake and anyone who can read will know that. The end says "The time and location was unknown"...uh...they just posted right before "The following events took place between 3am and 4am" obviously in Amityville. Agreed that the in-yo-face camera of a bloody ghost made me jump a little it was a complete waste of time. I wouldn't bother watching it again and wish Hulu wouldn't count any rating of me watching it... Cheap scare. Watch the documentary instead; or the first or second movie.
Sam James This movies Is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. There are so many thing that don't work with this film, the two biggest problems I have with this movie are: The Acting- I believe that this film has some of the worst acting I have ever seen! The Scares- The scares in this film are not only bad, but they are dull and boring. If you happen to find this movie in the video stores then take it from me, don't waste your money on the rubbish movie I give it 1 out of 10 Thanks for reading my quick and simple review of 'The Amityville Haunting' SDJ
Amelia R I watched this movie solely because I thought that it was "The Amityville Horror" (2005). So, you can imagine my shock and repulsion when I realized that in lieu of seeing Ryan Reynolds' glorious 6- pack, I was instead watching a little blonde boy mutter incoherently at his tart of a sister. Although I was confused and discombobulated by what was on the screen before me, I thought to myself 'hey, I should give this movie a chance'.If you are interested in watching this movie, I think it is only fair that I tell you honestly what the heck is going on. First of all, the acting is quite terrible. I mean, the characters aren't really developed enough to be characters at all; they are just little humanoid blobs running around and doing whatever they want. Secondly, this movie is not scary. I think the scariest it gets is you see a shadow and hear a 'thump', or you see a door close by means of some unseen force. This is by no means a horror movie. In fact, I'm having trouble deciding which genre this movie would fall under. Perhaps 'comedy' except it is more pitiful than a comedy. Maybe 'self-satire' is more accurate, or 'blemish on the face of the film industry'. This movie is extremely dissimilar to the other Amityville movies, the 'found-footage' style of film really doesn't work for the movie, and it is obvious just how low-budget the movie was.Finally, what the heck is with that sex scene at the beginning of the film?????????????!!!!!!! Why is it there?!?!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!??!??
moonmonday I have rarely ever seen such an instantly unlikeable film and cast of characters. It's amazing what can be cranked out to try and make a buck.The dialogue is atrocious and unbelievable, especially when it's delivered by such atrocious actors. The younger actors can get a little break since they're young, but the adults should know better than to give such terrible performances. The parents in this were among the most awful I've ever seen -- not only were they hideously unlikeable as characters, they were utterly uncharismatic as actors. And who says the things they were saying when seeing the house? If I were that real estate agent, I'd have felt as awkward as she looked like she was feeling.'The family did not survive', the poster informs us. After watching ten minutes of this, you'll answer it with 'so what?'
