I went to see it last night. One of the scariest movies I've ever seen. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Oh, and the babysitter is one fine piece of ass (see avatar).

Cool film. The log-chopping scene was great.

Yeah, it's tough to see. I'm trying to edit it and make a clearer version of it.

Anyone wanna help me make an avatar sized version of this?

Yeah. I was looking at the Maxim pictures before, but I think she looks better in the movie.

I was entirely too drunk when I saw this movie.

Something scary would happen and I would see it, but it would take about 3 seconds for my brain to tell me it was scary, so I found it to be really, really boring. So I passsed out... err, took a nap.

I should probably go see it again.

Definitely do. Creepy little kids scare the [censored] out of me and this movie's full of them.

For anyone who has seen the original "Amityville Horror" (this is a re-make), is the plot fairly similar, or are there significant differences?

I haven't seen the original, although my understanding is that the two plots are very similar.

Should be, its based on a true story. I lived 20 mins from that house in real life growing up.

sorry man....afraid that has fallen by the wayside in recent yrs.

from the Trivia section in the IMDB entry -

[ QUOTE ]
Despite still being promoted as a true story, it is in fact a hoax. Convicted killer Ronald DeFao Jr's attorney William Weber concocted the story with the Lutzes. Weber wanted to use the publicity to get his client a new trial, while George Lutz needed a way to get out of the mortgage due to his failing business. Weber confessed this on a radio show in 1979 and the Lutzes fessed up in 1992.

In 1995 George and Kathy Lutz admitted, under oath, that their story is a fabrication.

but there is a real killer, a son into various kinds of trouble who murdered his family, I believe, in that house (I saw it on A&E ther other night).

Still makes good movie fodder though.
