The Amityville Horror (2005)

Right off the bat, it needs to be said that this is not like the original Amityville Horror book or movie at all. They should have changed the windows of the house and the surnames of the families and called it The House that Murder Built or Crazy Shit in a Big Ass House.

This movie is enjoyable, in an action movie, the plot doesn't matter one bit, kind of way. There are a lot of creepy things and scares, but none of it is psychological. It's all, "Oh fuck, what the hell is that ugly thing?" But it works on that level (and only that level).

It's worth watching if you have time to waste or want some simple chills, but I don't know why anybody would buy this movie.
