The Amityville Horror (1979) vs The Amityville Horror (2005)

For my final set of films I thought I would go with a horror remake set. We've got The Amityville Horror. I should say going in that I just don't care very much about horror movies. They bore me usually, and I have seen a handful of the very best and I feel like that's enough. Maybe these will change my mind? Maybe one or both of these could be considered one of those handful of horror masterpieces? Hmmm, let's hope.

Based on real events, The Amityville Horror is the story of Goerge and Kathy Lutz. A newly married couple who have scrimped and saved their money to buy a dream house, but that house has a deadly history.

It's a dream house beyond their means, why is it such a bargin? George and Katy Lutz will find out soon enough. Based on the actual events of a New England family, The Amityville Horror is a modern retelling of the 1979 classic.
