Diary Entry forThe Amityville Horror
I honestly can't say why I gave this film such a high rating on my first watch. Upon this second watch, I realized that this story could have been handled very differently, and would have made the film truly terrifying. But rather than focus on the degradation of the relationship between the family, they decided to put the focus on literal scares, showing that jump scares and sex were what made a horror film good. It's a shame, since this story, even if not true, has some elements that are terrifying. Since I watched the remake again, I should probably go ahead and check out the original again, since I have much better memories of it than I had with this film.

The Amityville Horror
Instead of the Super Bowl, I watch horror movies! As it didn't have much atmosphere or jump scares, it was pretty decent. Was confusing at time with the plot and didn't spend enough time on things. I actually thought it was better than the original. I didn't fall asleep watching it, so that made the difference between movies. I was disappointed that they didn't do the whole "get out" scene more... It was more like a whisper!!
