Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Based on a bestselling, allegedly nonfiction book about haunted goings-on in a Long Island house (The Amityville Horror Conspiracy), this rather cheesy horror movie is more silly than unsettling. James Brolin and Margot Kidder star as newlyweds who move into the empty home and are gradually affected by the legacy of a murder committed on the premises. Rod Steiger is a priest who can tell what's up and gets dispatched in a rather ugly way. Director Stuart Rosenberg can't lift the action above a certain level of tawdriness, and the audience ends up watching the horror from a distance instead of feeling involved. In the wake of The Exorcist, this 1979 spooker seemed like a no-brainer knockoff--and still does. --Tom Keogh

- BLU RAY REVIEW - One of the best blu ray titles for a 70's movie yetOnce I purchased this Blu ray and watched it, I had sold my standard dvd version simply because seeing this on a 1080P was stunning in the day scenes. the colors were very bright and vivid, unlike the standard dvd where colors were very dull. most of the film was filmed in the house so it will be mostly dark and not as sharp and colorful but still a HUGE step up from the normal dvd. Id say this is one of the top older horror films that they did a good job on remastering with the blu ray besides my ... Read More

- 2 stars out of 4The Bottom Line:
Despite a few chills, The Amityville Horror goes on for a long time without anything much of interest happening and ends with a particularly flat denouement.

- Still Scary After All These YearsThe film shows it technical age but the topic is still scary if a bit dated.

- I Loved It!It was an excellent movie. I loved it! The first time I saw this movie when I was 14 I enjoyed it and I have ever since. I especially liked the part when the blood and goo drip down the walls. The part of the spirts in the house bellowed "GET OUT!" and the priest gets attacked by insects. There are many haunted house flicks in the horror film genre however this is one of the best, in my opinion. Mainly because it's based on a "supposedly" true story making it that much more scary and intriguing. ... Read More

- Truth or fictionThe "behind the scenes" interviews are as interesting as the novel. You'll love Kidder's personality, off screen, as she describes some of the acting processes and her interaction with her co-stars. Brolin does a great job of recounting his early days. All in all, a good "edition" of the film to have. Now, on to the film:
The fact or fiction faction of this film has nothing to do with the film. Nor should the "truth" about what truly happened should be of no concern to the horror ... Read More
