This frightening remake of the 1979 horror classic from producer
Michael Bay delves deeper into the supposedly true story of
supernatural events that occurred in a Long Island, New York home
in the ''70s. When George and Kathy Lutz Ryan Reynolds and Melissa
George come across a beautiful river-front colonial home being
sold for a steal, they suspect a catch. Once informed that the home
was the site of a grisly mass murder, they decide to buy the house
anyway and eagerly move in, bringing with them Kathy''s three
children from a previous marriage. While no one can deny that the
house is rife with spooky sounds, the family members try to put
their fears at bay. But over time, strange occurrences start
happening, becoming more and more frequent, and these events start
to have a transformative effect on several family members. Kathy''s
daughter starts to act bizarrely, ending up in a variety of
life-threatening situations, led by her new, not-so-imaginary
friend Jody. Likewise, something strange seems to be happening to
George. His usually sweet demeanor is replaced with a hostile one,
and he starts cruelly taking out his aggression on Kathy''s
children. Kathy''s original assumption that a house cannot be evil
is challenged as she watches her husband transform into the sort of
man that just might be capable of murdering his family.Faster-paced
than the original, The Amityville Horror keeps viewers on the
edge of their seats with quick editing, suspenseful music and
moderately graphic violence. The two leads give quality
performances, and seem to inhabit the decade in which the story is
set despite the film''s slick, contemporary production.
