The film The Amityville Horror managed to present the story in such a way that it's truly possible to believe it happened, and in the manner it happened. This ultimately leads to the film having a strong impact on the viewer. It's not because there are so many jump scares, but simply because the horror is so well constructed. The casting was excellent as well, with James Brolin truly looking like he could kill in certain moments. Additionally, there's a great scene with an axe, and this was even before Kubrick.

Surprisingly not a bad haunted house film at all, but the remake had a much better finale. The two hour running time passes quite quickly, the film doesn't get boring, it surprises at times and if the finale hadn't lasted only seven minutes, I'd happily give the film 4 stars. As it is, only 60%.

A family moves into a haunted house… Stuart Rosenberg did a workmanlike job of directing the formulaic and hollow screenplay with all of the typical elements: the transformation of the perceptive father into an axe-wielding psychopath (a la The Shining), a priest and a struggle with the devil (The Exorcist). However, both of these storylines run at half-throttle and the film is listless and terribly drawn-out. Of the actors, only Rod Steiger is above average in the role of the priest.

A beautiful example that haunted-house horror can also be made in a way that won’t put you to sleep. The brutal atmosphere permeates the entire film and gets quite intense by the end. The story never gets boring, which is something truly unprecedented for me in the subgenre. The Amityvile Horror was a very pleasant surprise and on a completely different level when compared with the remake. 9/10

I didn't even expect it to be so different from the original. However, I enjoyed the original much more. The atmosphere was intense, and thanks to its gradual development, the plot kept my complete attention throughout. Due to its length, the film may have seemed stretched at times, but I was quite satisfied. Even though traditional scares were basically absent. After the screening, one realizes that nothing was actually seen throughout the whole movie, yet it was frightening. Personally, what scared me the most was the creepy soundtrack. Brrr.
