21st century 'reimagining' of controversial ghost story

THE AMITYVILLE HORROR
(USA - 2005)
Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Super 35)
Theatrical soundtracks: Dolby Digital / DTS / SDDS
A young couple (Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George) are driven from their dream home by ghostly manifestations which compel Reynolds to the brink of murder.
Less an examination of supernatural horror than a study of one man's descent into mental breakdown, prompted by unspecified forces within a house built on the foundations of murder and mayhem. Reynolds is quite affecting as the tormented protagonist in this beefed-up 'reimagining' of Jay Anson's bestselling book, though the slow accumulation of details doesn't build to a satisfying whole. Miles better than the 1979 version, however. Oh, and Reynolds gets this reviewer's vote as Hunk of the Year - his shirtless scenes are a highlight of the entire picture. Drool, slobber!!...

Is it good? Eh...Is it scary? Indeed it is...
Added 10/1/2009
I saw this movie in the theater and it was pretty scary. True, the theater experience adds a lot to the horror with the surround sound and what not but it's still scary in dvd form. It gave me nightmares either way 2 for 2. Ever wake up afrighted with the words "catch 'em kill 'em" running through your head? Then you turn around and see a severed head next to you. Okay, I made that last part up but The sleep was less than easy after my viewing. It reminds me of a movie version of a haunted house(no pun intended) walk a ways, bam!, skeleton. Turn the corner, big retard guy with a machete comin' atcha. It was a non stop frightfest. Not a movie for the faint of heart. This movie is guaranteed to scare.*

The Amityville Horror 2005
Added 7/14/2009
There are 8 Deleted Scenes in The Amityville Horror 2005 that are not in the movie. I think its stubid cutting out the 8 deleted scenes. Someday, later in the Future, I hope they will put in the 8 deleted scenes in the movie, so the movie will be uncut. I would think the movie would have been alot better with the 8 deleted scenes in the movie. the movie is 100 minutes long, but was droped down to 89 minutes long. Jamey P.S. I do think Rachel Nichols is cute. I wished I had her as a girl Friend.

"An Excellent Remake Of A Hollywood Classic"
Added 7/7/2009
Michael Bay, who produced the remakes of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Fog", redid this amazing version of 1979's "Amityville Horror". The film recounts the haunting true story of how a family purchases a dream home, unknowing that a man killed his own entire family there. Once this new family moves in a series of unexplained events start happening with the father experiencing psychotic behavior to his loved ones. Hunk Ryan Reynolds (who has the best-looking abs of any actor I have seen) and Melissa George star as the leads.
The film would go on to be the #1 movie in its opening weekend encompassing over 23 million dollars at the boxoffice. So far the movie has made over 100 million! Needless to say "The Amityville Horror" has become a certifed hit, although many critics have panned the film.
The DVD features deleted scenes, Ryan Reynolds and producers commentary, featurettes on the making of the film, and more. The movie is in anamorphic widescreen, is 89 minutes long, and english, french, and spanish subtitles are included.
