I saw the new Amittyville Horror movie
I'd heard nothing but good things about it and when I talked to a guy online beforehand about going to see it he said it was actually better than the original. I can't really remember the original to be honest. I was too young I probably mix it up with various scenes from all the many many sequels. I'm fairly certain it's not better than the original though. If I could see the original again I'm sure I'd be dead certain it isn't.
It has a different twist towards the ending from the original. I remember watching it and definitely being freaked out by some of the imagery but there wasn't any REAL horror in it. All the scary scenes were just random jump out and scare ya moments...a lot of which were predictable so if you know they're coming, and prepared for it, you won't even flinch.
The first few were like that. You'll see what I mean when you watch it. After that they get a little more gorey and disturbing I must admitt...maybe enough to make you jump or at least get a reaction but it's not as much of a pyschological horror movie as the original if I'm remembering the original correctly.
The acting was pretty good, and the visuals were pretty creepy, I probably wouldn't pay to see it again though. I was fairly entertained throughout it but not so much that it will leave a lasting impression on me.
Has anyone else seen it yet? What did you think?
Asta!!
ps. The ending was lame..you'll see what I mean.
