Negative Positive
Title: Not as bad as the critics allege
Review: Professional movie critics LOVE to bash this movie, yet I think it's fairly well done. I liked the main characters, especially James Brolin (George), who slowly gets crankier and meaner as the film progresses. This picture has a lot of similaries to "The Shining" & "Poltergiest", though it's not as scary. The script in "Amityville" is a bit creaky at times, and I'm aware the Amityville Horror story is probably a hoax, but I still say this film deserves more respect than it gets.
