Negative Positive
Title: Hamityville
Review: I remembered this being good - I was wrong. Perhaps I have been spoiled by a couple of decades of CGI's intervening, and also in those days, pre-video, too young to bluff my way into the cinema...you took what horror movies you could get.James Brolin's acting is the strongest thing in the movie, but the script is poor - the menace never materialises (think of the climax when he returns for the dog...what happens? er...not a lot) Rod Steiger as usual hams it up, and the rest of the cast is mediocre. Avoid.
