The Amityville Horror (1979)

In 7 words or less: Sexy Seventies couple buy the wrong house.
Best bits? There are a ton of good scares here and it builds tension over slow builds. Standout scare is when Kathy sees the demon (Jodie) outside her daughters window. Jodie is a totally wrong kind of friend for a 5 year old. (and Kathy's Glasses; Below). The downfall of George depicted through makeup is also great.



Did it make you think thoughts? Yes, afterwards I'm scared of what's behind me. Also how good 70's sound horror is. The SFX are 10 times louder than the normal track for maximum scare. Also, I think the preist takes it the hardest in the film, he's not even in the house and he's getting nailed.

Would you watch it again? Yup. At Halloween.
Rating (out of 100%): 72% One of the best Haunted House movies.
