Man, we can't talk to each other.

You're aware it's the same guy who wrote the songs to both movies, right? I'm guessing that's why they're so similar in style.

I have to check out that movie even tho I'm afraid it's gonna be too weird and artsy for my taste. But since you're Oscar nominating Keaton and everybody else is nominating Norton for this movie I have to give it a watch. ::smile::

The Amityville Horror (2005)

A family moves into their dream home only to learn that it was the sight of a mass murder a year earlier.

As far as remakes go, this is one of the rare ones that rivals its predecessor in quality. In this case, they're both about as mediocre and moronic, but this one is even worse. The one or two scenes in the original that scared me where completely ruined by predictable jump scares, which the film relies on a lot, as well as bad special effects. The remake significantly toned-down the priest character, and that's both a good thing and a bad thing. A good thing because I hated his character in the original, but a bad thing because he's even more unnecessary since he only appears in two scenes. Even if you enjoyed the original, I don't recommend this one at all.

3/10

That makes sense. I think the overuse of the crappy special effects really killed the vibe for me. I loved the scene in the original where the girl is locked in the closet, and you see the daughter just blankly staring at the door. That was a really scary scene, and I wish other scenes in the movie were like that. In the remake, they just ruined the scene with a god damn jump scare. The remake as a whole was a lot more busy and flashy, which is very rarely a good thing.

Yeah exactly. The original was much more subtle. The remake was typical jump scare, loud noise flashy crap.
