Amityville
 

I just read about a possible Amityville remake. Hope they quicken up the pace just a tad. This one used to scare me so hopefully it'll still be creepy.

If they do make a remake it better be good. because if it isn't I'll go insane. The first one scared me senseless. Well okay, not senseless but it did scare me.

The Sci-fi Channel had a mini-marathon of Amityville movies today. The original was better than I remember. I would like to see an update.

yeah I watched them on the sci-fi channel today. even though I have them I always watch them on tv when they are on..

I do that same thing with a lot of the movies I own. It's so rare that they come on tv, you just have to sit down and watch them.

Same here. I mean it seems like there never on tv and when they are u have to sit down and watch them.

i'd watch the movies that i own except for the fact that half the time they're dubbed over terribly...but sometimes they're good for a good laugh

I've never seen the original so this'll be new to me.

I recommend you seeing it.. It is a great flick...

Amityville Horror
 

I would like to see a remake of amityville horror.I think they could do alot with the movie.Make it scary this time.It wasn't a bad movie but could be better.

There is a remake for Amityville already in the works.

Re: Amityville Horror
 

Yeah i think it would be great if they updated it, as long as they kept to the original story line. Just a bit more horror and what not,
I think the first one was excellent. shared the pants off of me.
Well thats the reason igave the cops for having no pants on.
pity i couldn't think of a reason why i was standing out side my best freinds mothers bedroom window at the time though.

In production? BUT I WANT IT NOW!

It better not be a crappy remake. The original is pretty good, considering how old it is.

I have left.
DUH!!!!!

Woo Hoo \o/

I love Amityville

Yeah, Amityville was pretty scary. The second one got to me the most though. Although the acting was rather cheesy in certain parts, the scene where the possesed dude is going through the house shooting all of his family members was very disturbing and gave me the creeps. Definatly one of the few movies which still scares me. Regarding the remake of the original, is there no movie that isn't being remade? More often than not, they end up being crap.

Depends who does the remake, some are ace, like DOTD was the best movie I've seen this year.

But admittedly some are crap. It also depends on whether you've even seen the original, if you haven't you won't even notice the annoying things they do to the remake.

I disagree TCM was a good remake and so was the Dawn Of the Dead remake. I am hoping the Hills Have Eyes remake is gonna kick ass to because I love the original.

I watched amityville 1,2,3 on friday on amc:rolleyes:

I heard that the TCM remake was shit. Somebody said it didn't even have the "hitchhiker" scene in it. LAME!:rolleyes: Nothing will ever replace the original. I'm sick of fucking remakes. Now they have remade "The Stepford Wives." WTF? Good god, what's next?

Actually I liked the TCM remake, sure it wasn't as good as the original, but it had some intense parts.

I bet if they made a stepfather remake you would be all over it like flies on shit.

No! I hate remakes, and the mentaly impoverished dipshits who make them. I think the whole thing has gotten out of hand. there are too many good movies being redone by people who lack imagination and original storyline ideas.

That's your opinion if you don't like remakes don't fucking watch them it's that simple.

No shit.:rolleyes: I don't watch them. You give your opinion all the fucking time, and so shall I.:D

Thanks for the link

No problem

Amityville Horror remake
 

I'm curious about everyone's thoughts on the Amityville Horror remake being released next spring...Are you looking forward to it? Do you think it's a bad idea? Will the fact that the story is now widely regarded as a hoax affect your decision to see the it?

I guess I have mixed feelings about an Amityville remake. I think it'll be difficult to top the atmosphere created by the exterior shots of the house and the music from the original. Other than that, though, I never thought it was a really good film. I actually liked the first sequel more than the original. Regardless of whether it's a true story or not, I hope the remake more closely follows the events of the book (i.e. the hooded figure pointing at George as the family is trying to escape, crucifixes found hanging upside down, Jodie's hoofprints in the snow) which scared the crap out of me when it was first published.

Here's a link to a pic of the house being used in the remake:

I think the larger size and shape of the house in the original and the more prominant, eye-like windows of that house made it more sinister looking than this new one. Agree? Disagree?

one of the best haunted house movies if not the best ever it should not be remade

i really don't like the idea, a movie like this should never be remade, it was done the first time and thats it, plus the original sucked ass, so the remake is nothing but a waste of actors, directors, producers, cameramen ect.

I disagree. I think it was one of the better horror movies. I know it is largely agreed that it was a hoax but there was still some weird stuff there. I will definitely see the remake

i'm digging it soley on the fact that it's being flimed in my home town...

other then that i think the orignal is fine, will cehck out the remake for above stated reason

man, this is such a great time to be in right now! all these remakes, all this originality!

Re-makes suck.

In my opinion remakes are taking the place of pure creativity & originality. I've been waiting for years for a good horror movie to come out that wasn't a remake or a sequel. At the same time, since it seems to me that no one is concerned with being seriously fresh & new, re-makes of older top-rated horrors i guess are the temporary answer. I personally loved 13 ghosts, texas chainsaw, & that movie about the house that vincent price was originally in (forgot sorry). But really... nothing new. Other hand... there's no replacing the true gritty visuals, acting or mood of a classic. Anyone else feelin' me?

ryan rynolds (van wylder) has been cast as the dad

in a way im against remakes, but on the other hand i like to see what the directors do with it and how they either screwed it up, or possibly even made some things better. not that im saying that the original was bad, cause it was really good. im waiting for the pet semetary remake.

remakes are bad even if the movie is good

What?!?!? Hes like 12 lol. Oh well i'll see the remake. But the first one kicked ass. :cool:
