adonis98-743-186503 This movie is a 'found-footage' film about the Benson family who move in to the infamous house where the DeFeo family were murdered in the 1970s over 30 years earlier. Things start happening to anyone who visits this house, and whoever lives there. This is the footage retrieved from the camera. The Amityville Haunting tries to be alot like Paranormal Activity and even tho i'm no fan of those movies as a whole they were at least half decent and entertaining unlike this movie which was just cheap and all over the place and it's an overall mistake as a whole.

Eric Stevenson I thought I would be soon over these stupid "Amityville" movies for Book Month, but there's always more of them! They just keep getting worse! This film once again starts by claiming it's based on a true story. For the umpteenth time, none of this was based on a true story and the author admitted to making the whole thing up! It was based on a novel, not a work of non-fiction! I hope James Randi cancels these films.This doesn't even have much to do with the actual Amityville story. There's a few allusions here and there, like the flies. This movie is dreadfully boring. It's basically trying to cash in on the "Paranormal Activity" movies and behaves exactly like them! Well, I guess a lot of found footage films act like this. The point is that new people are moving into the Amityville house and their son records everything weird that happens.There's a scene where a ghost just appears and does nothing for a full minute. I haven't seen every single "Amityville" so forgive me if I missed something. The ending is probably the worst as it features the dad going nuts and acting like an idiot. He's just beating up air in one scene. People are violently killed throughout the beginning of the film and the family still stays there! It's a pointless clichéd film and I'm glad to be done with these stupid movies. *

GL84 Moving into a new house, a family begins to experience a series of weird behaviors around them which they come to find out is the result of the previous occupant of the house coming back to seek revenge on the new family and forces them to find a way of stopping it.This here was a wholly bland and unappealing effort. Among the many problems here is the absolutely ridiculous reasoning why the family is still there in the house following these events. The fact that a vast majority of the film features the family at odds over what happens, from the death of the mover to the ways it shows them adjusting to the move and how the different methods for announcing the ghostly presence in the house that goes ignored for what they perceive to know better. That makes the film exceptionally hard to get through as the film is far more concerned with building an atmosphere of dread being in the house than anything to do with a rational thought, leaving tons of situations that play out in a rather infuriating manner of bringing the situation to their attention only to have it turn out to be shot down by their refusal to spot anything wrong with what's happening, such as the failure to recognize the tape left behind that clearly shows something is happening, the inability to spot the flies on the window which clearly should've required more attention than what's being offered here as these clearly signal something is going on inside. Another problem to overcome is the fact that the house itself is clearly not the usual setting for the rest of the films as the place is cramped, closed off and completely removed from how the house has looked in the past that it really seems like a different location entirely. This place doesn't resemble the famous house in the slightest and seems to be taken from any old house in the neighborhood so it comes across as even worse since this all makes the film look so shoddily made that there's very little chance of anything here carrying out in that kind of chilling fashion. With all these issues at hand, there's not much about the film to enjoy as it does have a couple enjoyable elements at play. These, though, are all confined to the final few minutes of the film as this one is entirely built on the action of the ghost getting into the action, from the chilling confrontation in the bedroom where it takes place completely over the security camera with no other figure on screen, the utterly chilling moments in the kitchen where the ghost finally gets to be seen in a rather terrifying sequence that's far better than the rest of the film combined and a pretty clichéd if worthwhile finale that's all the films' positives in a singularly enjoyable part. However, it's really all that the film has going for it. Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence and children-in-jeopardy

Ankur Kini so the movie starts with the words "what you are about to see is real" this is so not true, in fact, its another one of those Paranormal Activity "true story" plots where one person is shooting the video the whole time: it reeks of horror movie cliché. i don't really mind the whole 'shaky camera' trend in "real" horror movies these days, but what really gets to me is the fact that these people record the whole incident but don't bother to check what they have recorded until the very last moment. i mean whats up with that? aren't you even a little bit curious to see if there was any haunting recorded until you realize that people are dieing around you?
