The Amityville Horror Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Nothing gets in the way of the rote staging, the ham-handed predictability, the feeling that you've been to this house, and yawned at these ghosts, once too often.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
In theory, this should all be scary, but it just isn't. You giggle at the B-movie cheesiness of it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The problem with The Amityville Horror is that, in a very real sense, there's nothing there.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This house springs so many FX shocks it plays like a theme-park ride. Result? It's not scary, just busy.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
The original is still creepy, but this Horror will have fans jumping in their seats and talking back to the screen.
Newark Star-Ledger
Lisa Rose
The startling thing about the remake is that it's one of the better horror films to hit screens in recent months, thanks to its refusal to take itself too seriously.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
In a ghost story, the narrative doesn't have to be a model of originality or coherence, but it needs to support the scares. In The Amityville Horror, the writing is so bad that it detracts from the 'boo!' moments and creepy interludes.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
It retains the cheesy look of the 1979 original, pure schlock not gussied up to appear to be anything else.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Shoddily made, boring and, most shockingly, without a single decent scare.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
... routine remake of a 1979 horror classic.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A smorgasbord of strobe lights, screeching soundtrack noises, and silly specters.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Sorry gang, but 2005's variation on 1979's original is no more successful or scary than that bizarrely popular film was.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
A redundant round of recycling.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
Moviegoers are more cynical now than they were in 1979, and most will laugh off the moments meant to be tense. You can't really blame them.
Observer
Rex Reed
A few lines get laughs, but the horror is standard fare, without a shred of innovation.
Village Voice
David Ng
The Amityville Horror is a Xerox so tattered and faded that it's impossible to determine who's to blame for the overproduced mediocrity before our eyes.
Washington Post
Sean Daly
You'll want to get out of Amityville long before the Lutzes do.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
I wasn't shocked by The Amityville Horror, or outraged by it: I felt nothing but disdain.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A cut-to-order MTV hack attack. Audiences will be stunned not because they have been frightened but by how obvious and safe the whole thing is.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Like good drive-in fare from the '70s, this is all about sensation.
