Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
Never buy a house with a basement, and while you're at it, avoid old Dutch Colonials in which the previous occupants were murdered by an eldest son possessed by demons.

rotten:
A few lines get laughs, but the horror is standard fare, without a shred of innovation.

rotten:
The problem with The Amityville Horror is that, in a very real sense, there's nothing there.
