'AMITYVILLE II: THE PATHETIC!!!'

This is the only film in the Amityville franchise that I really truly love. The original has its moments but is overall incredibly weak, imo. The remake is intense but too glossy and loud. The other sequels are decent in spots but nothing great.

The Possession is the only one that genuinely unsettles me. I still remember how freaked out I was after the first time I saw it. Late at night with a pair of headphones on! It made all of the headphones scenes in the film even more disturbing lol. I find the acting to be decent from most of the players. The look of the possessed lead character is also very startling. The bloodbath at the middle of the film is one of the most chilling sequences in horror history, imo.

You loved the crap the remake is and HATED this one? Really? Ok.

The 2nd film is the only one that scared me! It is filled with a sense of dread and impending atmosphere that none of the other films have. i don't know how you think the acting in this film is worse than the original film? James Brolin did one of the worst over-acting jobs ever in that film!

Meat's meat, and man's gotta eat!!

I don't agree at all that this movie was garbage (or pathetic) but to each his or her own. I saw it when it first came out and then again just this week and it really creeped me out...even more than it did the first time. From the incest theme to the possessed Sonny make-up and acting, I thought it was very effective. The only aspect of the film that was a dud for me was Rutanya Alda's performance. And if you're reading this Rutanya, I mean no offense, for me it just felt like you were miscast. Burt Young was perfect as the bastard for a father (I grew up with a dad not too dissimilar), and the atmosphere of the house was very spooky. James Olson came across as a genuinely concerned priest, caught between right and wrong, reality and church dogma. The only problem I had with the film (other than Ms. Alda's performance) was stealing the part of the plot directly from 'The Exorcist', with the priest begging the demon to leave Sonny and take him instead. Other than that, good flick. /.02

Btw, I didn't care for the original Amityville Horror or the remake. Except for Margot Kidder, of course. hubba hubba hubba

You're right, no human being would stack books like this.

I only like the first three. That's it. The weird thing is about part 2 is that it never shows you the famous side of the house with the sun porch. Only the other side. Of course you see glimpses of the sun porche's banister looking down from those windows and a small scene with a close up at the windows...but never a full shot. In part 3 the other side that you see all the time in part 2, the pie windows are gone and there is one window there at where the windows would have been and this one window is centered in the middle and there is no chimney. Crazy!

Amityville Horror 2005 sucked balls. I wanted to punch Ryan Reynolds in the face for his appalling acting.

"Why didn't you pull the trigger? Why didn't you shoot that pig?"

Terrifying.

You are not a true horror fan to get upset over the incest scene. It's real horror and apparently it did freak you out.
This movie separates posers from legitimate fans of the genre.
The OP is just crap, not this excellent sequel.

Bruce Lee was real. Batman was never real.
