Hey folks, Harry here with the newest AMITYVILLE HORROR remake trailer. Now, I know some of you seem to be under some odd delusion that the original film wasn't scary. But I watched the original the other night over here in my fortress of solitude and man... all the lights off... empty - strange place... stuck with a broken leg... strange noises walking on the ceiling - boards creaking.... "GEEEETTTT OUUUUUUUUT" flies, fucking with the catering money, bloody doggy scratches on the basement wall, the house bitchslapping Rod in the collar constantly through the film... messing with the crucifix... that babysitter in the closet sequence that leaves her bloody... Going back in after that useless friggin mutt. Dammit, I love that film. The music, the look, that house. All of it.
And now there's this remake. And you look at it. And this time - they're showing some of what they're doing beyond what was done in the original and I like most of it. Except... I don't like the mother actually getting to talk to that priest. One of the things I loved about the original is how the house just always fucked that part up. Be it phone communication, car problems, something to keep them at the house or distract it. But otherwise... I really like what I see in the trailer. It looks like a valiant effort, hopefully it'll be a success. Looks cool.
