I finally got the opportunity to see The Amityville Horror last night. Rob & I went to the midnight showing over at Rainbow Cinemas - yeah for cheap theatres.
All in all, a good movie. Quite different than the original, however there was much more violence and gore in this version. I am not sure if I liked the added effects. There is something to be said about horror movies that were made in the 70's that played off mood to instill fear into the audience. In the original movie you never actually see the ghosts, it is all about sounds and unusual occurences.
Rob was nice enough(imagine that) to only attempt to scare me once during the movie. He *claims* he was simply trying to get my attention, however I don't buy it.
A well spent evening!
There was also a rousing game of Lord of the Rings Board Game which we won with the help of Brennan & Laura.
