The Amityville Horror (2005)

Amazingly good. I'm sorry, but you can't put this one down. It kept the storyline, kept the classic scenes (priest-flies, babysitter-closet) and was just an overall very well made remake. I'm glad they did it, it gave me a pretty good scare, and was just a good use of $7. I recommend anyone who's not to snobby about remaking classics go see it.

P.S. I'm not an easy pleaser as far as remakes go. I hated the TCM remake. But this one truly is good.

enjoyed it, pretty good conspiracy/espionage thriller. Kilmer was the right actor for the part... suited his style. The director went into more detail during particular scenes, where different twists in the story line unfolded, moreso than most other films of this type.

i liked it too ..
it came a little close to the edge of being too weak but Kilmer saved it.

Just finished watching "Madhouse". Definatly a great movie, although it starts off pretty slow. The ending was great though....really great!
