Yeah… remember a couple of days ago I posted about how the the early reviews for the Amityville Horror were looking good? Well, scratch that. in 48 hours a whole slew of new reviews have been going up and the majority of them are quite negative.
One of the most scathing of these new reviews comes from The Globe and Mail which writes:
Of course, A Horrible Movie shouldn’t necessarily be confused with A Horror Movie, although the two genres do frequently overlap.
Cut to a year later. George and Kathy Lutz (portrayed with appropriately forgettable zeal by some duo named Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George) are in the market for a fixer-upper to accommodate them and their three youngsters. Naturally, the house is going for a song, what with its now being haunted and all, not to mention in apparent need of a good hose-down. Although the honest realtor (oxymoron be damned) discloses the sordid history of the place, George is undeterred. His comment — “Houses don’t kill people; people kill people” — tells us immediately that he is: (1) A member in good standing of the NRA, and (2) Not much of a moviegoer.
They gave it 0 stars out of 5. Yipes! There have been a few positive ones as well… but the majority are not looking good. Oh well… I’m still on my way to see it tonight, and I’ll still tell you tomorrow what I thought of it. Wish me luck.
