The Amityville Horror

Starring N/A Video Compiled by Geoff Meed Distributed by The Asylum

The Asylum has come a long way over the years. Its movies have gone from mind-numbingly horrible to watchable to fun. Which camp will The Amityville Haunting most likely fall into? It's kind of hard to predict. Watch the trailer and judge for yourself.

The first in a series of teasers for Shattered Hopes - The True Story of the Amityville Murders has arrived at our desks, and we'd figured we'd share before the voices in our heads demand that we start doing evil things at 3:15 am.

A haunting bit of eye candy for the upcoming Amityville themed docudrama Shattered Hopes - The True Story of the Amityville Murders has landed on our desks harder than a giant red-eyed pig along with some equally unusual release news.

The Asylum is back with an entry into the Amityville series, Amityville Haunting, and a warning that the footage contained within the film is REAL. Too bad the house on this latest piece of artwork isn't. Ironic, no? Maybe it's real footage from another house? Oh, we give up.

Hey, look! Amityville news! We haven't had much of that lately! This latest bit is for the Geoff Meed directed cinéma vérité style flick, Amityville Haunting. The first casting news is in. Read on for details.

Another week. Another Amityville movie ... however, this one has our attention for different reasons. Instead of focusing on whatever happened the night the Lutz family fled, Ryan Katzenbach's new film, Shattered Hopes - The True Story of the Amityville Murders, is a docudrama concerning the tragedy that befell the Defeo family.

Maybe it's because the Halloween season is right around the corner, or maybe it's because we just can't get over our fascination with what really happened in that little house at 112 Ocean Ave. in Amityville, New York, but one thing is for sure ... The Amityville Horror has never been hotter. And now comes a really interesting addition to the ongoing saga that's left us kind of speechless.

Okay, kids! For those of you keeping track, here's the tally thus far: We reported earlier that there are currently three Amityville projects under way. We know for certain that at least one of them is getting made. The other two? Not so much. How about a fourth?

The Amityville Horror, for better or for worse, is one of the single most famous ghost stories of our lifetime, and it's for that very reason that filmmakers keep going to the well to try and make a good movie surrounding the perplexing mythos surrounding the case.

If we revisit the score cards ... there's been one great From Dusk Till Dawn flick, one crappy one, and one okay one; and there's really never been a good Amityville movie except for Part II, which is delightfully sleazy. So can more sequels fix the problems both of these franchises have? We shall see! From the Press Release

After a very quiet post-Labor Day weekend for new movies, where Resident Evil: Afterlife (review) was the only major film released widely (and owned the box office), this week's new horror DVD titles aren't aplenty either.

You know, as much as I dislike saying this, other than Amityville II: The Possession, the Platinum Dunes version of The Amityville Horror is probably the second best film in the franchise. Although for most part the franchise itself pretty much sucked to begin with so I guess in retrospect that's really not saying very much.

Have "High Hopes" and an extra $1.15M laying around? Then you, my friend, can buy what could quite possibly be the most infamous house on the face of the Earth.

I know what you're saying? Another Amityville Horror? Truth be told, we didn't really mind the first remake by Platinum Dunes. Hell, it was better than the original which doesn't stand up well at all. For our money it's Amityville II: The Possession that ranks as best of the bunch. So the question beckons -- Are we ready for another remake?
