Pros: Mostly entertaining creepy movie.
Cons: Pacing issues at times.
Haunted houses turn up in movies every so often and I have enjoyed some of those movies. I just watched The Amityville Horror (1979), a movie about a haunted house that claims to be based on a true story, for the first time in ...

Pros: terrifying
Cons: destroys the weak
Originally intended as a defense for Ronald DeFeo Jr., the man who murdered his entire family with a high-powered rifle (more on this later), the Amityville Horror by Jay Anson was adopted for film after the novel received critical success and...

Pros: it's true
Cons: none
Although this movie is very good, the book is excellent. Based on a true story, this is a film about a house possessed by evil spirits out to possess and/or kill whoever occupies the house. (This is what the house in "the Haunting" tried to...

Pros: The true meaning of horror, scary, and maybe even true!?!?
Cons: Well, the nightmares that follow... afraid of this happening in your home... If that is a con?
I will start by saying this is the scariest movie I have ever seen to date. When I was a little kid I told my parents I wouldn't have bad dreams and would sleep okay if I watched it. Oh boy was I wrong! I have never been more wrong in my life. This...

Pros: A sort of time-capsule of what the mid-'70s horror films were like.
Cons: Clumsy, badly acted and scripted
Lately, there have been a lot of PG-13 rated horror movies, most of which have drawn critical and public lambasting. BOOGEYMAN, CURSED, THE GRUDGE, WHITE NOISE, THE GRUDGE 2 and on and on. One criticism often leveled by the public is that the "whimpy" ...

Pros: I HAVE A 1975 NEWSPAPER REVIEW ABOUT THIS HOUSE TO MATCH WITH THE FILM!
Cons: NONE
Let us get one thing really clear, here: I am a psychic who does volunteer with the FBI regarding strange murder cases, lost people, etc.. I just like to get that in, before, you decide I am a nut. Now, you may decide I am.
I saw this film a...

Pros: Scary at some points, good film for it's time.
Cons: Bad acting, bad directing and made with little money.
I am very found of the old horror classics. I love "Halloween" and "Friday The Thirteenth." I probably like them because I grew up with those kinds of horror films. I use to sit up on Saturday nights and watch Elvira's B-movies...

Pros: I'll have to get back to you on this one!
Cons: Everything from the opening scene to the end credits!
When I first saw this movie, as a small child, it gave me nightmares. I told my parents I never wanted to see it again!
Oh, how I wish I would have lived up to that statement! Many years later my wife and I saw this video on the shelf at a...

Pros: great flashbacks
Cons: Ghost looks like Barbara Streisand
This movie is a scary one. Just James Brolins facial hair is enough to scare anyone..Lovely family + Brand new house + Evil spirits= GET OUT!!!! Amityville has never been the same. From bleeding walls, to glowing red pig eyes, this movie is always sure...

Pros: Good plot, freaky situations
Cons: could have been a little more detailed in some scenes
I have no idea if you know the history on this movie, but I did not learn until just recently that this movie was not a true story. I have always been fascinated by stories of the occult and the "unknown", and when I first laid eyes on this...

Pros: SCARY
Cons: Tends to run a bit long in some scenes

Pros: Brolin's acting and hauntings
Cons: A little unbelievable at times
The Amityville Horror story makes you wonder if all this really happened to the Lutz family and if so how did they survive physically and mentally.
There have been a few stories like "Poltergiest" that are in this same classic category....

Pros: Good Story Line, Okay Acting
Cons: Bad graphics
I saw this movie, because I remember watching some of it when I was little and thinking "This is the scariest movie ever" and having nightmares about it.
The movie was nothing like I remembered. It was okay, but not as scary as I hoped. If...
