The Amityville Horror
"Terrifying! All the tingles and terrors of a classic haunted-house story." -Variety
If these walls could talk... the screams would wake the dead. Based on the chilling best-seller, this "spooky study in psychological terror" (Los Angeles Times) throws open the doors to your deepest, darkest fears!
The Long Island colonial house on the river's edge seemed perfect. Quaint, spacious and affordable, it was just what George and Kathy Lutz had been looking for. But looks can be deceiving... and their new dream home soon becomes a hellish nightmare as the walls begins to drip blood and satanic forces haunt them with sheer, unbridled evil. Now, with their lives - and their souls - in danger, the Lutzes must run as fast as they can from the home they once loved...or fall prey to its terrifying power!

The first one was ok with some creepy parts but kind of long and dragged out. I can't pick between the remake or this one. Maybe if they took the good stuff out of this and the new one it would be somewhat better.
The 2nd one I'd call more of an possession movie than a haunted house movie. If you expect that it is a pretty good watch with impressive makeup and demonic effects for its time. Interesting how the way possesed people looked in the oldest 'Excorsit' movies is very similar to more recent ones. Not sure if its just the way possesed people tend to look or they just knock off each other.
After watching the first two I didn't order the rest because the stories of the next two don't sound that interesting. Come on?! A possesed evil lamp? How scary and realistic is that?rent the third one - clauditorium
The first movie is mostly dull and much too long.
The second movie is also dull, except for some disgusting shocks. It's also an Exorcist rip-off.
Horror sequels are usually crap, but here, the third movie is an intelligent, very creepy, effectively unsettling, refreshingly (and miraculously) untrashy horror sequel that gets under your skin with sound and images. Good special effects too. Vastly superior to the first two films.
