The Amityville Haunting (2011)
A ghost hellbent on boring you to death
I love the original Amityville horror series and the remake, they are some of the greatest horror movies of all time, and then there's this movie. The Amityville Haunting does nothing original whatsoever and steals a lot from the Paranormal Activity series. This movie shouldn't even be considered a horror movie, a five year old child could watch this and not even flinch, I've watched Disney movies scarier than this. The acting is so bad that it's funny, I mean I have no experience acting and never intend to ever but I could do a better job than these horrible actors. This movie barely follows any of the original story or the true story happenings and attempts to make a clone of an already done-to-death found footage style film. I do not recommend this movie to anyone at all. If you want to watch a scarier movie, just turn it to Disney.
Sorority House Massacre (1986)
Halloween's Not So Good Twin
A little girl's brother kills the whole family but her (she escapes by hiding in the basement). He is committed, and she grows up with a new family, eventually going to college, where she joins a sorority. Due to a memory block, she doesn't remember that the sorority house was her childhood house. Her brother senses her presence in the house and escapes so he can finish the job he was unable to complete.
The whole story of this movie is all too familiar, being a die-hard fan of the Halloween series I felt like I was experiencing déjà vu. With that being said, it was not a bad movie. It had pretty decent acting, and the story is also good but not original. The killer reminds you a lot of Michael Myers. And this has gotten lots of controversy.
Story: 4/10 - The story is not at all original and is greatly influenced by John Carpenter's Halloween.
Picture Quality: 7/10 - For its time, it is a well shot film.
Acting: 6/10 - Actors and actresses do a somewhat believable job.
Characters: 6/10 - The main girl is well developed, but all other characters lack development. The killer is way too much like Michael Myers, but does have some separating features such as talking.
Sound: 5/10 - Sound quality is good, they do not do a very good job with the soundtrack and effects.
Overall Rating: 5.6
Scare Rating: 2/10
