Opened in movie theaters 34 years ago today:
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (James Brolin, Margot Kidder, Rod Steiger; directed by Stuart Rosenberg)
Review: “The problem with “The Amityville Horror” is that, in a very real sense, there’s nothing there. We watch two hours of people being frightened and dismayed, and we ask ourselves… what for? If it’s real, let it have happened to them. Too bad, Lutzes! If it’s made up, make it more entertaining. If they can’t make up their minds… why should we?.” —Roger Ebert, 1979
Trivia: The on-location scenes of The Amityville Horror were filmed at a house in Toms River, New Jersey, which had been converted to look like the 112 Ocean Avenue home after the authorities in Amityville denied permission for filming on the actual location. —wikipedia
