Last night we went to see The (New) Amityville Horror. While my expectations weren’t especially high (in fact, they were pretty low), I was impressed. Well, perhaps not impressed. But I wasn’t entirely disappointed.
The mood of the movie was very dark, but also very believable – and the spooky moments really jump out at you. All too often a turn of the corner or a certain situation will nearly tell you that something is about to happen. In this go-round, it was different, and there were truly some jumpy moments.
I was very impressed by Ryan “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” Reynolds, who took quite a turn from that humorous role and played the slowly deteriorating George to the hilt. He was quite believable in his role. But I have to ask – why is it that so many dogs are being killed in films these days? That’s just wrong.
