Scared to the Top

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2012)

"The Amityville Horror" (2005), previously my favorite horror movie, is now second to "Insidious" and it's unpredictable scare tactics. My two favorite scenes were: 1. When the apparition walked back and forth across the window, suddenly appearing in her room. 2. Main character's encounter with the spooky family in "The Further" realm and their creepy wide-smile scene. I really thought some of the scare tactics were brilliant and surprisingly original, not to mention eerily realistic. Before I even knew, I noticed some similarities between this movie and the "Paranormal Activity" series, of course there were prime contributors from the series that also worked on "Insidious".
