An anniversary horror
film overreliant on jump scares and deafening soundtrack stings, The Amityville Horror is shake - and - bake entertainment based more on elements from Amityville II: The Possession
than from the
first film — which makes it a little bit
bloodier (though it could've been PG - 13 with almost no tweaking) and which is to say that you have your choice of which pile of manure to blame.
