Post reviews here! I love scary movies but I don't want to see this if it isn't scary.

1. I want to see it

I like that guy that's in it...Alanis Morrisette's fiancee...Ryan something?

It looks promising so hopefully it will be good and scary.

4. The original

I can't say I've ever actually seen the whole thing all the way through. I've seen part of it on cable, but that was a long time ago, so I really don't remember it much. Maybe that's better anyway...this way I won't be comparing the new one to the old one. My horror movie buff husband told me the original wasn't that great, so I have a feeling the new one is going to be an improvement.

Well, anyway, even if it sucks, at least we have Alanis's boy Ryan to look at. :-)

5. I just finished watching the Original on the Mystery channel

And it was god awful! lol. I remember being scared of it as a kid. The thrill didn't hold up at all. From reading the reviews I am under the impression the new one is scarier and truer to the book that was written about it.

And like you said it does star Ryan Reynolds!

3. Ryan Reynolds. I like him too! So cute

LOS ANGELES — Likely to scare up a sizable crowd into theaters this weekend, "The Amityville Horror" (search) makes its way on to the big screen, again.

Closer to the 1977 book than the 1979 original movie, this remake centers on the believed-to-be true story of a newlywed couple with three kids moving into a house where multiple murders occurred a year earlier and demonic inhabitants still remain.

"I think the only thing that's the same from the movie is the title ... I mean other than that, we just changed everything," star Ryan Reynolds (search), who has been previously seen in "Van Wilder" and is engaged to rocker Alanis Morissette, told FOX News.

"The original movie did not stick close to the book — so I know that Scott Kosar, the writer, drew lot of information from the book and inspiration from the book."

In real life, George and Kathy Lutz (search) moved into what they believed was their dream house in Amityville, in Long Island, N.Y., one year after Ronald DeFeo Jr. (search) murdered his parents and four siblings there in 1974.

6. I saw a documentary on :The Real AMmityville Horror" sometime ago and it w

was a lot scarier than the movie.

I look forward to seeing the new one. Some movies are better when they are re-done in a modern way, and I believe this will be one of them.

7. I think I'm going tonight!

I'll post a review if I do! I love that Ryan guy as well. I'm interested to see how he does switching from comedy to horror.
