The Amityville Horror

Director: Andrew Douglas

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George, Jimmy Bennett

Screening: 2005-05-10

Oh look! Another haunted house movie. Let's see... have brutal
murders taken place in this house to make it "haunted"? Yup. Can
the windows and doors open and close by themselves, and the electrical
appliances act funny? Uh-huh.


Is there someone who can see dead people? Most definitely. And
are there creepy bathtub scenes now that creepy bathtub scenes are
trendy again after Samara? You betcha.


So, do you need to spend $9.50 on a film that you have seen before
in other variations? Well... that depends on you.


Are you a simultaneously a fan of cheesy horror and hottie Ryan
Reynolds? Because if you are, not only will you enjoy this B-grade
shlock, but you'll also get to see Ryan takes off his shirt much
of the time.


There are plenty of scenes showing off his sculpted abs that you
could chew on all night. In one scene, he appears in nothing but
a heart-stopping pair of low-riding pajama pants. Yet another hot-yoga
scene will leave you gasping for breath.


No frights here, but plenty of Ryan.
