In the same regards as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I was disappointed in the original after witnessing the remake. Granted it is not fair to judge a film released in the 70s by today's standards, but the story-telling in this movie is jumpy at best. There are many aspects that are introduced and go nowhere and you are left wondering why they made a point to include it at all. They introduced and reintroduced the priests too many times with little to no payoff. I understand the contrast of the heaven and hell aspect, but the remake retells this story better and in a more direct and eery way. If you have a choice in Amityville Horror's to watch, check out the latest.
