Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Better than the first film but still forgettable. The acting and drama is pretty dull. There are some really good scary moments when things jump out at you but nothing lasting. There were some interesting ideas and violence. This film is just lacking compared to Poltergeist (1982) and other haunted house movies. It updated the original but still an outdated haunted house fable.

A family gets murdered in the Amityville manor after demonic forces possessed one of its children, forcing him to kill them all, in their sleep, 28 days after they had moved in. One year later, another family, buys the same house at an incredibly cheap price and moves in with its three children. Weird things start to occur to all of its members, from strange behaviors to seeing people. The demonic presence starts taking control, ripping the whole family apart. Even the local priest can't do anything as he gets attacked and thrown out of the house. It's almost 28 days after they've moved in. Can they avoid repeating the history and not get murdered, or is it already too late?It's a terrifying movie, disturbing actually. You have to be strong to watch this movie. It will bring fear into your heart through the way it presents how a demonic spirit can possess and destroy a family without breaking a sweat. It's almost like a documentary, a great horror movie especially for the genre fans, with a story inspired from reality that is well put together. Although I don't like horrors, this one caught my attention!

Moving into a new house in New York, a family comes to believe that his new-found behavior is the cause of a haunted curse plaguing the house and try to stop it from influencing the rest of the family.Overall this one was quite an improved remake over the original. What makes this one so good is this goes far more openly for the idea of something being wrong here in the house, which is fairly liberally spread throughout here. It makes great use of several great factors for this, giving the impression of something evil at work here with the force moving through the vents, the numerous times along the first half of him being oblivious to something around him, the flashes of the ghost girl around the room and the different antics of the family being tormented by the demonic forces at work still here which is what gives this one some really fun at building the idea of a supernatural presence in the house. As well, there's so much at play here regarding how he is targeted and tormented with the ghostly voices, flashing demon faces and the incessant worrying over nothing that festers his slow-building rage into possession that something is clearly not right with him that continues to build the ghostly presences here, and comes off as a far more improved version of the same antics in the original. Furthering that, the action here is much more pronounced with some really great ideas with this, starting with the assault on the babysitter which is chilling enough with the locked door and flickering lights but throwing in the actions of the girl and her messed up features makes for a creepiness factor in the scene that really works here, the children coming into play in the different rooms of the house and the later half chasing through the house as the now-possessed stalker goes after the rest of the family through the house with both shotguns and axes from the kitchen up through the attic, out onto the roof and down into the boathouse for a series of dark, chilling scenes that make this so much fun and end this one a high-note. There's enough here with these elements to hold off several rather minor flaws in here. The main element is that there's such a big sense of building the supernatural to the extent here that it doesn't seem logical for the family to stay there at all, especially some of the obscure behavior committed by the kids even before getting to the actions of the parents. That alone really sells this as something being wrong, for the blatant personality change coupled with the other kids' problems all make this part somewhat problematic. The only other factor here against this one is that it feel way too much like a remake of the original without giving it a different identity. These issues hold it down while the bigger positives make it enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, children-in-jeopardy, drug use and violence-against-animals.
