After exposing a pair of phoney spiritualists based in the notorious Long Island town, journalist Tony Roberts laughs at the legend and moves into the famous cursed Amityville house.

Dont even bother. You dont get the glasses to give you the 3D film effect and after contacting customer service to see if they were not sent in error I was advised 'We would like to inform you that the Glasses are required to view the 3D movies in Cinema halls. The movie has been formatted to fit your screen and hence the glasses are not needed to view the movie using the DVDs.' If you rent this film it will be a mess off blury blue and red and if it doesn't make you dizzy it will give you a headache. This film was a 3D special edition supplied with four sets of glasses to watch disk 2. Only disk 1 was remade into a normal film i.e. not 3D. Very dissapointed :-(
I found out that it's better to watch this on a PC than your TV, it didn't make the film any better but it didn't leave you feeling like you just had a stroke.
