  • 3 stars out of 5

    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. Almost immediately, strange manifestations occur, resulting in unexplained deaths among his workmates and family, as he eventually uncovers a gateway to hell in the cellar. Decent special effects — rendered originally in highly effective 3-D — dovetail neatly with director Richard Fleischer's generation of a creepy, claustrophobic atmosphere. A young Meg Ryan has a small role as a spooked teenager.

    Terrible but worth watching for the 3D

    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 ... more

    If you can't find Tint/Scope on your TV remote or on your PC, then don't waste your time renting this film. As another reviewer has said, the 3D is just... more

    Not to bad

    This one is not to bad. A bit dated now. If you like this older film, then give it a try and see what you think.

    NOT A 3D MOVIE!

    I thought I'd give this one a try since 3D movies are making a comeback and recently seeing My Bloody Valentine 3D at the cinema. This is clearly not a 3D ... more

    Well that was pointless!

    Possibly a great film, but what is the point of renting a 3-D dvd, with no 3-D glasses. I was looking forward to it, expecting glasses, but none arrived, very ... more

    Rubbish

    I wouldn't bother buying this or indeed renting this if I was you. The film is rubbish, the quality is rubbish and the 3D doesn't work. It says that it ... more
