Sure hope this is one of those very rare instances of a remake outshining an original (which in my opinion hasn't really happened since "Last of the Mohicans"), because in my opion the first Amityville was really pretty bad, despite Rod Steiger's great efforts, and so was every sequel that followed.... Amityville 3D!

Trailer looks good, though!

The book scared the snot out of me, but then again, most things did when I was twelve.
