Why it’s HorroRated
Andrew Douglas's Amityville remake stages the haunting with more budget and less discipline than the original. Ryan Reynolds is a capable lead and the film has some effective moments, but it emphasizes physical effects over atmosphere and loses the creeping dread that made the original work. A competent but unnecessary remake.
Synopsis
Andrew Douglas's remake stages the haunting with more budget and less discipline than the original. Ryan Reynolds is a capable lead in a film that doesn't require much from him beyond reaction. It emphasizes physical effects over atmosphere and loses the creeping dread the original understood.
