Verdict: On a positive note, low-key creepy rather than outright scary, the new "Amityville" marks a modest improvement over the original, partly because, from acting to bloody effects, it is better executed. Shorter and punchier but nearly as hokey as the original, the movie is a procession of unregenerate B-level goosing. But there's definitely a smirk beneath the muck! Basically, you'll get exactly what you expected: Scared and tickled, within an inch of your life!
