Classic film. Don't need to explain this. This film is awesome. 9.5/10. A+.

This was dull pointless waste of two hours starring really good actors.

I saw two movies, Amityville Horror and the Omen. One of these was very good. One of these had a pointless sideplot about a priest.

I like them both.  But Amityville is better imo.

I'll give credit to Brolin and Kidder, they are fantastic and certainly sell the slow break down of their sanity. But the movie seemed to me to lack a cohesive narrative, and a lot of plot threads that lead nowhere, the priest and the cop. I also felt that the climax was...unbalanced, with any of the high tension for me gone by the time he runs back into the house to save the dog.

 

Wall bleeding was a good effect though.
