Amityville is best known as the setting of the novel The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson which was published in 1977, and has been turned into a series of films made between 1979 and 2005. The story of The Amityville Horror can be traced back to a real life murder case in Amityville in November 1974, when Ronald DeFeo, Jr. shot dead six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue. In December 1975 George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into 112 Ocean Avenue but left after twenty-eight days, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena produced by the house. Jay Anson's novel is said to be based on these events but has been the subject of much controversy. The house featured in the novel and its film versions still exists, but has been renovated and the address changed in order to discourage tourists from visiting it.
Cara, isso não vem ao caso. Eu acho que filmes deveriam ser fiéis aos contos/livros/etc em que foram inspirados. Call of Chtulhu é outro filme bem podre, mas tu pega o conto pra ler e te apavora com o bagulho. Eu achei o filme simplesmente sacal D:Pedro Vc escreveu:É, o Horror em Amytiville tem umas nonsenises sim. Acredito que tudo isso foi pra tornar o filme mais "atual" e não fazer um idêntico ao da década de 70. Sobre o porco.... Fala sério, ficaria o cúmulo da bizarrice ver um porco satânico gigante pela janela em um filme de 2005.
De qualquer forma, considero ambos excelentes filmes.
