What do you all think of this movie starring James Brolin, Margot Kidder, and Rod Steiger? I've never seen it, but I know it spawned a bunch of sequels and a remake. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: The Amityville Horror (1979) - 1.5 out of 4 stars
"Family moves into supposedly haunted Long Island home, finds that "supposedly" is inoperative. Based on Jay Anson's (supposedly) nonfiction best-seller, film is yawn-inducing rehash of old schticks; not even good for laughs, with Steiger mercilessly hamming it up as a local priest. Followed by a prequel, AMITYVILLE II: THE POSESSION, a TV movie, and several so-called sequels. Remade in 2005." ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/Amityville_poster.jpg)

I watched it for the first time last October so I could better participate in Captain Spencer's quote thread. I wrote at the time: I have now watched the entire movie for the first time and I enjoyed it. So glad that George went back to save the dog! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I recall the I LOVE THE 70s VOLUME II Quote about the film: “James Brolin goes nuts….This is before he married Barbara Striesand.”
