harrietj 's review for:

The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson
2.5

I think basically I was expecting there to be... more? To this?

Having watched so many films, that get so utterly ridiculous, and knowing what an iconic horror location the Amityville house is, I think it's maybe really easy to forget what an impact this story had when it first came out. And maybe it's impossible to recapture that. But overall, what I felt reading this allegedly true account of the Amityville haunting was, frankly, boredom.

I almost wish I could have read it with fresh eyes, to really get the impact of it.
