I thought it was kind of funny. Could have been MSTed.

I thought it was kind of funny. Could have been MSTed. I did also. Me and my friends riffed on it after seeing the Bloodlust episode. When we pressed the play button, that 'GET OUT!' voice appeared, and we all laughed. If you want real spook, see the Shining. Note: Notice how that movie at some points is really like the Shining? Even though it was released prior to the Shining, you know how long Kubrick took to make his films-the director for the Amityville Horror could have sneaked in and stolen stuff.

So weird--this movie is on AMC as I write!
I've seen this movie bit and piece at a time over the years, and I've noticed several things:
Has anyone noticed that not a lot happens in this movie? I mean, things happen, but for long stretches of time it's just shots of the house and scary music. The end makes up for it, though.
How stupid are Catholics? The Evil One does everything but hang out a banner saying "I HATE ALL GOODNESS AND ALL THINGS HOLY" but they move right in! There's still time to stop payment on that deposit check, guys!
What's up with Margot Kidder's wardrobe, especially that weird Catholic school uniform outfit she's wearing when she comes back from the grocery store?
Are all youngest daughters so lonely that they willingly make freinds with a demon disguised as an invisible pig? Wouldn't Satan have more luck dressed as a kitten or a pony?
When your toilet starts spouting black goo, there's something up with the pipes. Even if it's not a demonic possession, you need to renegotiate the closing deal.
If the house is perfect and in surprisingly good shape and available at a ridiculously low price, there is a reason! THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON!! ASK AROUND TOWN BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING!! Seriously, would you buy a house where an entire family was shotgunned to death? It wouldn't have to be possessed, that would be enough for me to keep calling real estate agents.
Anyway, this is a cool movie, even with the nitpicks I have. I'm always a little worried that I'm attracting evil notice just by watching it. BOO!

So no plot for thirty minutes, than suddenly all hell breaks loose....

I saw this when I was younger and was really freaked out. I also caught it on AMC yesterday and while it is rather moody, the scare factor was rather low.

I saw This flick when it hit the theater back in nineteen and seventy nine. It scared the Be-Jesus out of me. Well, not really. I actually thought it was kinda lame. I had already seen the Horror that was The Exorcist. I did, however, become an instant fan of Mr. James Brolin. That man can lay on some cheese thicker than Jack Pallance. I mean, hey!, has anyone here ever seen Capricorn One? That flick is cheese in a squeeze tube! It even has Orenthal James Simpson as a supporting actor.

Now get your gawddamn head down!" ) One great thing about that movie, though, is the fantastic theme music by Jerry Goldsmith. It's one of his best ever and it's such a shame that it was wasted on such a weak movie.

Yeah, I noticed those things too while watching this on AMC the first night it was shown. After awhile of getting into it, I started to get a little bored of it and I ended up not watching the whole thing. I think I missed the last thirty minutes or so. I did catch them leaving the house, but they took another commercial and I didn't feel like waiting again. When I noticed the wife dressing like a school girl I was like, "First pigtails and now looking like a school girl, jeez, what a hooker!" lol
