Just as the 1980s saw a slew of remakes of classic, or just recognizable, films from the 40s and 50s, the early 00s birthed a bunch of remakes of films from my 70s/80s childhood. Which meant I got to see a whole bunch of movies I grew up watching get repurposed, or reinvented, to varying degrees of commercial or artistic success.
I gave The Amityville Horror a pass when it came out, as nothing about it seemed all that different or even interesting. Make Stephen Kaplan's self-published, entertaining and fascinating The Amityville Horror Conspiracy into a movie and, well, I would gladly pay to watch that.
