"Amityville Horror" is a great movie but the remake was much better because it captured the evil, creepy feel of the posessed house. I didn't get that same sense of dread from the house in the original movie. Even when it bellowed "Get Out!" at the end.

I agree. The original didn't really do it for me. I wasn't scared of the house, just James Brolin's crazy hair and beard. The remake didn't go that much over the top but still portrayed that the house was possessed or whatever, like you said.
It's been a while since I've seen the original and for some reason I can't remember what the house's whole deal was. I seem to remember that the door under the stairs was like a gateway to hell or something but I could be wrong... I'm pretty sure it wasn't the same as the remake with the torturing in the basement and whatnot.

I thought "AMITYVILLE 2" was better than the original. It explored the evil presence in the house more than the original ever did.
