And neither is the story now that it's pretty much conclusively been proven to be a huge, shitty hoax. But the hoaxiness won't stop the Weinstein Company from remaking The Amityville Horror for a second time! Just five years after the last one!

I complain enough about lack of creativity and originality thanks to remakes of horror movies that were made some twenty years or so ago, but four years??? Only time and casting will tell.
