Much like the aliens featured in Independence Day: Resurgence, Roland Emmerich returns to exact vengeance on this beloved franchise. I’m glad Will Smith got out when he could.
The Horror Starts Again: Amityville Horror House For Sale
June 14, 2016 by 3 Comments
The house with the demonic eyes
The House in 108 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, New York is definitely the world’s most famous haunted house ever. It’s a 3,600 square foot big Dutch Colonial Home with a dark and scary past.
Let’s start at the beginning of its reputations as a haunted house.
Back in 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. killed six of his family members – his parents, two younger sisters and two younger brothers that he shot while they’re asleep. After that massacre, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the house with their children in 1976 and reported evil demon activity. The family fled the home and that story spawned the novel The Amityville Horror: A True Story, but more on it later.
The house is now listed at $850,000 with five bedrooms, including a large boat house on the Amityville River.
The latest owners did a few changes at the outside of the house. They for example changed the demonic eyes looking windows at the front of the house.
The book about the Amityville House
After George and Kathy Lutz published their story about the evil demon activities, American writer Jay Anson’s took this story in 1977 for his book: The Amityville Horror. A film adaption followed later in 1979 from director Stuart Rosenberg (Murder Inc., The April Fools), starring James Brolin (Catch Me If You Can, Beyond Belief) and Margot Kidder (Superman, Halloween II). A few other sequels also followed then but none of them were pretty successful.
Ghost spotted inside the house
Okay, believe it or not, but there are a few pictures going through the world wide web showing a little boy and a little girl walking around inside the house. Most people say they’re fake, but it’s up to you to decide if it’s true or not.
Everybody who wants to know more about the Amityville Horror House should leave a comment, if I should do a book review about The Amityville Horror: A True Story.
‘Assassin’s Creed’ Movie Will Spend More Time In The Present Day
May 16, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Assassin’s Creed marks Ubisoft’s first foray into the cinematic landscape, taking their unique IP and transporting it onto the big screen – with help of Michael Fassbender’s Hollywood heft of course.
Although the debut trailer for the game adaptation hit-the-net last week. Fans have been left with questions regarding how much of the big-budget action will take place in the modern day vs the films 15th century past.
In a conversation with IGN, Executive Producer Pat Crowley revealed that 65% of the movie will exist in the present day as Fassbender’s convict Callum Lynch fights the nefarious forces of The Knights Templar. The other 35% will take place in 15th Century Spain as Lynch projects his conscience into his ancestor Aguilar, via the Animus machine familiar to fans of the long-running game franchise.
“There are certain things that we absolutely want to respect in the game,” Crowley explained, “but we also want to bring new elements to the game […] This isn’t a video game that we’re making. We’re trying to make a cinematic experience, so there are new things that we have to introduce.”
In a post Marvel Cinematic World, it is understandable that Ubisoft would need to establish the present day in the this movie given the prospect of further sequels and possible spin-off’s featuring different heroes down the line. A situation that fans are more than accustomed too nine games in.
It will however be interesting to see how the filmmakers will get the balance right when Assassin’s Creed hit theatres December 21, 2016.
