Disrespectful?
I have not seen this film nor read the book it's based on, but I have read about the DeFeo murders, and, let me tell you; I find the whole Amityville Horror debacle rather disrespectful.
Don't get me wrong, I see nothing wrong with making films or writing stories based off true events, or inspired by thus (The Exorcist, for example, or even the children's movie Balto come to mind), but to fabricate a haunting and exploit it for money? When these poor people actually died that cold winter night? It just seems rather unorthodox to me.

I fell in love with him the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.
