moneythis box set released by Scream factory which is part of shout factorycontains all 3 Amityville movies on blu-ray each Disc has their own caseand the artwork is excellent plus the Discs have artwork to (Pictured Discs)if you're a new fan of this film series i'll tell you a bit about the plot of all 3 filmsTHE AMITYVILLE HORROR released in Theaters 1979 which is based on the novel of the same name is an incredible piece of worka really Good supernatural chiller, very creepy, along with that is Great Acting by James Brolin and Margot kidderand also well Directed by Stuart rosenbergit's about the Lutz family that move into this particular house that happens to be haunted by Evil spiritsand they experience alot of Supernatural events through out the whole film, Unexplained events, Ghosts etcafter the first 30mins the film starts to get very creepy and bizarre at the end of the film the Lutz family were very luckynot to get possessed by the Evil spirits in the house and the Lutz family fled the House and never returned for their propertyif you believe in the supernatural you'll get a real kick out of the film, if you don't then you might not find it scary, you might find it boringso it depends who's watching it really.the film is very well Directed and well Actored so i found it scary regardlessTHE AMITYVILLE HORROR is Widescreen, the picture quality looks excellent, it's beautiful Blu-ray transfer with High Definition Audiothe surround sound quality is pretty Good for an old film like this, scream factory really did make an effort to enhance the picture and audio in Blu-ray qualityDefinitely better than the MGM DVD release from 2005AMITYVILLE II-THE POSSESSION released in Theaters 1982 which is based on the book Murder in Amityville by Hans Holzer who's a supernatural investigator/Ghost hunterthis sequel is actually a prequel set 1 year before the Lutz family moved into the housethis sequel which i think is just as frightening at the original classic has brilliant Directing by Damiano DamianiBurt young as the controlling father steals the film aswell as Rutanya Alda who plays the motherthe 2 kids get Abused and bullied by their father, the mother gets slapped around alotthe Eldest son gets possessed by the Evil spirit in the house and kills his whole family by Shotgunand that is basically the plot so it's a prequel to the originalthis film holds no punches there's tons of suspense and terror from the first scene til the last scene i found some scenes were difficult to watchcause the Acting made it look so real, Brilliant Actor Burt young and Rutanya Aldaand there's incest overtones by older brother and sister, no sex scenes just a bit of intimacy which was Disturbing.this film is also presented in beautiful High Definition Widescreen, the picture and audio quality is amazing much better than the 2005 MGM releaseand the last sequel AMITYVILLE 3-D released in Theaters 1983 which is actually a sequel/a continuing story from the first filmsimilar plot to the original classic i'm not going to explain the whole film, you can look it up on wikipediabut the film is suppose to be in 2-D and 3-D, you need a 3-D player and TV to watch the film in 3-D and i have neitherso i only watched the film in 2-D so i can't review the 3-D versionthe film's plot is still scary but not as frightening as the first 2 films in my opinionagain this 3rd sequel is in Widescreen High definition for the first time ever so the picture and audio quality does look better than DVD for surenow to the Special features, unlike the 2005 MGM Boxset that had no extras at all for the 2nd and 3rd film, the original had a making of Documentary etcthis new blu-ray boxset is the best for any Amityville horror fanthe first blu-ray still has the Making of Documentary with James brolin and Margo kidder plus the Audio commentary by Hans Holzerthere is a brand new interview with Music composer Lalo Schifrinplus stills Gallery, Theatrical trailer and TV spotswith Amityville II the special features are incredible,about 90 mins of interviews if you played them altogether but you can't select that on the Menu so you have to watch them seperatlyInterview with Director Damiano Damiani goes for about 5minsInterview with Tommy lee wallace who wrote the screenplay about 15minsInterview with Dianne Franklin who played the Older sister in the film, goes for 15minsInterview with Rutanya Alda goes for 15mins, Andrew prine who played the priest is interviewed for only 5minsand Alexandra Holzer is interviewed for the longest about 30mins, she talks about her fathers involvement in the Amityville series.all Great interviews all interesting to watchAlexandra Holzer does an Audio commentary for this film which i haven't heard it might be interesting commentary or might not.there's no Behind the scenes featurette/footage unfortunately but there's a still Gallery, Theatrical trailer and TV spotsAmityville 3-D has some special features, it does not say them on the cover artbut there's 2 interviews one with Candy clark who plays Melanie in the film and another interview with another Actor from the filmthere's no commentary or Interview with Director Richard Fleisherwhich i'm not bothered about cause Amityville 3 is an alright sequel, the first 2 were the best of the series in my opinionso scrap the old 2005 MGM boxset and definitely get this new Blu-ray boxset by Scream factory definitely worth the money.the only fault with this blu-ray boxset is the priceamazon have this for $60 which is a bit of a ripoff in my opinion, but if you buy direct from scream factory website you'll only pay $50and DVDempre has this boxset for $50 aswell so amazon has most expensive price.but get rid of the MGM boxset and get this Scream factory blu-ray box set, definitely for the fans.

I have been a fan of the Amityville Horror book for years. And I have enjoyed the movie (despite that it took liberties with the book. And the book took liberties with what really happened.) for many years now. But when Shriek Show put out the 3 MGM produced movies on Blu-Ray, I just couldn't pass it up. And you know something? I am glad I got it. The three Blu-Rays come in a cardboard set. And they are a bit more compact than said DVD's I had. While the picture is still a bit grainy, it is still a step up from my DVD versions of them. And I do like the extras on all three. The first Amityville movie has the extras from the DVD. But the other two have never before produced extras that were never on the original DVD editions. And Amityville 3D has both the 2D & 3D versions which is nice. But one has to have the 3D TV & Blu-Ray to access the 3D version. But that's no big loss to me either way. I am ok with just watching that one in 2D. But for those sticklers who insist on the 3D part, this might stick inyour craw a bit (understandably of course) But overall I REALLY love this purchase

I, like some other reviewers on here, bought this to upgrade my Amityville MGM DVD Box Set to Blu-Ray. If you are doing that, do whatever you want with the DVD box set (give it away, sell it, whatever) but I do suggest one thing you do with the DVD box set: keep the bonus Amityville Confidential DVD that came with that set!Anyways, the Blu-Ray set is excellent! It is much higher quality picture when compared to the DVD or VHS. Sound is a little better than the DVD but not too much. This set is worth it though because of the better picture and extra features. Not to mention, this box set is the only way to get Amityville II: The Possession and Amityville 3: The Demon (aka Amityville 3-D) on Blu-Ray. I highly recommend this box set, whether that's for yourself or a loved one who is an Amityville fan!

The original "Amityville Horror" (1979) was, and remains, a dumb exploitation flick masquerading as a serious film on the merit of its being based on a "true story." That the story later turned out to be a hoax removed that mask. Thanks to weird filmmaking choice after weird filmmaking choice, it's more often hilarious or bewildering today than it is scary."Amityville 2" (1982) is also an exploitation flick, but prouder of it. Holy moley, what a sick, wonderful movie. A prequel to the first, it's a better-made film, has a more coherent story, more engaging performances, better set pieces and scares, and is wildly offensive. Trigger warning: there's a LOT of domestic abuse in this movie, and it takes a variety of forms. There's also a dude-peels-face-off scene that gave me nightmares as a kid."Amityville 3-D" (1983): The most low-key, though occasionally just as goofy as moments in the other two. The story is solid. Performances are generally okay to good. A very young Meg Ryan skates by on cuteness in a nothing role, while a pre-"Full House" Lori Loughlin shines in the film's best sequence, an eerily quiet gut-punch in the third act.The first two films look and sound very good to great on Blu-ray. Some reviewers have said the "Amityville 3-D" BD looks way too soft and complained of consistent and egregious chromatic aberrations. As for the chromatic aberrations, they're there just as much on the DVD, and I'm confident they were there when the film was shot; 3-D was clunky back then. Regarding the softness, which has been the main complaint: to my eye it looks better, and closer to the source, than the processed paint-daub edges on the DVD.

Muy buena trilogía pero terror de los 70’s y 80’s muy bien remasterizado y súper recomendable. Solo recordatorio no cuenta con subtítulos en español solo en inglés.

very good...

If you can get this set at a great price it is worth it. Luckily I got this set for $25.99 on today's deals specials, so it was worth every penny. I think the regular price is way overpriced for just 3 movies. It is nice, they have part 3 in 3D, but not many people have 3D TV's. I had purchased a new 1080P 120Hz LED Smart right before 3D TV's were released, so why would I replace an almost new tv, just to upgrade to a 3D tv. That won't happen. When I get some real use out of my tv, then I will get a new 1080P 120hz LED Smart 3D tv. By then, the price of those TV's will have dropped a lot anyway, because it seems the new 4k TV's will be the next new thing.

Tener Amityville II en blu-ray una película de mis favoritas de mi infancia.Lo malo es que no tenia ningún interes en tener la tercera pelicula que es muy mala. Sobre la primera Horror at Amityville estuvo bien hasta que salio el remaster 4k que dejo a la anterior obsoleta.Ojalá remasterizaran algún día Amityville II.

A must own for horror fans.
