Margot Kidder, I’m so sorry that her final years were so difficult and that the end came like it did. In the late 70s and early 80s, she was Lois Lane to so many, a beautiful woman fron Canada who become one of the biggest stars of her era. I always though she was great in Amityville.

The Theme Song with the creepy kids singing still freaks me out.....

Love this movie. James Brolin and Margot Kidder were great. Appreciate their honesty and how genuine they seemed. RIP Margot.

The Amityville Horror and The Exorcist are the two best horror movies ever made. Real horror. The 70s were the golden age of horror.

I personally never believed the story of Amityville, but it does make for one hell of a horror movie.

He is a good looking man then and now. R.I.P lois lane Margot kidder

It would be interesting to see one of these with the actors that played the children. They all did such a wonderful job and are so often overlooked. Margot will be young an beautiful forever 💕

James Brolin, what a gorgeous man then and now!

*Rod Steiger gave thee-best performances in this movie, especially in the scene where he is trying to convince the other priests that there absolutely was a 'presence' in the house.*

Shout out to Rod Steiger for his great performance as usual👍

I had a huge crush on Margot at the the time, saw this solely to for her, and was able to get an autographed pic of her from a PR photo for the film. But I knew she was always troubled, & I'm glad she is finally at peace, R.I.P.

I remember watching this movie with my cousins all sitting on the same couch scared out of our heads. Those were the good old times.

James Brolin is so handsome

James could play Christian Bale's dad.

I loved Margot Kidder as a kid. I loved her work in this & Black Christmas. She was very nice at a meet & greet even though I'm not sure she enjoyed those events. I know her fans loved seeing her though. I liked hearing about Brolin's brother! I also had the BIGGEST crush ever on Meeno Peluce as a kid so I watched anything with him in it! This was fun, thanks. Stay safe everyone.

James Brolin did great in this film. Actually they both did...Margot too. Margot was a serious beauty in her day.

I remember seeing the original movie in 1979 when I was 6 years old and it scared the sh** out of me. Im 47 now and the children singing is still creepy. I guess the movie did it’s job. I drive by the real house yesterday while in Amityville

"We make the best movies in our heads" well said James brolin

Im not actor but like Margot Kidder she is very right. Most actors dont like to look at the film/work they do on film except during production for retakes. Because all they see is redoing a scene or negative view of their work. Even if they were outstanding and award winning.

This is one film that always scared me so bad. When I was 18 and moved into my own place, I remember I read the book. Omgosh it scared me frozen stiff and I slept with the light on afterwards. 😀

I was in high school when the book was published in paperback and I recall it was being read among my schoolmates. Another that was read by the students was "Sybil" about the woman with multiple personalities.---I enjoy hearing actors and actresses talk about their craft. Very interesting to hear Mr. Brolin and Ms. Kidder talk about the how and why of their work.

We miss you margot

I don't know if necessarily the kids had been "schooled" on what to say. By the time James Brolin would've been meeting them, they had answered those same questions many, many times before then.

One of my all time favorite movies. I wouldnt have them change a thing.

Everyone involved said she hated this movie and only did it because she wa under contract with the picture company. She felt the movie was below her !

I was finishing up my under graduate degree when the movie came out and most of us thought it was just another date movie. Don't get me wrong, I loved horror films, but not too often modern American horror films. The Exorcist was such a joke to most of us and we had thought this is just more of the same. It really was a solid film all around.

James Brolin is one of the best looking actors ever. Even at his age he looks better than some of the twenty- somethings in Hollywood today..

James Brolin took super mans place and rescued the dog 🐕

my family lived in a house in Derbyshire UK that was haunted. My mum and dad and older sister and Grandfather arent liars or crazies or anything like that. It happened, they saw, heard, felt and smelt things that were real, but also supernatural. luckily the haunting was not evil, just active. I wasnt born, my mum was pregnant but my earliest memory is me as a 3 year old playing under a willow tree and then having out of body experiences at a house that i later recognized from photos as that house. I remember the view of me sitting under the willow tree playing with a toy and i remember the "trip" i took all my life but it wasnt until i was about 10 that i first saw 2 photos of the house they had lived in for a few months before i was born and i recognised it as the house i used to travel around. there wasnt a photo of the tree in the garden but I was told there was one. What is really weird is that in my memories i am playing with a toy i had when i was three and when i look down at myself before i enter myself through the top of my head i clearly look like a child of about that age BUT i am outside of the house that i never lived in except in the womb. Its freaky and obviously ive never forgotten that and i never will. I live in China now and i am very happy that the people here honour their dead and honour the spirits/gods with countless little shrines everywhere. I think that is a good thing. This supernatural shit is real. if you dont know about it then its ok to laugh but dont be an arsehole and accuse others of lying. Its just not like that. I think that house today is probably ok and peaceful but i dont doubt that in the 70's something very bad was going on and it wasnt all from this world so to speak. Anyway we live in a world where hidden things exist, you just have to see them to believe but if you never see them then thats ok too.

I grew up in Toms River and watched some of the filming at the house. I remember it being a big deal at the time. I didn't see any actors during the filming I saw. Just 'rain and lightning'. My father was a volunteer firefighter in Toms River and helped out a little on the movie early on. The guy doing the special effects came up to him at the firehouse and asked about providing 'snow' in the movie which is what they originally wanted. They tried using foam, but it just didn't work, so they switched to rain. From what I heard from my father as he watched some of the filming, James Brolin was a bit of a jerk when someone asked for his autograph.

James Brolin's also great in Capricorn One!

I think the freaking music was the creepiest part about the movie

RIP Margot. I hope you're with Jesus.

I was freaked out by Brolin in this movie as a teen, not gonna lie

Margot Kidder was gorgeous

Amazing actors and great movie indeed... Scared me to death, i was like😱

I read the book before the movie. That book scared the crap out of me!

It's always scary to me how Brolin becomes lost in his character; Dafoe. His character forgets what day it is. How frightful.

It’s not a great movie, but I think Margot Kidder is *really* good in it.

Rip Margot

I am so upset that Margot is no longer with us. : (

James Brolin 💕💞😘

James n margot were great!!!👍🏽👍🏽

margot was one of my first few crushes

That was one of the best commentaries thx for uploading

Ronald Defeo Was REAL! AND WHAT HE DID WAS REAL!!!!!!

This was a great collaborative effort of advertising the right movie at the right time for profit. Fun journey.

RIP Margot Kidder. I thought she did a good job.

This is the second time that Murray Hamilton has played a person in denial, when others are pleading with him that people are in danger.

I was terrified of this movie. I didn't want to see it. My husband and my cousin thought it would be great fun to physically drag me in to watch it. My husband wasn't so amused three months later if I woke in the night and had to go to the restroom. 31 years later he never tried to force me to watch a movie!

If James Brolin is referring to the boat house of the real house in the 70s, it was painted black due to the aging of the cedar shingles turning dark brown and the stain streaks. Rare for some homes, but not completely uncommon to have a home or boathouse stained dark to hide aging.

This is by far my favorite Horror film. Scared the hell out of me!

*Regarding the book: Just for 'the Hell of it' (no pun), I picked up the book one night and read half of it. The following night I read the 2nd half. I was absolutely riveted and scared out of my wits!*

I really loved the look of James Brolin in this movie. I'm not gay. His acting was so stiff and poker-faced that he appeared to be a true, authoritarian, husband and father. There was no pretence in Brolin's performance. He looked serious and (somehow) 'Jim Morrison.' I'm not gay.

Margot Kidder was just an amazing actress who turned out a stack of brilliant performances throughout her career. But, she was one of the most eloquent, articulate and charismatic women in film history. We never saw an autobiography by her, and that's so unfortunate. Her life would have been such an engaging read. I hope she is resting peacefully. Margot Kidder 17 October 1948 - 13 May 2018

I was 9 when I saw it, it was the first scary movie I saw at our local theater. That movie scared the crap out of me. First, my name is Amy second my room looked like hers. I slept on the floor next to my parents for weeks, lol.

That was a fun interview though. I died laughing when he said he got scared when his jeans dropped! 🤣😂

George Lutz said that Margot Kidder felt that she was way too talented to be doing this film, she never met with the Lutzes & hated filming it. She never thought it was fun & always regretted it. James Brolin became quite close to George Lutz.

I watched the movie in 1979 I was 8yrs old I had to sleep with a light on for many years after!

I always enjoyed TAH. I thought it was a bit underrated

Rip Margot kidder ..

James Brolin spell, Margorot Kidder spell were really young in this movie

RIP Margot May her soul soar in Heaven

Dammm i think this is the scariest movie of all time, and anybody who disagree with me just try to watch this movie late at night while home alone!

They were all superb

You know like the first time with my older brother show me the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror and I didn't know the movie was based off on a true story

So I just caught this movie a week ago after so many years of not seeing it. Man it creep ed me out... Thought it was well done.

Great movie and soundtrack!

I have watched this movie omg so many times, but I've never seen the part they show you of George crouching down and running towards the camera after he screams "I'm falling apart" I take it this was cut from the movie? ...best horror of its time!!!

This was great!!

Steiger really goes to the other side in this one

Since I was a little kid I've always always loved James Brolin saw him in The Car, and This film. Shame he didn't have a bigger part in Von Ryan's Express one of my favourite films. Coincidentally also love his Son Josh. God bless you both from England UK 🇬🇧 PS James don't ever ever be hard on yourself as an actor your a dam dam good actor.

On the real home, there is no exposed brick chimney on the exterior, as seen on the movie house.

It's Thano's Dad!

The real house never had a chimney breast between the windows ..... But in the movie the Amityville horror it shows a chimney breast in the luts house

James brolin starred in the movie the car ....great actor

James Brolin said "Happy 911, celebrate the day" on a radio show.

I can’t remember which video I watched but supposedly Brolin knew the Dafoes????? Anyone else hear this?

Uneven film but largely works and is superior to the 2005 remake.

When was this documentary made?

Don't think James Brolin liked Margot Kidder. Didn't even mention her name.

That’s great thanks

He looks so much like Cristian Bale!

I always wondered why all these supposedly true life movies all came out in the 70s and early 80s? Regardless it’s a hell of a good story

I love the story and I believe it.

Was living in Beachwood at the time......was just a kid but remember it was a pretty big deal

Ronald DeFeo (the murderer) just died in prison this week! He was 69.

he looks exactly like Christian Bale

The scene with the doll with the red eyes rocking back and forth still is hard for me to watch!

As a studied actor.... not a star... not a celebrity... not even known... BUT as a STUDIED actor, I say this. If you can make the exact same feelings, moments, lines, emotions REAL every single time you do the EXACT SAME MOMENTS and lines... THAT is acting. Not... "Oh... let's see what happens in the moment." "Let's see what happens in the moment" is for rehearsal.

Margot was a million times better of an actor than James. It seems like they didn't get along - I think maybe he was difficult.

Love this movie its well made

Very interesting. Really enjoyed that. 💕

11/01/2020 💋💋💋James Brolin 💋💋💋

this is one creepy ass movie. scared me as a kid, scares me now. thats one fucked up looking house

1 Hell of a movie though 1 & 2 were the Best!!!!

It was never true it was just a hoax cuz the people that have lived there since then have never reported anything happening like that in their house it's really peaceful house the Lutz family all they wanted was Fame and they got it

I get the impression that James Brolin and Margot Kidder didn't get along very well

Both of them in this film was both funny at times like comedian s but it was a very scary movie this one the bit wen e falls in the well and then the dog eyes are red the poor dog and wen show pig at window thts scary

this movie just scared the shit out of me years ago just a great movie
