Title: The Horror is that this was ever released
Review: It can be stated that none of the Amityville movies have too much to offer in terms of story lines and building characters that we can ever grow to care anything about. This one follows in the formers' footsteps, though the story has nothing to do with the original. Nobody can remember what the hell the original story is anymore anyway. Down to the nitty gritty: this movie is plain dumb, unentertaining, and not scary in the least. The acting from a bunch of who-knows players is truly Z-movie level material. The writing and effects are not any better. Every horror cliche is ripped off with checkmate proficiency throughout this film. I'm embarrassed that I watched the whole thing, but like a trainwreck just after it occurred, I couldn't look away. I guess my intent here is to steer everyone clear of wasting an hour and a half, or whatever it is. It's hard to believe that 23 years on, the DeFeo murders are still being milked and the product is this claptrap.
