Negative Positive
Title: Mild entertainment.
Review: Fans of the original might want to avoid this. Rent "Amityville 2: The Possession" if you want to see something really scary. It depicts the Defeo family's story (preceding the Lutz's), and includes one of the most frightening scenes I've yet seen in a movie.The story about the evil missionary was sort of interesting. It just wasn't scary, unfortunately. It sounds like it could be an interesting idea for a better filmmaker. Also, I think it would have worked better to not have such an explanation of the presence, unlike the mystery in the first film.The whole film had an unrealistic, fantastical, sci-fi channel quality, which just doesn't work for a supposedly true story.
