Realrockerhalloween The first direct to video low budget horror sequel that picks up the plot point furniture inside the infamous house will absorb the evil presence and unleash it within any house it resides. To bad they didn't keep it going for five instead of confusing the time line making this set after three.The story isn't very original having business man Jacob Sterling return home to deal with his unruly son and try to reconnect with him. Starting to become a staple in this series with dysfunctional or ulterior families. I like the grandfather clock prop becoming a haunting, emotionless face.Another bonus point over the last sequel is the effects are better equipped, real like and used to efficiency. The atmosphere feels dreadful, spooky and has contempt for the audience. Stephen Macht gives a stalker performance raising the stakes for the children as he terrorized them before they can destroy the cursed object.Not The best in the series, but a decent follow up after the last lackluster video. Check out its about time for chills, thrills and shills.

dtindley This was best sequel by miles There was a gr8 opening theme And Ammytiville house lighting up Then the time itself, which by the film means,can wind all to quick for us all.The original film is usually the best but the last film in series usually gives it a run for its money.Lots of violence in film,which is good ,the clock itselft is so much more controlling than a lamp. i love horror films and compared to some recently this measures up very well, underrated film The brilliant thing about this is, is not a lamp, but time controls all.... If only time could be wound back like the clock does, but for our benefit. we could play the game again

callanvass Jacob Sterling brings home an ancient clock as a gift for his family in a suburban neighborhood and everything begins to fall apart for the Sterling's. It doesn't help that Jacob is estranged from his family to begin with. It is up to Jacob's ex, Andrea to try to keep things civilized, but the house is now full of pure evil. I can't believe it... Hell has frozen over. After so many awful Amityville sequels, I have finally found one that is actually enjoyable. The 4.1 rating unjustly gives this film a bad reputation. What really helps propel this movie is the creativity. Whenever this movie shows signs of growing stale, it has another trick up its sleeve. This movie is pretty low-budget but doesn't lack imagination, that's for sure. At this juncture, they were running out of things to do with the Amityville house itself, so they started using inanimate objects, such as lamps, mirrors, and clocks. The Amityville house isn't really feature in this movie, aside from a couple of visuals here and there. I really liked the innovative things they did with time. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and manages to be shockingly unpredictable with it. I dug the surprising amount of gore. I'm not gonna spoil all the surprises, but nasty dog bites, severed dog head, and a scene involving Megan Ward are the highlights. There is also some decent character development in this one. Even though the family is very persnickety and snobbish, they are developed rather well. Stephen Macht is excellent as the arrogant father. His intense performance was a lot of fun to watch. Shawn Weatherly is solid for the most part as Andrea. She had a few off moments, but came through when all was said and done. Megan Ward almost had me drooling all over my carpet. Her sex appeal is out of this world. Wait until you see her infamous mirror scene. It is a major treat. Damon Martin is a tad annoying as Rusty. I didn't care for his nonchalant attitude. Jonathan Penner talks like he's on crack as Leonard. I couldn't stand him. His character was a smug idiot. Nita Talbot provides some class in her role. The ending is extremely creative and well done. It makes you ponder with a lot of things about this movie. Final Thoughts: I think it is the best movie in the entire series, with Amityville II: The Possession being right up there. It makes up for the low budget with creativity and delivering on it's ambitions. There is plenty to delve into if you're a horror fan. Don't be fooled by the low rating or the bad reviews. This is a bit of a gem6.9/10

slayrrr666 "Amityville 1992: It's About Time" is a lot better than expected for one of these entries.**SPOILERS**Returning home from work, Jacob Sterling, (Stephen Macht) shows his girlfriend Andrea Livingstone, (Shawn Weatherly) and his family, Lisa, (Megan Ward) and Rusty, (Damon Martin) a new clock that he picked up from his work. As they continue on with their lives, they start to notice that there's something wrong with the house, and when he is attacked by a local dog, he is bed-ridden and forces her to bring her friend Dr. Leonard Stafford, (Jonathan Penner) to come out to help her. As the weird events surrounding the family continue, and soon start to branch out to others in the community, they realize that the incidents are caused by the clock, which was brought along from a house in Amityville, New York that once belonged to a deranged teacher who's soul had possessed everything in the house. Realizing the danger, they try to leave the house before they all succumb to the house's evil powers.The Good News: This one here is a lot better than expected. One of the good things about it is the film has a couple really great cheesy scenes that work wonderfully. The trick with the light-switch in the living room at the beginning is pretty cool, mainly due to what the room switches over into, a call-out to the original with goo that appears in people's bed one minute and not the next, a really tense moment where a game of sibling roughhousing turns violent and much more. There's also a fantastic sequence where, as one character waits for a microwave to finish, it stops and another character appears suddenly in front of them, going off on a rant about the effectiveness of a particular firearm before turning it on them to question whether or not anything sexual happened between a former couple, then is revealed to all have been a subconscious hallucination. It's big one, though, is when the changed daughter lures the boyfriend down into the basement to sleep with him, only to have the tables turned in a sequence so glorious that the end result has to be seen. It also decides to give way to the sleaze when desired, with the simply superb sequence where, dressed in a night-gown, she proceeds to check herself out in a full-length mirror, and after a couple seconds, the mirror-image begins doing other activities, and soon after pleasuring herself, reaches out of the mirror and repeats it on her in person. It's sleazy and certainly leaves a wonderful impression on it. There's even a pretty nifty, sweat-filled sex-scene that keeps the sleaze moniker intact through most of the film. Aside from the cheese, it has some good stuff in it, most notably the realistic and brutal dog-mauling. This one is incredibly realistic, due to the dog continually going after the same wound time and time again, the absolute refusal to let go and bring the target back closer to it when it tries to escape and ends with it showing a lot of brutality. It's a really great, fantastic scene that really has a lot going it. The last big part in the film that works is the cheesy deaths, which are pretty bloody. There's a fire-poker through the leg, a radio's power cord shoved into the mouth and electrocutes, leaving a dark, festering wound around the point of insertion, impaled in the chest and a rope-hanging, among others to get some nice blood and gore in here. All these here make the film more than enjoyable.The Bad News: This one here doesn't have a whole lot of flaws, but they are there. The fact that this one is still a really big cheese-fest is one of the main concerns with this one. It's not completely serious, at least in tone, despite what is offered as being definitely cheesy in appearance, or at least in execution. The conclusion to the basement sequence is quite a perfect example, and is one of the main reasons as to why this one will score lower than most of the other flaws. The ending is another small factor, using a time-honored trick to end it that can be seen coming from a mile away and doesn't have any differences away from the usual. The slow, more methodical pace is something that could've been fixed, mainly since it would've shortened it a bit since there's no reason why this goes on for as long as it does, but otherwise, these here are the film's flaws.The Final Verdict: A lot better than expected, this one here has a lot more going on for it than the others and is one of the better entries. Give this one a shot if the series is entertaining or if there's something in it that appeals to you, otherwise then stick away from this one as there's a lot better ones out there.Rated R: Violence, Language, animal violence, Nudity and a mild sex scene
