VENUSxINxFAUXxFURS18 I wish I could give it negative stars. If you are a fan of The Amityville series, or just movies in general, do not waste your time on this. You will be horribly disappointed. The plot and characters are poorly written., The writers obviously thought that riding the Amityville coat tales would be enough for a semi successful movie. They could not have been more wrong. This movie goes nowhere. It was like watching a poorly written sitcom: weak ploy, weak acting, It is not to often than one comes across a movie this horrible. I tried watching just hoping it would get better but I could not get through 20 minutes before shutting it off.
movieman_kev A unlikable middle-aged couple purchase a house that bears no resemblance to the Amityville house of previous films and have friends help them move in. Obviously things don't go well (for either them or the hapless viewer) as the house ahem houses the confessional booth that the previous owner/priest got killed in. Yeah I have no clue either.Doesn't really have anything to do with previous or later films in the diminutive series in the least and doesn't really have anything to recommend it at all. I was just waiting for the terrible thing (i refuse to call it a film lest i sully that term) to be over so i could wash the putrid stench from my body.My Grade: F-
Lucien Lessard When a priest (Jan Rubes) was murdered years ago in a confession booth in his Church. The murderer was never found and the priest's personal stuff is been boarded up in the basement, where he used to live. Now in the present day, a group of five people (Kim Coates, Dawna Wrightman, David Stein, Anthony Dean Rubes and Cassandra Gava) are moving in the old priest's house. Which this house is supposed to be haunted and now the ground are experiencing strange things in the house. They been hearing noises, having nightmares, seeings visions and more. But one of them is the group of friends is not what he seems to be and they better get out of the house before it's too late.Directed by Tom Berry made an rather boring supernatural horror film that has nothing to do with the previous "Amityville" movies and even the house is different. The cast tries their best but the script is boring and very dumb at times. It is very obvious this one, it was made in Canada unlike the other pictures. This film is based on a book by Hans Holzer, who wrote the book "Murder in Amityville". Which that book was turned into a picture titled "Amityville 2:The Possession". Also the movie is laughably bad, even the last act. Don't watch it, it's forgettable. (* ½/*****).
Mr_Ectoplasma "The Amityville Curse" is a seemingly misplaced installment in the "Amityville" series, which seems to consist of a whole slew of never ending, cheapie horror movies. This time around, it doesn't even have anything to do with the Amityville house, if I remember right the only relation is that the house in this film is in the same neighborhood. A group of adult friends decide to buy an old house with the plans of renovating it and selling it or something along those lines. Unbeknowst to them, a Catholic priest was murdered in a confession booth that is now stored in the basement, and the man who killed him hung himself because of guilt. So, the ghosts begin to appear to one of the friends who seems to be a little psychic, and it's up to her to put the "curse" to rest before her friends' lives are at stake.This film is nothing new, is fairly boring, and really has nothing to do with the rest of the Amityville movies. It's almost like "Halloween III" was in the Halloween series. The house isn't the same, so it's not really the "Amityville Horror", the film isn't even really linked to the others if you don't count the title. The acting is so-so and the effects which are supposed to be substantially shocking look very cheap and unscary. The story itself is weak, even more so because of the series it was randomly placed in and the unrelation to the other films. I enjoyed "Amityville Dollhouse", but this one is completely unrelated and failed to do much for me. Perhaps if it were it's own film and didn't have "Amityville" branded on it, it would've made more sense, but of course it isn't.If you like cheesy, low-budget haunted house films (which I normally do), then you might wanna give this a look. Although, it may just be a disappointment. I think I'll give it a four for trying, I tend to have a soft spot for films like this. But don't expect anything brilliant, after all, this is an Amityville sequel. 4/10.
