I'm binge watching the Amityville titles I haven't seen before and am being reminded that all in all this is a poor franchise.It's About Time otherwise known as Amityville 1992 begs the question what would happen if an item from the infamous house was relocated to another? The answer is a pretty bad movie will happen.A man buys an antique clock that came from the Amityville house, before you know it strange things are happening and himself and other family members seem to have been possessed by something evil.This did at least feel like an Amityville movie and reminded me a lot of Amityville: Dollhouse (1996) A passable watch for fans but as a standalone movie it's really not great.The Good: Amityville vibeThe Bad: Another cheating antagonist Pets getting killed in every damn horror film is overkill Flawed confusing story Things I Learnt From This Movie: Amityville is a major contender for the most butchered franchise in movie history
... View MoreThis is the sixth Amityville movie. It is scarier then The Amityville horror (1979). It is scarier then Amityville II possession It is scarier then Amityville 3 the demon. It is scarier then Amitvyille 4 evil escapes. The Amityville cures is scarier. The Amityville dollhouse is also scarier.The Amityville horror (2005) is also scarier. Still this movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very scary. It is one of the scariest movie from 1992. See it. If you like horror movies you will like it. 4.4 is underrating it. I give it 10 out of 10 it is a great movie. I think people do like this movie because it is a sequel.
... View MoreAmityville 1992: It's About Time (1992) ** (out of 4)Jacob Sterling (Stephen Macht) returns from a business trip in NY and has an antique clock with him. It turns out that this clock has a bad history including being present in the infamous Amityville house. Soon all sorts of bad things are going on so Jacob's son (Damon Martin) and girlfriend (Shawn Weatherly) must try and destroy the clock. This here was the sixth film in THE AMITYVILLE HORROR series and it was one (of many) that went direct-to-VHS back in the day. I think what really hurts this film's reputation is the "Amityville" title because I'm sure there are fans of the original three movies (why I don't know) who come to this cheap horror film and are disappointed that it's really not connected. Like HALLOWEEN III, if this film was released on its own and not part of a series then perhaps it would be enjoyed more. With that said, no one should mistake this for a good movie because it's not. However, it's still better than your typical low-budget film. The story itself isn't the greatest in the world but I think there are enough interesting ideas to where you can stay entertained. The film also benefits from some pretty good special effects and you're going to be shocked at how good they are compared to most movies like this. We get a rather vicious dog attack that looks quite real and the leftover impact of the attack is on full display throughout the rest of the movie as the wounds continue to ooze blood and other stuff. There are also a few other creative death scenes but one is without question really bad and I'm not going to spoil it but it's something that happens after an almost death by car. You won't miss the scene. The performances are also better than normal with Weatherly really coming across good as the girlfriend. AMITYVILLE 1992: IT'S ABOUT TIME shouldn't be looked at as a masterpiece or any sort of good cinema but it's certainly much better than most films in the series.
... View MoreAmityville 1992 is the best of the Amityville sequels by a country mile. I even enjoyed it more than the original. The story completely ignores the dreadful Amityville Curse (thankfully) and carries on the story of the evil/possessed objects being sold off from the original house. In part 4, there was an evil lamp which possessed a little girl. This time it's a clock. A family buys the clock and within days, some of the family members become possessed by the evil of Amityville. Pretty soon time starts to move forward and backwards at a rapid pace. All of this leading to a neat conclusion.There are some really cool time travel moments in this as well. Hours pass by in minutes for some characters without anyone else noticing. It's the most unique of the Amityville movies to say the least. and WOW, finally the acting is pretty good. The cast did a great job in this one. And the house the family lives in even has the windows which look like eyes, similar to the actual Amityville house. Good special effects in this too. There's a vicious dog bite and a man who melts. All pretty real looking.Amityville 1992: It's About Time is the best of the Amityville movies by a mile. The acting is great, there's realistic special effects, and an intriguing plot. This one does not disappoint.8/10
