Lisa Templeton begins a new job as a cleaner at High Hopes Hospital, a mental institution in Amityville, Long Island. Initially delighted to get the job, Lisa soon realises that all is not as it seems. This movies just seem like their directed by someone who has a problem with understanding horror but also doesn't know how to direct properly in general and it's an overall once again bad movie in general. If you liked some of the previous movies? You might like this one as well but for those who really don't like this movies? Just skip this one as well. (0/10)

The DVD slipcase artwork is probably the best thing about this film. This film is so bad I'd rather watch the newest incarnation of Ghostbusters and that was an absolute pile of turd that robbed me of 2 hours of my life.

As I get older, I try hard to be a lot more positive when I watch films and desperately try to avoid knee-jerk reactions or pretend that critiquing a work means finding only flaws—however, at the end of it all, there are still some movies, shows, books, comics, video games, etc. that I can't find any positives with. "The Amityville Asylum" is one of them.First off, it's clear this movie was just made in order to leech a little bit of fame from the horror classic "The Amityville Horror" and this fact is made clear by the reality that the story has no effort put into it. Every twist, turn, and plot development is formulaic, cliché and grossly predictable. Things aren't made better by the seemingly lack of technical filmmaking know-how as the lighting is horrendous, the camera work is barely passable for a Vine video, and the editing is chaotic to the point that simple sequences come off unhinged and nearly impossible to determine what is occurring. The final nail in the coffin is the terrible acting. Why it's expected in Direct-to-DVDs, there usually is at least one good performer that isn't looking like they were either random strangers pulled off the street, weren't being paid, or acted like this was there moment to chew on all of the scenery they could but this film had no one that was capable of looking even adequate in their role.There's a lot more faults to this film like a questionable set that is suppose to be a newer asylum, the pointless inclusion of scenes that feel like they were put there to actually get it to a feature length, and the director clearly not caring if the actors could actually pronounce the word "Amityville" but the reality is the film is just an exercise in bad filmmaking and the results are a tale that is equally boring and cringe-worthy. I tried really hard to find one good thing about it but I just found the whole ordeal to be taxing and the film to be below sub-par. t.

I love these kind of movies. I remember being a kid, and staying up all need terrified reading the book to the original. I have seen all of these from the beginning all the way up to the more recent semi documentary My Amityville Horror. I will say there is a bright point to this movie, and since it is the only bright point I will not ruin it here. It happens during the interview with Allison and Atkins. It was rather ridiculous, and something we are all truly afraid of. The movie is filled with characters that we are never really inclined to care about. Filled with lore that fans of the the series (because let's be honest no one else is watching these) already know about. The movie does come up with new random lore that has never been mentioned as far as I know anyway. Among the many problems that infect (not plague) this movie, are the unbelieving lines delivered by the main characters. The attempt at the end was appreciated but I for one could not believe that Allison really believed what she was supposed to, and therefore that took away from the entire final act.
