This is a great horror film it has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also great special effects. The first 4 Amityville movie are very scary. This is the fifth one and it is better. I do not know why the got a 2.8. That is underrating it. I give 10 out of 10. It is a great horror film. Amityville dollhouse is better. But still this is a very scary movie. See it. It is one of the scariest movies from 1990. If you do not get scared then no movie will scary you. This is one of the scariest movie of all time. It is a must see. It is very scary. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say. Great movie great movie great movie. See it.

This is one of the dumbest horror movies I have ever seen. I simply find it amazing that they keep making these bad movies. The backstory for this is weird, because it says it was based on a book. I know that the original film was based on a book that was revealed to not be based on true events as the writer claimed. So was this one based on true events? I looked in the credits and it said that everything about this movie was fictional. I can certainly believe it because no people in real life would act this stupid.I believe this takes place in the same house as the previous movies, but I haven't seen all of them so I can't be sure. I honestly don't care to go out and watch every one of them. I'm only reviewing those that are somehow important and I saw this because of the extremely low rating here. How silly of me! This movie features a curse, but it has no curse in it at all. There's a few supernatural things that go on, but it's mostly a mundane story about a serial killer. Was the killer supposed to be possessed or something? As the fifth movie in the series, you'd think the townspeople of Amityville would learn their lesson for once.The acting in this film is terrible. Almost all of the characters are obnoxious and serve little purpose at all. There's this weird old woman who keeps popping up and mostly serves no point. This has some of the most clichés I've seen in a movie in a long time. We get the sound of a cat, a spider appearing, a bathtub of blood, and religious imagery. "Amityville 3-D", while still a bad movie, at least tried to have something interesting happen at the climax. The woman playing Debra is particularly bad. I did laugh a few times at how pitiful it was.This isn't for horror movie fans, Amityville fans, movie fans, or anyone at all. I'm surprised this didn't kill the franchise off for good. Apart from that, most of this movie is just plain boring. It escalates way too slowly and has no sensible characters in it. Oh, and I forgot the cliché of the ambiguous nightmares. They stopped numbering the sequels with this. They should have stopped altogether. *

This series has a few crappy STV sequels, but this one is the worst of the lot by a wide margin. It is cheap as hell, dreary looking, and extremely boring. NOTHING happens for the most part, aside from a bit of chaos in the finale, and even that was tame. I'm not an Amityville fan at all. There isn't one movie that stands out, not even the theatrical releases, except for Amityville Part II. This movie is approximately 87 minutes long. It honestly felt like two hours. I was pleading for the running time to move quicker. There isn't much gore and the makeup is terrible. We get a nasty cut on somebody's hand with broken glass, people get hit with nail guns. We get deformities on people's faces, and a little more. If I wasn't angered enough, they even play the start of the Psycho score during a lame Tarantula scene. It doesn't have much going for it, so it tries to use classic things. The house used in this one looks nothing like The Amityville house. It wasn't eerie in the slightest. There are far too many scenes of people wandering around the house with nothing happening. It was nothing but "Talk, talk, talk, talk, and more talk" Like most of these movies. I really question the motives. Why do they stay in the house so long, knowing very well something isn't right? Get out! it shouldn't take life threatening experiences to discern such a thing. The acting is awful. Kim Coates sleepwalks through most of it before waking up in the finale. He decides to ham it up. I didn't buy it at all. He also smokes way too much in scenes. Dawna Wightman (Debbie) is one of the most insufferable women I have ever had to endure a movie. Her constant sniveling and OTT hysterics made me wanna slap her silly. She over did it completely. Cassandra Giva is pretty sexy, but her character is stupid. I'm guessing Jan Rubes needed to pay some bills pretty badly, because it screams "Paycheck" role. The finale tries for controversy, to try to spice things up a bit, to no availFinal Thoughts: I hated this movie. It is the worst STV sequel in the series. That is saying something, believe me. It has no suspense, no thrills, and you'll be bored to tears. Stay away! don't put yourself through unwarranted torture.DUD

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/*****).
