Amityville Exorcism (2017)

Powerful

Fantastic!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

To begin with, the Amityville horror movies were not always the best. Far from it, really. However, this movie: with its horrible costumes: irritating "jumpscares": and lifeless actors, takes the f***ing cake. The intro itself should warn you that this movie is poorly made. I felt like I was watching a documentary with the film's terrible camera direction, I was waiting for the narrator to chime in the entire time. The actors themselves could not have done a worse job; the main "young, angsty teen" looks and sounds like she's in her mid-30's. The demon itself is an abomination; some guy with a red sheet and a solid red mask... You can even see his creeper-in-the-basement neck-beard. If you're hoping for plot, the foundation of the story is literally evil wood. Evil wood. Yes. The ending lacks any sort of satisfaction, except for the monstrosity finally ending. Don't watch this movie unless you genuinely want to torture yourself.

Someone kills a family with a hammer. Years later this same person confesses to a priest and asks the priest to go to a house to exorcise it. So because of demonic transference, some lumber ended up demonized and the house he's referring to was made with pieces of that lumber and it was the cause for him killing his family.At the house live Amy and her alcoholic dad. The priest makes it over there and as luck would have it around that time Amy start becoming possessed herself when a guy dressed in red appear, so the priest will have to perform an exorcism and the house and then Amy.Yup, Amityville Exorcism is a zero budget horror movie combining the fashionable exorcism sub-genre with the deceptive Amityville title. It has nothing to do with the Amityville franchise. It has that cheap camera look, weird synth sounds, cheesy visual effects, poor acting, etc. It seems to be a two-man operation. Yet there is actually some skill involved. The director seems to have an idea what to do. I was actually going to rate this higher because I thought that the crew didn't have a whole lot of experience, but it turns out the director has directed 39 movies in three decades. The first thing a filmcrew should know is when it's feasible to make a movie and when to put a project on hold. If you've been directing movies for 30 years, why come out at this point with a no-budget movie?

There were definite budget constraints! In all aspects of the 'movie'. No acting budget. No writing budget. No technical budget. I think the front cover would have been the most expensive part of the whole production.I watched it, as something on the side while I was working, and it quickly became a distraction, akin to the shrill of an alarm clock.The premise is simple enough, much like previous Amityville tie-ins, official or otherwise. You remember the one with the haunted lamp, that's this, but imagine they couldn't afford a lamp, so they just made a piece of haunted wood... i'm not kidding! They should have renamed it 'Amityville: 2x4'. It quickly morphs into an elderly film students attempt at a tragic family, trapped in a poorly written Exorcist for Bible camp children.The board game 'Atmosfear' had better special FX, they should of asked someones kids to do it, it would have looked better! I wouldn't waste your time on it really! Everything here has been done before and quite a bit better too.

This movie couldn't even be rated as "B" movie, a low "Z" at tops. WOW can't believe someone even came up with this idea and then even had to balls to get "actors" (and I use that very loosely) to spend time on making it. Worst movie and acting EVER!!! I would not waste my time on watching this train wreck unless you need a good laugh. Movie looks like it was filmed on a Iphone at best. I think I need to go drink some bleach after watching this. How can someone even take credit for this and to think that Amazon charges for you to watch it? Maybe the video will end up in a bin at the Dollar Tree for fifty cents. I have lost all hope in humanity and anyone that would think this was a good idea.
