Amityville Death House (2015)

Excellent adaptation.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

It seems the Salem Witch (?) of Amityville was killed for ummm being a real witch. She curses the descendants of those that killed her. And apparently it is now time to kill them off. Eric Roberts reads from the limited edition "Evil Dead" DVD case that looks like a book as he flips cheap Rider Waite Tarot cards which causes the witch Abigail to enact her revenge which includes some college kids visiting grandma.This is better than many of the Polonia films out there believe it or not. One of the aspects of Polonia films is to have long vehicle drives with tons of useless dialogue filler. They gave us a break on this one as the drive didn't consume the entire film only to end with a rubber head of a dinosaur.The acting was bad, special effects needed help, and the plot didn't make a lot of sense. Eric Roberts phoned it in with one of the worse sinister laughs I have ever heard. What was that spider thing supposed to be?No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. I don't know who those women are on the front cover. No babes were filmed in the making of this movie.

Despite watching wall to wall dreadful Amityville films for some reason I had higher hopes for this one. I thought the cover art was fantastic, almost a homage to old B movies and I wanted to see what was going on with this big boobed spider woman! Alas I was foolish in my expectations and yet again this blatant cash grab failed to deliver on every front. And the spider woman? Well there is one, barely.....but that isn't her on the cover.With yet another baffling storyline, clear budget limitations and awful cast this can be put on the shelf right alongside all the other embarrassing Amityville efforts.The Good: Interesting covert art The Bad: Cover art is a lie Shoddy camera work Eric Roberts is just terrible here Awful deaths Effects are just pitiful Mysterious whispers have never worked Why cast Eric Roberts if you aren't even going to show his face? Things I Learnt From This Movie: Witch Cakes made of urine, Demi Moores next business venture?Witches are part cow and thus have udders

On the whole, this is a decently written screenplay limited by budget. It would be a better film if the actors were more capable (less awkward, more professional) save Eric Roberts who was the only bright spot in the whole dismal affair.I'm giving it 4-stars. I was going to give it three but Eric Roberts did a great job with what he was handed.

This is the eleventh Amityville movie. It is not very good. The Amityville horror is a lot better. Amityville II the possession is also better. Amityville 3 the demon is also better. Amityville 4 the evil escapes is also better. The Amityville cures is also better. Amtiyville it's about time is also better. Amityville A new generation is also better. The Amityville dollhouse is also better. This movie it not scary. The story line is awful. The acting is awful. The ending is awful. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this awful movie. I need more lines and I am running out of thing to say. This movie is awful. Do not see it.
