Dianna C how can I write a review when I can't even WATCH the movie???? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Chris J The Amityville Murders - Not Rated (1h 37m) 2018 - Horror 1.5/5 stars So after "Mt. Misery Road" pretty much anything was going to be a step in the right direction. "The Amityville Murders" is a remake of 1982s "Amityville II: The Possession" which is a prequel to the original film. The Possession also happens to be my favorite film in the series so far. So needless to say I was pretty excited at the idea of a modern remake. Thats about where my excitement ended. This film clearly had a larger budget than most of the others but that budget didn't really help a lot. The actors in the film were for the most part more professional than in most if the "sequels" and the camera and cinematography was definitely more on par with a bigger budget film. The unfortunate part is that the story was a mess, trying to capitalize on the "true events" of the DeFeo murders but then throwing in all sorts of supernatural aspects that just made things even more confusing. The end of the film (and this isn't sarcasm) was the best part. It was a well done look at the murders and a flash forward to the original film. I wish that more of the budget was spent on sets, seeing the Amityville windows well done was a nice bonus but there were so many scenes that could've easily and cheaply been done with real sets that were instead done with iffy CGI. I was excited to see the "High Hopes" sign again! So I just started "Amityville Island" another (and hopefully the last ever Polonia Brothers Amityville film!) Thus far I haven't seen a single shark, nor any water. For having a shark on the front cover, you'd think they'd be a little more of the focus. #theamityvillemurders #amityville24 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/21 Full Review robert p What a horrible film this is capitalizing on the Amityville Horrors movies. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review hayden m Poor CGI used throughout. Confusing storyline. Great real life story ruined in this film Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This guy should stop trying to do Amityville. Nothing novel to his approach. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It was only a 98 minute movie but still seemed to drag on 15-20 minutes too long. Kinda melodramatic. If you like the original or it's sequel, or even the 2004 remake, then there is no reason to watch this. 2 of 5 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
