Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Blistering performances.

It's interesting to look back at when 3D had a boom in the early 1980's and was always included in the third installment of a series. Oh yeah, 3 for 3D. I have grown tired of 3D and agree with Roger Ebert that we should stop constantly use it. The 3D in this film seems very forced and it's very easy to tell every moment that was supposed to come out at the viewer. I didn't watch this in 3D, but in modern movies that use it, I've seen the versions without the 3D and these moments were never there. As someone who didn't care for the original "Amityville Horror", I wasn't expecting much. I heard this is considered to be the worst installment in the entire series and even fans of the other movies hate it.Having only seen the original movie, this is mostly just a retread of that. I know the original was based on a book that claimed to be real that was proved to be false. I have no idea if any of these numerous sequels were based on books that were themselves supposedly based on real life events. The original film received a Pigasus award from James Randi for lying to its audience. I was disappointed to find out this film did not receive a Razzie. Paranormal claims are bad, if only because they give us crappy movies! The worst thing about this movie is that the ghosts or spirits are represented by flies. Yes, they literally swarm and kill a guy in one scene. In another scene with a fly, they somehow cut the brakes of a car and set a woman on fire (!). It's as ludicrous as it sounds and is a waste of time, even for fans. *1/2

A new dimension in ultimate evil has been added to the story to what has probably become the world's most notorious haunted house in America.A magazine writer's investigation into a séance turns to horror when an abandoned well beneath the basement floor turns out to be the gateway to hell.This film starred: Tony Roberts, Tess Harper & Meg RyanIn my opinion this wasn't one of best entries in the Amityville film series, not the worst but no where near the best. It had a bad plot about the gateway to hell being a well in the basement. 93 minutes wasted in my opinion, it had a couple of entertaining scenes but nothing special.**/***** Poor.

Some people need a lesson on spooky houses. For John Baxter(Tony Roberts), it's an experience he will never forget! John is a reporter who is out to debunk the myth about the infamous house in Amityville. During the so-called seance in that place once owned by man who would later die after giving it to the reporter. Once he got the place, his partner discovers the horror of it, and would never return. The daughter (Lori Loughlin, before "Full House") gets a room, and have her friends to a seance with a homemade Ouija board. Following that, she would later lose her life in a boating accident. And they did find the source of the evil: A demon! If the house was that evil, why didn't they destroy it in the first place. With all the skeptics running around, that's always the thing. Evil houses especially the one in Long Island, should have blocked off, not used as a tourist attraction. Better yet, not used for settling in. Its history is so bad it should have been condemned. Nice movie there, a little bit on the silly side though. 2 out of 5 stars

I Will start of with the plot.Skeptical journalist John Baxter and photographer Melanieexpose a fraudulent medium who is operating in the infamous Amityville haunted house. Then John surprises Melanie by deciding to buy the house and live in it. John's estranged wife, Nancy is also surprised, then disturbed, when John encourages their daughter, Susan , to visit. The house attacks visitors with horrors that include insects and extreme cold and heat. Eventually, parapsychologist Eliot West comes to investigate.I remember seeing this movie for the first time, few years ago. there was only one scene that always stood out to me, it was scene where mother see her daughter go to her room, unaware that she had just drowned, this was only scene I could remember.I just re-watch this movie about week or so ago, I did seem to like it a lot better then the first time around, this time I could tell which part were for the 3D effect even in 2D, next time I will see this movie in 3D.First movie was okay, a tad over-hyped and the second was really good, which I think is very underrated,This movie wss really dull, this movie had nothing going for it, there no scary or creepy moment in this.it just felt flat from start to the end, like there no real story in it.it did pick up near the end with the explosions, which were really well done, those were okay scenes and the was really enjoyed watching.The acting was really good as well, from the whole cast.I will need to see this movie in 3D next time, without the 3D effect I am going to give this a 4 out of 10
