The film is ridiculous. Firstly, the interior of the home meant to pass for the historic, palatial and atmospheric DeFeo-Lutz haunted house on Long Island is clearly a modern townhouse or semi-detached. Most of the ...umm ...actors ...are completely wrong for the parts they play, mainly because the filmmakers just used the family members and friends they had available to fill the roles. The effects are beyond pedestrian and the storyline is not all that imaginative. This is not an "indie film", it's a home movie. This work is an attempt to grab a few bucks by exploiting the Amityville name before any potential viewers realize that it sucks and has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual events or location of the 1970's American haunting. I actually resent their perception of indie horror fans' as gullible and there to be exploited in this manner. This might be the worst movie I have ever seen.

While watching this movie i found myself slapping myself in the face because the main character Tyler has to be the worst actor ever. Watching this reminds me of clicking a cheesy Youtube review by a nine year old. The daughter and the father were being showed as what people would think a typical teenage and formal military man would act. the daughter having annoying out burst and the father yelling orders and then freaking out at the end. the only good actors were the mother and the youngest daughter. I know the movie is plotted out like paranormal activity, but the movie is like a crappy remake. plus its not even real because its not the real Amityville house. Waste of my Saturday morning, i wish i could get my time refunded.

I don't know why people have such a problem with this film. It's nowhere near as bad as some of the silly reviews here make it out to be. People complain about the acting. While the performances here are far from Oscar-worthy, they are still reasonably competent. Wanna see a case of bad acting? Check out Strawberry Estates for an example of some truly awful performances by the entire cast. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the 'found footage' sub-genre, but I thought this film delivered some genuinely creepy moments. It doesn't break any new ground or tell us anything we didn't already know about the history of the Amityville saga, but I enjoyed it for what it was. It's certainly hands down better than most of the Amityville sequels we've been subjected to over the years.

Spoilers for awesome. This movie is, quite frankly, one of the worst pieces of crap you will ever see. With the caveat that the Asylum is somehow making bank off said crap films. They generally make their money back off a given 'feature' in about two months, which is a pretty sweet turnaround. I'm not sure what this says about the future of quality film, but I don't think the guys at Asylum give two *beeps* about quality, so yeah. There was clearly (I hope) a lot of pressure put on the actors to improv their scenes but apparently the actors have no background in improv, so you are forced to agonize through scenes where everyone repeats themselves endlessly because they just don't know what else to do. And yells. And talks about how scared they are. The kid/documentarian is hands down the worst actor I've ever seen. Stop now, kid actor. I don't know who you are and frankly I don't care, but a future in film is not for you. Annoyingly without any ability to emote whatsoever, you'll be pleased as punch to see him buy the farm. Even though you're cheated out of said scene. The mom and both sisters are forgettable. They screech a lot. I don't know what else to tell you. The dad has delusions of being a real actor in a real movie. Dude, my hat is off to you. Were you trying to play your scenes as 'ex-military dude' or 'ex-military dude with over the top PTSD'? Your tour-de-force in the living room where you ranted and screamed and crawled on the floor as if you were in the trenches--massive, sir. Simply massive performance. Why did you take so long to die? Your ranting was both hilarious and douche-worthy. I doff my cap to you, good sir. Questions: Why did no one care about the serious as cancer military friend of dad's who got iced by the wire in the backyard? Who is the little boy ghost? Why doesn't the house have a boat slip like it's supposed to? Man, this family got the low-rent version of Amityville. No boat slip? I would have been RAGING. Finally, when you can't even be bothered to spellcheck your idiot coroner's reports at the close and I am forced to read about the 'extream' trauma suffered by the entire dead family, you bet your ass I will write you a *beep* review on IMDb. TEN STAR MOVIE MAKING, PEOPLE. TEN STAR.

I thought I would be soon over these stupid "Amityville" movies for Book Month, but there's always more of them! They just keep getting worse! This film once again starts by claiming it's based on a true story. For the umpteenth time, none of this was based on a true story and the author admitted to making the whole thing up! It was based on a novel, not a work of non-fiction! I hope James Randi cancels these films. This doesn't even have much to do with the actual Amityville story. There's a few allusions here and there, like the flies. This movie is dreadfully boring. It's basically trying to cash in on the "Paranormal Activity" movies and behaves exactly like them! Well, I guess a lot of found footage films act like this. The point is that new people are moving into the Amityville house and their son records everything weird that happens. There's a scene where a ghost just appears and does nothing for a full minute. I haven't seen every single "Amityville" so forgive me if I missed something. The ending is probably the worst as it features the dad going nuts and acting like an idiot. He's just beating up air in one scene. People are violently killed throughout the beginning of the film and the family still stays there! It's a pointless clichéd film and I'm glad to be done with these stupid movies. *

Prolouge: So we open with some dumb ass kids breaking into a house, to do what you might ask, well sex of course. Guess what, they get killed, hilarious movie, hilarious. They leave behind their iPhone with video of their deaths. Act 1 So a generic family moves in to the crime scene house. And of course there is a kid filming every thing. Heres my problem so far, the kid has already recorded supernatural events, and two people die in their first day in the house. And nobody thinks something funny is going on, oh yeah, and it's incredible stupid. Another thing you notice right off the bat, the camera keeps getting distorted and keeps making a ringing noise. That literally happens throughout the rest of the film, talk about annoying. There is a lot of pointless 30 second scenes here as well. But our main character ,Tyler is the biggest loser I have ever seen. He can't act even if his life was on the line. And he also video tapes his sister while she is getting naked, what an incestuous little freak. Then we are led to the back door opening segment. Act 2 Yes, this back down is literally the only thing that tries to scare you until the last 5 minutes of the film. All that happens here is conflict. The dad thinks Lori(sister) is sneaking out at night, so he sets up a wild home security system. Tyler enrages every one around him, he's like the paparazzi. Tyler finds the iphone which has magically hidden itself in under a counter-top. He likes what the kids are doing in the video, so he shows it to his parents, yeah I don't know why. The father is becoming increasingly psychotic. Lori is questioned harder, Tyler annoys every one, and the mom breaks down. So it turns out Lori was sneaking out when with some random boy, and they father puts him in his place. That teen boy is then killed outside by the ghost, Tyler records it and doesn't tell anyone. So the little girl of the family has been talking to a ghost for this whole time, but the father thought it was BS. That was until he saw the invisible boy on one of his camera monitors. Everyone is convinced there is a ghost. Act 3 So what do they do, why hold down in the house of course. With only two days left before the mom takes the kids out of the house (I don't know why they just didn't go to a hotel) all they have to do is stick together. So they sleep in the same room, except for Lori. All they have to do is stay together, but instead they all leave the room by themselves in the middle of the night. Lori is the first to go in a particularly graphic and painful way, poor Lori. Then the mom dies, because she seams to have forgotten there was ghosts in the house. The son goes looking for her, and he gets the axe in about the only have way decent jump scare. And lastly the little girl is now possessed and kills the father, that reminded me of Sinister, including her final words to her father. So the film pretty bad, but it was watchable, even if it was really stupid. Take it for what you will.

This movie is one of the worst movie's I have ever seen. It tries too hard to be like the 'Paranormal Activity' films, and fails miserably. The acting is very bad, to the point that I was laughing at parts of the film I shouldn't have been. The story is rubbish and the house isn't even the same house or even looks like the Amityville house. The effects are bad, just like the whole movie, and every time there is a death you don't even see it because the camera supposedly blacks out or it is just off camera. The only reason I watched this film up to the end is so I could give you a review and tell you to KEEP AWAY FROM THIS SH*T! All I can give this attempt at a movie is 1 out of 10.

Yes, it is as bad as everyone says. So get your buddies together and make it a game. Take a drink of water (or something) every time... * the camera blacks out so as not to reveal too much... uh... mundane- ness? What's the point of that again? * the camera records "Low Light" or some other message that shouldn't be there. (Try this. Get out your old camcorder and start recording. Go into low light or low battery or some other condition that would trigger a message. Then play back the recording. What? No message? That's right because that's only for display in the viewfinder at the time of recording, not playback.) * if you notice the camera that turns the screen green, but with no infrared illumination. Apparently it was an infrared camera without an infrared light. * dad shows signs of denial. C'mon, the door just opened by itself. * the kid recaps the days events without appropriate emotional response. "Le'see... my closet door opened up all by itself... I had a hot dog for lunch... oh, and someone died. What a day! I'm beat. G'night." * you find yourself laughing at the acting. Hey, this is supposed to be scary, not funny... or is it. Is this a spoof? * someone asks if anyone has seen anything weird, and no one mentions that three or four people died in the last three days, in separate events. Yeah that's not that weird. Accidents happen. * you wonder who wrote the dialog. Oh, wait... it wasn't written. There was no script. It's obvious that the whole thing was made up as they went along. Or at least no one is taking credit for it if there was a script. Please drink water responsibly. Drinking this much water could cause water poisoning.

This movie would be worth watching if the Kid wasn't such a horrible actor. On top of him being a horrible actor he has the Main camera the entire time. It was actually a great premise though, in the spirit of Paranormal Activity; but seeing the production company and remembering their failure "paranormal entity" I figured this one didn't stand much of a chance either. I was wrong this one was worse, if that's possible. The youngest daughter's performance was the only one worth anything. I really did buy her character and she did a great job with it. It's sad that the youngest character in the cast was the best. I would stay away from this one, unless you are an absolute horror fanatic and love the really cheesy / campy horrors. 1/10 stars - the one star goes to the youngest daughter - Great performance by her.

Yet another film made to look like "real" footage. The only way for these types of films to be truly successful is to actually believe the footage may be real. First, the "father" character is so poorly acted you cannot get past it. His behavior has no clear motivation. It is completely unclear whether the "house" is making him crazy or if he is actually crazy all by himself. Second, the film is about one of the most recognizable icons of haunted house stories in American lore. We never see a sweeping view of the house, to prove it is actually the Amityville House. The Amityville house has three stories, amazingly, the house in this movie only has two stories. Thirdly, just pass this movie up completely and watch something else.
