The Amityville Terror

This is a great movie. It is very scary. This is part 16 to the Amityville series. It is a lot better then the 15th one Amityville no escape. That is not very good. Part 19 to the Amityville series Amityville awakening is better. But still this is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. If you like horror stories you will like this movie.

man,this thing was awful.brutally awful.bad acting.bad writing.bad everything.it was not realistic.the characters were not believable in the slightest.this film uses the tag line "based on true events".that is such a cliché nowadays and means absolutely nothing.it is simply a marketing ploy to lure consumers in.there's really not a lot of positive things I can say for this piece of work.i just found the whole thing ridiculous and tedious.of course that's subjective.others may find this to be good movie.i did see a positive review on this site.the current rating of this movie on this site is 3.3/10.but for me,Amityville Terror is a 2/10

My quick rating - 4,5/10. Just a standard demon in the house movie. It deeps into every cliché possible for this. Not saying it is done poorly, it is just there. The stereotypical characters of a small town are all present, usual romance, and people who don't leave a house that is clearly out to kill them. Expect everything you have seen before so if you enjoy these types of movies, it is just fine. One thing that really bothered me, the massively cheap, amateur burn effects. I swear for an extra hundred bucks they could've bought the upgraded plugin to make it look a bit more real then the free version they used. This distraction aside and you have a mediocre flick that won't bother you or make you want to see more. Bring on Amityville The Awakening.

I went into this with hopes of it being decent. As I've always been a fan of the Amityville films since I was a young kid. However, this left me cringing. Painful cringes. I thought my bones would snap from how hard I was cringing. The acting is terrible. Actually, terrible isn't even the right word for how bad the acting is but it's the best one for now. The characters are unlikable. The pace of the film is excruciatingly slow. It's just all around, BAD. If you are a fan of horror then my best advice is to Stay Away From This Film. Stay FAR Away! Rob Zombie makes better horror than this. And THAT'S saying something.

The only good thing I can say about this Amityville movie is the actress playing the mom is very hot. Everything else sucks. Story stinks, acting is terrible, direction is juvenile. Women in their late 20s and early 30s playing high school kids?? An entire town that is evil? Nothing about this movie bears any resemblance to the original story although supposedly this takes place in Amityville. Boring, boring, boring. How did this movie get made?? How can the cast consider themselves actors and actresses? Like I said the mom is very good looking but other than that I had zero interest in this. Seems entertainment industry makes films to feed their own egos because nothing about this is worth watching. Like much of today's films this one just plain stinks and insults the audience's intelligence.

Why? That is the question. Why? I am a huge follower of anything relating to the Amityville Haunting case, especially 112 Ocean Ave. This movie has NO RELEVANCE whatsoever to this topic. It seems that they added the name Amityville into the title to encourage people to watch. I wouldn't bother! I bet the Defeo and Lutz families are turning over in the grave at this awful movie. Poor acting Poor story lines Poor everything. If you are looking for a scary, jumpy haunting movie, them I am afraid this is not what you'll be looking for. I was very excited when I sat in the movie theatre seat, coffee and popcorn all ready. The curtains opened, the lights went down, and the hairs on my neck stood tall. Fast forward half hour, and people around me were not taking any notice, nodding off to sleep, some even yawning.

Maybe I'm just a bad judge of movies- but I enjoyed the movie a lot. It definitely can be watched without prior Amittyville movie knowledge. This movie had a lot of different elements that made it enjoyable to watch- awkwardly funny interactions between characters, sex, jump scares, slight humor, etc. I don't think it was the best movie but I don't feel like it was a complete waste of time- worth a go in my book
