Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
Part of the structure of this editorial series is working through the Amityville “franchise” in chronological order, so it was surprising to discover that Amityville Cop (2021) wasn’t listed on the Wikipedia list of titles.
Turns out Amityville Cop is something of an Amityville Prison (aka Against the Night) in which the word “Amityville” is never spoken and there’s no concrete connection to any of the other films. Sure, there’s a Satanic cult who dress in red, but there are none of Dustin Ferguson’s masks like Amityville in the Hood and the cult leader, Empress Ciara (Laurene Landon), has no back story that connects to any of the other villains in the “series.”

Set in Russia in 1918, The Tsarevich tells the moving story of Prince Alexei Romanov and his battle with conscience, illness, and harsh reality during the Russian Civil War. It’s an ambitious and complicated topic for a short film to tackle, but director Geoffroy Faugérolas was apparently more than up for the challenge. In its fifteen minutes, The Tsarevich manages to both intensely capture interest and create genuine emotional investment. It’s a powerful piece of character focused filmmaking, and I’ll be watching with interest to see how it fares at upcoming film festivals.
