Amityville Death House (2015 Video)

Being an Amityville fan I am often nightly offended when newbies make a 'movie' and try to cash in by using such a well known title such as Amityville. But I am still curios to see how they are made and if they have any connection whatsoever.

Well. Here we have a group of friends on their way to Amityville which seems to have relocated from New York to Canada. They are led by a girl on her way to visit her grandmother and when they arrive they find a book of the dead. And then you can guess the rest.

This is not a found footage film but you wouldn't think so straight away as it appears to have been filled on a mobile phone. The camera work is truly appalling. The acting from the 'actors' is so wooden I found myself tensing up as they spoke their dialogue, half expecting them to make a mistake.

The makeup is... Mashed potato. I think.

Sound editing was allover the place. Often the sound effects and over use of static noise would be so distracting you forget to try and concentrate on what's actually going on.

Directing was abysmal. Director tells a guy to laugh at a joke thats not funny. And he let's out an over acted laugh. Director asks a young 21 year old to act as if she's a bed ridden 89 year old. And she acts 21 covered in paper mache.

This film states that it's STAR is Eric Roberts. Sadly I never finished the film as I simply couldn't bear it any more. But I never saw him whatsoever. Maybe he appears at the end. But if so. Shame on him.

Every thing about this 'film' is truly dreadful. However. There is one good thing to come out of it. The poster.
