Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is the sixth Amityville movie. It is scarier then The Amityville horror (1979). It is scarier then Amityville II possession It is scarier then Amityville 3 the demon. It is scarier then Amitvyille 4 evil escapes. The Amityville cures is scarier. The Amityville dollhouse is also scarier.The Amityville horror (2005) is also scarier. Still this movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very scary. It is one of the scariest movie from 1992. See it. If you like horror movies you will like it. 4.4 is underrating it. I give it 10 out of 10 it is a great movie. I think people do like this movie because it is a sequel.

Finfrosk86 I read this in depth review of all the Amityville Horror movies, and it said that this was one of the very best. It also said that most of them were very bad. After I saw this I understand that the others must be horrible. Because this is not very good.The plot is strange, and in the end I'm not really sure I understood what had happened at all. Hah, weird.It is not scary. Not hugely entertaining, just OK. Which is why my score is 5. In the middle. OK. Meh. It has got some charm here and there, a little humor, but honestly not much sticks out.I am very fascinated by horror movie series, with countless sequels, it's just interesting to see how they develop. Unfortunately, this movie series is pretty darn boring. And every movie has less to do with the Amityville-house than the last.I do really like the remake with Ryan Reynolds, though. That one is pretty solid. And the original is OK.

bh_tafe3 The most satisfying resolution that the makers of this film could come up with was for none of the film to have ever happened. That really should have told them something.An architect named Jacob gets invited out to Amityville and is commissioned to build a timeless town. He comes home to relay the news to his hot ex-girlfriend Andrea (Baywatch's Shawn Weatherly) who is babysitting Jacob's hot daughter Tina (a 23 year old Megan Ward playing a teenager) and his son Rusty. And for some reason he decided to rummage through the remains of an "Old House in Amityville" (can you guess which one?) and found a vintage clock that is "just what the house is missing." Fair to say that Jacob is a weird guy.The clock starts ticking disconcertingly loud and Rusty discovers another strange thing: whenever you get up in the middle of the night and flick the light switch on the room turns into an old school 1800s vintage torture chamber, that is until the light blows. The next day Rusty skips school so he can tell the strange woman next door about the torture chamber. She explains to him that there is an evil in the house that has nowhere else to go because where it used to be is gone. That's about the closest we're going to get to exposition methinks.Jacob gets mauled by the neighbour's dog that same day after his wrist watch stops working, basically so something weird can happen around the idea of time and to give babysitter Shawn Weatherly an excuse to stay in the movie to nurse Jacob back to health. Anyway they ring the neighbor to find out if the dog had been vaccinated, when she reveals that the dog had not been out that day. They are doing an OK job of building weirdness here.From there things get weirder and weirder and people (and dogs) start dying. Megan Ward runs around in her underwear and right at the very end of the movie, we end up back at the start where Jacob comes home with the clock, Andrea remembers everything and smashes the clock. Jacob asks "What was that all about." "It's about time!" Amityville: It's about time really isn't a good film. It's lame, pointless and everything about it from the performances, to the dialogue, to the direction is so clichéd and unengaging. There are worse films you could watch, but that really isn't saying much. Ultimately.......It just isn't worth your time.

Cole_Early This one is probably one of the better sequels, and though it doesn't really live up to the classic standards, it sure packs a punch.Unlike the fourth and seventh and eighth sequels, this one delivers far more suspense, though a lot of it is typical and expected, such as the declining sanity of the buyer of anything related to Amityville. But it's well-done/well-put-together, and the idea of an Amityville-possessed clock is far more ominous than a stupid lamp, mirror, or a doll-house, you've got to admit.It even has some real gore thrown in there... what a surprise... Also, this is the first Amityville that really relies on lies, cons and deceits of people and how things like that can tear families and attachments into shreds.It's a decent sequel, I suppose.
