Amityville II: The Possession (DVD)

The name 'Amityville' brings two things immediately to mind. Firstly, an infamous fake/real bestselling book from about 20 years ago about a haunted house in America. Secondly, one of the worst franchises in horror film history, which somehow managed to vomit forth no less than 9 episodes. The series truly reached its nadir in 1996, with the almost unbelievably bad killer fly tale 'Amityville: Dollhouse'. 'Amityville 2: The possession' is undoubtedly the best of the series, and is actually a very good film in its own right.

OH MY DAYS Why oh why do movie producers insist on churning out 2-nd rate sequels? There was SO no need for this movie to have ever been made - It basically just tries to repeat the story of the 2st movie (I KNOW this is, like, the whole point of the movie, but seriously - why bother???). Also, Im guessing that make up and prosthetics had moved on a little since the 1st movie as we are treated to an unspectacular scene towards the end involving what I can only assume to be a member of the muppets cast that got fired for being too ugly or something. Also, I HAVE to mention the acting... were these people told it was a spoof when ...  Read the complete review
