Movie Reviews of Amityville 3-DMovie Review: "Nihahahahahahaa! What a laugh! No, seriously, this train-wreck of a film is funny which is why I gave it 5 stars" Summary: 5 Stars
Compared to the VHS, this DVD actually has a clear picture, which is why the effects look so much worse. A lot of people say this movie isn't scary, but it can easily make a 6th, 7th and 9th grader scream, especially on the part where Melanie (Candy Clark) finds the demon's face in her photograph before meeting her distrubing, uncalled-for demise. I mean seriously? Why the hell did the director make the most fragile character have the worst death? It should've been that freaking pompus-ass John Baxter (Tony Roberts) who never believed in the house (train wreck of an actor too). Lori Loughin (from Full House) plays John Baxter's daughter Susan and Tess Harper plays the divorced wife (who I mistook her and Candy Clark for the same person when I watched the VHS way back when). Meg Ryan appears as one of Lori's classmates; one of her earlier roles (she looks really young) and Robert Joy is also in this, playing the "mad-scientist" character (he was also in the new 2006 version of "Hills have Eyes").
Don't take this movie seriously because the effects are bad. You can see this just by looking at the Opening montage when the crew members whack a tree branch at the camera and trips because he was eating a donut, ha-ha, very funny. That dried-up old witch who looks half dead anyways spits at the camera. The flies that killed off that obese agent were so fake like black circles floating around with fishing rods. One fly looks like a paper cut-out, layered with 3-D purple and appears twice. My god, so fake. Pause the movie when the swordfish flie across the screen, or rather pause it when you see it at all! You'll notice a string is attached to it in every single scene it's in. The blew up a toy house at the end of the film, the cheesy rubber demon in the toilet well only appears for 4 seconds and resembles the demon seen in the previous Amityville film.
Get this movie on your own will, whether you enjoy cheap horror films like "Mortuary (2006)" and grab a root beer float and popcorn and watch it with the lights off. The eerie cheap music should scare you enough.
Summary of Amityville 3-DThe home of unspeakable evil is back to torment all who cross its threshold, as Dino De Laurentiis and legendary director Richard Fleischer (Soylent Green) present "a horror picture of considerable class and polish" (Los Angeles Times)! Packed with bone-chilling special effects, this third rendezvous with terror in Amityville stars Tony Roberts, Tess Harper, Robert Joy, Candy Clark and Meg Ryan. To debunk the Amityville house's infamous reputation and take advantage of a rock-bottom asking price, skeptical journalist John Baxter (Roberts) buys the place and settles in to write his first novel. But as soon as the ink on the deed has dried, people who have come into contact with him Â? and the house Â? begin to meet with a shocking fate. Is it coincidenceÂ...or is this house really the gateway to hell?
