Movie Reviews of The Amityville Horror II - The Posession
Movie Review: One Warped Little Flick
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one sick little horror movie. It plays out less like a haunted house film, and more like "The Exorcist"-Lite. In this film, we are introduced to the Montelli family, a family so messed up they make the mutant clan in "The Hills Have Eyes" look normal...and that is before the possession even begins. The loving father played by Burt Young in full "Paulie" mode from "Rocky" enjoys his cigars and drinks with a big old helping of abuse. He smacks just about everyone in a 10 yard radius of him throughout the film. You have the jeebus-freak Mom who manages to make almost every numbskull decision possible, all while hoping the local priest will come and bless this whole mess. You get a couple young kids thrown into the mix, which really gets disturbing as things play out on screen. And to top it off, you get a really odd pair of teens....who are close...I mean they get really close...as things unfold. What makes this truly disturbing it the fine acting job done by both Jack Magner as older brother Sonny, and Diane Franklin as sweet, but naive Patricia. As the story unfolds, you can't help but sucked into this sordid little slice of family life.
Of course, once the Possession begins, the family's only hope is the typical 1970's Hero-Priest, Father Adamsky. To be honest, I think the family would have been better off consulting a bag of doorknobs than this guy, who wants every "detail" of Patricia's sexual experience, and who decided to go camping with his "friend" in the middle of a parishoner's crisis?!
It may sound as though I hated this film. But that is far from the truth. I actually like this film better than the original. In all of it's twisted glory, "Amityville II" stays with you long after the credits roll at the end. Highly recommended for fans of 70's horror, plenty of atmosphere, decent special effects, and actually some really good acting carry this film along nicely.
Summary of The Amityville Horror II - The Posession
Before the residence at 112 Ocean Avenue became infamous in The Amityville Horror, its supernatural legacy of terror had already begun. Inspired by a true story, this chilling prequel is a bloodcurdling, special-effects-laden encounter with all-powerful, all-consuming evil. Although the Montellis are not exactly the "perfect family," at least they've found the perfect home. And even though a liquid that looks like blood gushes from the kitchen faucet and every window has been nailed shut, it still qualifies as their dream houseuntil all hell breaks loose! A local priest tries to rid the house of unclean spirits, but what he doesn't yet suspect is that teenage son Sonny Montelli has been possessed, body and soul, by a murderous demon bent on total destruction.Horror DVD Video
