The Amityville Curse | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is Out of all the original Amityville, this one is the worst and the least memorable one. The others all had some kind of hook that made them special; an evil clock, an evil lamp, an evil mirror, an evil doll house or an evil Meg Ryan. This has nothing.

Audience Member Straszna słabizna. Aż oczy bolą. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A group of friends buys a dilapidated house in Amityville hoping to double their investment but it is haunted from the murder of a priest in a confessional 12 years earlier. The confessional is now being stored in the basement of the house. Nothing original in this one, just using the Amityville name to make some money. I was disappointed the story did not follow up on the potentially possessed tabby Pepper in California from the last film. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member If I wasn't told the name of this movie, I wouldn't have guessed that this was an Amityville film. It has nothing to with Amityville, it's practically just a low budget slasher film. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Here you go ... the worst of the Amityville series. In a fairly arbitrary series of films shoe-horned into being sequels to "The Amityville Horror", this is the most arbitrary and shoe-horned of the lot. It doesn't even really try to connect itself to the original house, it's just another haunted house story set in Amityville. Well, it's a pretty dreadful and boring haunted house story. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Yet another pointless and poorly constructed entry follows the first four films in this painful franchise. This is a poorly made film that doesn't expand the story in terms of offering something new for viewers. The acting is bad, the story is awful and the directing is unfocused. The biggest problems with these films are that they recycle so many ideas in order to create something entertaining, and it fails. That's the case with this entry as it is dull and boring and really doesn't have anything going for it in terms of an effective horror tale. This film is stupid and is underdeveloped. This is another train wreck of a film that is painful to watch and is among the worst of the series. It just goes to show that the films produced in this series are poorly done and there is no care taken to try and make something entertaining. This is a sequel that was rushed and it shows on-screen. There is nothing here to enjoy, only a mess from start to finish and one that genre fans will surely not enjoy. Don't go expecting anything worthwhile because you won't find it here. These sequels are bad, and there is not one ounce of quality material in the script to make this one standout. With a poor cast and a poor script, The Amityville Curse was another poor attempt in stretching out the ideas of this tiresome series into new territory. However it failed because the screenwriters have no talent or understanding of what makes an entertaining horror film. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Five people spend the night in an abandoned house, the Amityville haunted house, and soon find themselves terrorized by assorted ghosts, venomous insects and ghostly apparitions. It isn't like the Amityville movies I've seen. It's just not the same as the others :( Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
