Movie Review: Amityville Haunting



Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you've come across this blog.  Today I'm checking out the found footage horror flick Amityville Haunting.  Over on IMDB it has a 2.8 as of 6/15/16.  "This movie is a 'found-footage' film about the Benson family who move in to the infamous house where the DeFeo family were murdered in the 1970s over 30 years earlier. Things start ..."  It stars Luke Barnett, Casey Campbell, Devin Clark.

  • Has the evil returned?  32 years later?  This is real huh?
  • So the house is empty
  • Five universal codes huh?
  • The evil spirit is against sex tapes huh?
  • Well that escalated quickly
  • That dad is a douche
  • Actually both parents are kinda douchey
  • And the brother sure likes to videotape his sister
  • John Matthews?
  • These guys don't know about the Anmityville house?  Never heard of movies I guess
  • Found footage flicks are really starting to loose their appeal to me
  • Wow a lot of people randomly die in this flick
  • Wow mom is being pretty open to her teenage son
  • Should have known this was yet another Asylum flick!
  • That is her trying to stay calm?
  • How did the realtor die?   No explanation at all huh
  • On the realtor died of an aneurysm
  • That isn't a ladder sunshine
  • Really getting tired of the static shot
  • 3:15 is when what all started?
  • The dad is a complete jerk!
  • This flick is pretty damn boring
  • How did the cop know the kids name?
  • So he doesn't know this cop?  They seem awful friendly
  • Not my department?  
  • First cool thing happened, the door opened for the little girl
  • How is this flick so boring
  • Dad going crazy wasn't hard to miss coming
  • How did they not hear that screaming?
  • Bye bye mom
  • Worst death scene....ever?
I watch a lot of bad movies and this is one.  I give it a 1/10.  

I really have nothing good to say about this flick.  It was nearly 90 minutes with very little action and mostly bad acting.  

I would go on more about it but honestly you name it it was bad in this flick.  Even the camera work was poor with the blackout/static/interference effect overused.

I guess if I want to be nice the door opening and closing effect was done well but that sure isn't enough to say watch this flick

In fact I would say avoid this flick.  Avoid it, avoid it, avoid it!  

I am not even going to bother finding anything but the cover for this flick.  It was flat out BAD!
