This is one of the dumbest horror movies I have ever seen. I simply find it amazing that they keep making these bad movies. The backstory for this is weird, because it says it was based on a book. I know that the original film was based on a book that was revealed to not be based on true events as the writer claimed. So was this one based on true events? I looked in the credits and it said that everything about this movie was fictional. I can certainly believe it because no people in real life would act this stupid.
I believe this takes place in the same house as the previous movies, but I haven't seen all of them so I can't be sure. I honestly don't care to go out and watch every one of them. I'm only reviewing those that are somehow important and I saw this because of the extremely low rating here. How silly of me! This movie features a curse, but it has no curse in it at all. There's a few supernatural things that go on, but it's mostly a mundane story about a serial killer. Was the killer supposed to be possessed or something? As the fifth movie in the series, you'd think the townspeople of Amityville would learn their lesson for once.
The acting in this film is terrible. Almost all of the characters are obnoxious and serve little purpose at all. There's this weird old woman who keeps popping up and mostly serves no point. This has some of the most clichés I've seen in a movie in a long time. We get the sound of a cat, a spider appearing, a bathtub of blood, and religious imagery. "Amityville 3-D", while still a bad movie, at least tried to have something interesting happen at the climax. The woman playing Debra is particularly bad. I did laugh a few times at how pitiful it was.
This isn't for horror movie fans, Amityville fans, movie fans, or anyone at all. I'm surprised this didn't kill the franchise off for good. Apart from that, most of this movie is just plain boring. It escalates way too slowly and has no sensible characters in it. Oh, and I forgot the cliché of the ambiguous nightmares. They stopped numbering the sequels with this. They should have stopped altogether. *
