Amityville Cult

It's a low budget movie and I don't mind watching them. There are many low budget movies that are great.

This though........ The acting isn't quite there. The effects, script etc just FEELS cheap.

Found their Facebook posts about their trailer. A few excited people. Going to guess they're the ones who rated this.

We watched this on Tubi. Film isnt masterpiece but it has its entertaining moments. Ive seen better but Ive also seen a lot worse. Good acting and storyline.

This film begins with a young man by the name of "Stanley DeFeo" (Chance Gibbs) receiving a phone call telling him that his grandmother "Marie Cameron" (Micha Marie Stevens) has recently passed away and has bequeathed her house to him. Considering that he never even knew his grandmother, this news catches him completely by surprise. Even so, after conferring with his girlfriend "Crystal" (Lara Clapp Williams), he packs up his car and drives it to the small town of Amityville to check it out. Once inside the house, he comes across a diary his grandmother has written and, after reading it, he begins to have some concerns about the house he just inherited. However, it isn't until he goes back into town that he realizes that something very strange is going on--and he seems to be the center of attention. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I liked the overall plot of the movie which, if done properly, could have had considerable potential. Unfortunately, this was not the case here as most of the actors tended to be a bit more demonstrative than their scenes required. In more simple terms, a number of them over-acted with Eric Oberto (as "Asmodeus") and Tom Young ("Jeremy") probably being the worst. To be fair, though, the director (Trey Murphy) shares some of the blame--especially since he also wrote the script. Likewise, although the film never really mentions it, the scenery sure looked a bit more like Texas or New Mexico than New York. But what do I know? In any case, I don't consider this to be a good movie by any means, and I have rated it accordingly.

From the script and acting, it seems more of a parody than an actual attempt at horror film. Just a giant waste of time, I was more perplexed at the horrible writing, acting and direction than scared while watching this film, its imdb rating fooled me, how it managed to score above 1 is beyond me. Not much of a spoiler but there is a whole sequence of the lead protagonist walking through the town, which serves no purpose at all towards the film story, just a filler scene with no purpose and the film is full of stupidity like that.

I give it 3/10 because it is obvious they have put quite some efford in making this movie. But it felt like going for 3 hours. It is not a slow burner , but it just felt long.

Script and plot are ok. Not overly complex, but there is the efford right there. They tried to make a story out of it. So in that regard it is no worse than some of the bigger budget old sequels. While the story is predictable, they even managed to deliver 1-2 tiny twists, and not cliché ending.

Acting is mediocre, but not terrible. I've seen worse (and i've seen worse in big classics.. yeah i know, i'll get thumbs down for talking bad about the nostalgic movies , whatever). While being mediocre, again they did put some efford. It is not amateur joke level as some of the Amityville movies we have recently lol.

CGI is bad but it's not very often so it doesnt strike you in the face :D Cinematography is below mediocre, at times even bad.

Overall, it's not the worst movie i've seen, watchable, but barely :D if that was popular movie or bigger budget movie, i'd give it 2/10 or even 1/10 .
