Sickle

This film (also known as "Amityville-The Final Chapter") essentially begins with a 12-year-old boy by the name of "Michael Hart" (Logan Lopez) being arrested for the murder of a babysitter in his own house. Although he proclaims his innocence, the police refuse to accept his contention that a specter dressed in black and wearing a top hat dismembered the babysitter's body with a sickle and, for that reason, the court sentences Michael to 15 years in a mental hospital. Fast-forward 15 years later and Michael is now being released from custody with his uncle "Bill" (Dave Sauriol) there in the parking lot to pick him up. Naturally, realizing that Michael needs some time to adjust to his new surroundings, Bill does his best to give him the space that he needs to sort things out. Unfortunately, a woman who specializes in paranormal events named "Susan" (Renee Day) isn't nearly so inclined and does everything she can to force Michael to conjure up the ghostly apparition in every way she can. The problem, however, is that another person also wants the evil specter to appear for his own selfish purposes as well--and neither one of them have any concern for anybody else. Now, rather than reveal any more. I will just say that this film started out with a pretty good premise, but it became clear early on that the resources weren't there to capitalize on it as both the camera work and the script were both in need of serious improvement. Likewise, the actors all seemed to be reading their lines directly off of a cue card and none of them seemed to show any real talent or ability at all. In short, this was an amateurish production which doesn't have anything worth recommending, and I have rated it accordingly.
