Amityville Scarecrow 2

Released a year after the original Amityville Scarecrow,

We open with over 10 minutes of two people arguing about working at the camp that was in the first film, we get two basically offscreen kills.

Despite a new writer and director, the two estranged sisters and the ones daughter return to the movie. In a pinch for money, they've decided to open the campground that their family members were slaughtered on.

As with the previous film, and most of these low budget UK films from ITN, the next hour consists of very languid conversation scenes with the scarecrow popping up occasionally to bump one of the unlikable cast off.

With the release of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, ITN proved they can deliver something decent when they put a bit more money into things, but dreck like Amityville Scarecrow or Curse of Humpty Dumpty are slogs to get through, with the producers hoping that the ludicrous title and admittedly great cover art will be enough.

Production is per usual acceptable, especially compared to the American Amityville films being released lately such as the horrid Amityville Hex that just consists of people recorded on their webcams. The loud sound floor that was in the first Amityville Scarecrow is still there in the exterior scenes. Gore is still nonexistent, with kills either offscreen or blood splashes. They did include several scenes of nudity this time.

For Gods sake no part 3.
