Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
Amityville Cult begins with a solid hook: a young man is stabbed to death on a beach by a robed figure.
Following a time/location jump, writer/director Trey Murphy introduces the film’s protagonist Stanley DeFeo (Chance Gibbs). The name DeFeo is obviously a strong connection to the overall mythology of the original Amityville films, though aside from the name drop and the home that Stan inherits from his deceased grandmother in Amityville (not Long Island), Cult doesn’t have a ton in common to the other films in the “franchise.”
That’s not the film’s biggest issue, though. Like The Amityville Exorcism or Amityville: Mt. Misery Road, there simply isn’t enough plot here to justify a feature length runtime.
