I've been binge watching the Amityville films and they've ranged from below average to absolutely dire (More of the latter) I expected them to continue this trend until the end and then Amityville Terror came along.
With a name like that and a generic cover like it has I expected the worst but within moments I realised this was different.
For a start it has a budget, it looks great and has been well cast. Next it actually has a decent enough plot, far exceeding anything I've seen before in an Amityville film.
I didn't think that any Amityville movie would come out better than the original (And remake) but I can confidently say that this is the best of the bunch by far.
Don't get me wrong it's not perfect, but it's a well delivered effort and I personally enjoyed it.
The Good:
Decent opening
Competent cast
Good soundtrack
The Bad:
Fumbles a bit in places
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Clearly filmmakers think people don't know what the Amityville house looks like
There may be hope for the Amityville name after all
