Despite watching wall to wall dreadful Amityville films for some reason I had higher hopes for this one. I thought the cover art was fantastic, almost a homage to old B movies and I wanted to see what was going on with this big boobed spider woman! Alas I was foolish in my expectations and yet again this blatant cash grab failed to deliver on every front. And the spider woman? Well there is one, barely.....but that isn't her on the cover.

With yet another baffling storyline, clear budget limitations and awful cast this can be put on the shelf right alongside all the other embarrassing Amityville efforts.

The Good:

Interesting covert art

The Bad:

Cover art is a lie

Shoddy camera work

Eric Roberts is just terrible here

Awful deaths

Effects are just pitiful

Mysterious whispers have never worked

Why cast Eric Roberts if you aren't even going to show his face?

Being an Amityville fan I am often nightly offended when newbies make a 'movie' and try to cash in by using such a well known title such as Amityville. But I am still curios to see how they are made and if they have any connection whatsoever.

Well. Here we have a group of friends on their way to Amityville which seems to have relocated from New York to Canada. They are led by a girl on her way to visit her grandmother and when they arrive they find a book of the dead. And then you can guess the rest.

This is not a found footage film but you wouldn't think so straight away as it appears to have been filled on a mobile phone. The camera work is truly appalling. The acting from the 'actors' is so wooden I found myself tensing up as they spoke their dialogue, half expecting them to make a mistake.

The makeup is... Mashed potato. I think.

Sound editing was allover the place. Often the sound effects and over use of static noise would be so distracting you forget to try and concentrate on what's actually going on.

Directing was abysmal. Director tells a guy to laugh at a joke thats not funny. And he let's out an over acted laugh. Director asks a young 21 year old to act as if she's a bed ridden 89 year old. And she acts 21 covered in paper mache.

This film states that it's STAR is Eric Roberts. Sadly I never finished the film as I simply couldn't bear it any more. But I never saw him whatsoever. Maybe he appears at the end. But if so. Shame on him.

Every thing about this 'film' is truly dreadful. However. There is one good thing to come out of it. The poster.

This is the eleventh Amityville movie. It is not very good. The Amityville horror is a lot better. Amityville II the possession is also better. Amityville 3 the demon is also better. Amityville 4 the evil escapes is also better. The Amityville cures is also better. Amtiyville it's about time is also better. Amityville A new generation is also better. The Amityville dollhouse is also better. This movie it not scary. The story line is awful. The acting is awful. The ending is awful. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this awful movie. I need more lines and I am running out of thing to say. This movie is awful. Do not see it.

Pretty terrible Amityville film is as generic and boring as it gets. So many Amityville films now. This is a really awful one. What is Eric Roberts doing here?

On the whole, this is a decently written screenplay limited by budget. It would be a better film if the actors were more capable (less awkward, more professional) save Eric Roberts who was the only bright spot in the whole dismal affair.

I'm giving it 4-stars. I was going to give it three but Eric Roberts did a great job with what he was handed.

This is a Palonia brothers movie. When you see that name, you know what you're getting (or not getting to be more accurate).

Will there be a good script? No.

Will the direction be good? No.

Will any of the actors be even remotely talented? No.

Will the special effects knock your socks off? No.

Having none of these things can often lead to a great time while watching a movie (see: Neil Breen, Jim Wynorski, Andy Sidaris, Albert Pyun, Fred Olen Ray, etc, films for example).

And really, that's what makes the Palonia Bros so terrible. They can't even screw up in a way to make it fun. They just churn out these boring, awful films.

This one is no different. Avoid it. Go watch something by one of the guys names above and thank me later.

This film essentially begins with a woman being beheaded for witchcraft approximately 300 years earlier not too far from where the town of Amityville is now located. Fast forward to the present day where a young woman in college named "Tiffany" (Krysten St. Pierre) and three of her friends are traveling up from the Gulf Coast and decide to stop at the infamous house in Amityville to visit her sick grandmother. What they don't realize, however, is that a warlock (played by Eric Roberts) is busy casting a deadly spell intended for the descendants of those who killed the witch--and Tiffany is one of his targets. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film may have had some potential, but it failed miserably in that regard. For starters, it became quite noticeable early on that this was a low-budget production due to the mediocre camera work, bad makeup, poor direction and rather basic acting skills on the part of some of the actors. Admittedly, Krysten St. Pierre performed reasonably well and some of the CGI wasn't too bad either. Then again, there were other times that the CGI was just plain awful. Be that as it may, the bottom line is that this was not a good film and I have rated it accordingly.
