Amityville in the Hood

After a drug deal gone wrong, a gangster learns that his associates have stolen a crop of strained marijuana taken from the location of numerous murders years earlier and has infected the streets causing a wave of violence to be unleashed and forcing a detective to find a way of stopping it.

This one managed to be a bit better than expected. Among the better features here comes from the strong central storyline about the new cursed item escaping Amityville and arriving in the outside community. The means of the tainted drug escaping through the means of a gangster's turf war and getting sold on the streets behind the main gangster's back starts a frantic search for the mystical weed. On top of that, the resulting police investigation into the series of murders taking place there all combine together for a solid enough pretense of the main storyline here. As well, there are several halfway decent action scenes that come about here to provide some excitement to this. The opening gangland ambush and the various interactions between the gangster boss and his assistant offer up a decent enough setup to generate an idea of what's happening with the cursed strain getting loose in the community. Being shorter sequences, the longer battles here involving the possessed gang member snap and going crazy on the other gang members or the encounters following that involving the possessed individuals give off some longer scenes that are cheesy fun in this style which holds this one up. This one does have a few issues with it. One of the biggest factors here is a confusing setup to introduce the private investigator into the somewhat backward storyline. Between a call involving officers in different sections of the country, the wrong police officer reveals crucial information to the other when he couldn't have known about it due to geographical and time disparities, coming off rather awkward. There's also a series of energy-draining and momentum-stopping scenes showing off the low-budget and padding found here with the flashbacks to different films and music video montages keeping the action down. These factors end up being the main drawbacks here.

Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Language, Violence, and drug use.

Prolific trash-peddler Dustin Ferguson brings us his third Amityville film.

This time the script is basically if a high schooler from suburbia wrote a script about 'gangsters in the hood'. The F word is said constantly, everyone talks about drugs, there is a 5 minute scene where a guy haggles with a prostitute before she gets killed for giving poor head.

The plot is supposed to be about a load of marijuana that was grown in the Amityville house makes anyone who smokes it kill. What we actually get, like most of Fergusons films, is two people talking for minutes at a time about the plot. We also get a VERY long recap of his previous two Amityville films.

At least there's a kinda funny so-bad-its-good rap theme song.

For the love of God, how can you call this a movie. It's a comedy, a joke, anything but a movie. Lol I thought the title says Amityville, so I expected a descent horror film like Conjuring and Exorcist, but what I saw was the complete opposite. They should be sued for using a misleading title.

First off yes this is a real film. Well kinda. About a third of this film is footage from other Amityville films. Second this film is so damn awful it makes Leprechaun in the Hood look like an epic. I mean there is nothing remotely good in this film.

Jesus Christ! So it appears any mook can just take the Amityville name and slap it on to any piece of garbage they like.

Any time I see the word "Amityville" I know it is a movie that should be avoided like the plague.
