Amityville Cult

We watched this on Tubi. Film isnt masterpiece but it has its entertaining moments. Ive seen better but Ive also seen a lot worse. Good acting and storyline.

This was sent to me with some other films, I was willing to give it a shot despite having only a few films I consider good in the Amityville franchise (Or at least those using its name) that being The Original Amityville Horror, the 2005 remake, Amityville 2 : The Possession (My favorite), Amityville It's About Time and The Amityville Murders (A loose remake of Amityville 2). Those are all very well done and good. Like I said, With all the horrific and silly mass of films I would never even watch one of the sillier things (Amityville shark and Amityville karen and ridiculous stuff like that).

So when this dvd was in a few sent to me I gave it a go. I will say instantly I don't give high scores to any film less than 90 minutes so that's an instant point loss. But in its defense, the acting was ok, and this tried to be serious and tell a story. It wasn't slapstick or parody and embarrassing, it was a just a small indie film that tried to tell a little horror story and it was a decent watch. Not really any bad things to say about it, it did what it could with its budget and ability and I didn't leave it feeling like I needed to throw it away or out of my collection. So I'd say it was at least one of the serious ones and an alright watch. I gave it a 5/10 to help make up for the usual and typical troll scores well known to this site. In truth, I'd give it a 4.4/10 in honesty and for effort,

I give it 3/10 because it is obvious they have put quite some efford in making this movie. But it felt like going for 3 hours. It is not a slow burner , but it just felt long.

Script and plot are ok. Not overly complex, but there is the efford right there. They tried to make a story out of it. So in that regard it is no worse than some of the bigger budget old sequels. While the story is predictable, they even managed to deliver 1-2 tiny twists, and not cliché ending.

Acting is mediocre, but not terrible. I've seen worse (and i've seen worse in big classics.. yeah i know, i'll get thumbs down for talking bad about the nostalgic movies , whatever). While being mediocre, again they did put some efford. It is not amateur joke level as some of the Amityville movies we have recently lol.

CGI is bad but it's not very often so it doesnt strike you in the face :D Cinematography is below mediocre, at times even bad.

Overall, it's not the worst movie i've seen, watchable, but barely :D if that was popular movie or bigger budget movie, i'd give it 2/10 or even 1/10 .

Ok, so you you inherit a house in nowhere. That is actually is good shape. Then you start poking around and are noticed by the locals. All civil and like. Nice people, right?

Uh huh. Then, well, all hell breaks loose.

If you can put on your imagination caps and filter out the bad scripting, acting, directing, cinematography, etc. You can still get a descent nightmare out of it.

It's a low budget movie and I don't mind watching them. There are many low budget movies that are great.

This though........ The acting isn't quite there. The effects, script etc just FEELS cheap.

Found their Facebook posts about their trailer. A few excited people. Going to guess they're the ones who rated this.
