Amityville in the Hood

Just because you can put the word Amityville in any movie title and get people to watch it, doesn't mean you should! Somebody somewhere realised that the producers of the original Amityville films don't own the rights, or indeed anybody. As the Amityville Horror was based on a news article and/or true events. It's a non copyrightable subject matter, meaning any chump can make an Amityville movie. It's not even finished yet. This will continue. Amityville in the hood is a massive drag, there wasn't anything watchable at all. It only runs for 70 minutes, and 20 minutes of that is credits, another 20 minutes is some guy just driving round the "hood".

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.

This film begins with a couple of thugs entering the infamous house in Amityville to harvest a large amount of marijuana they had planted inside of it earlier. Unfortunately, after filling a large bag of their illegal substance, once outside of the house, they encounter another group of thugs from a rival gang who kill them and take everything they had. The scene then shifts to a police officer in Compton, California by the name of "Detective White" (Thom Michael Mulligan) being asked to investigate a series of bizarre murders resulting from what appears to be the product of a new strain of marijuana which induces homicidal behavior. Or something like that. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that the director (Dustin Ferguson) borrowed heavily from his earlier films "Amityville Toybox" and "Amityville Clownhouse" in the production of this film. And considering that both of these two films were extremely bad, I'm not sure that this was the wisest decision on his part. But I will leave that up to the individual viewer to decide. One thing I can say, however, is that Dustin Ferguson didn't learn much from his previous experiences because this film had the same basic faults as his previous films which includes bad acting, uneven audio technique, awful music and a completely ridiculous plot. That said, as far as his Amityville movies are concerned, the third time is definitely not the charm, and I have rated it accordingly.

This movie is the worst thing I've seen. The acting in the whole thing? Terrible. The CGI? Terrible. These movies have really taken their downfall and should stop making them. I would give this a 0/10 if it was possible, but sadly I couldn't give this piece of garbage the score it deserved.

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.
