Amityville in the Hood

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.

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.

Sure, I wasn't expecting this 2021 horror movie titled "Amityville in the Hood" to actually have a snowballs chance in Hell of being good, but I still sat down to watch it. Why? Well, because I believe in giving a movie a fair chance. And who knew, maybe writers Jerimiah Douglas and Dustin Ferguson had something up their sleeves.

But no, there was nothing there, and "Amityville in the Hood" was every bit as pointless and ridiculous as I had initially expecting it to be, and then some. It is hard to comprehend why movies like this actually come into existence. I mean, the storyline and concept in this movie was just downright horrible and laughable.

And as for "Amityville in the Hood" being a horror movie, well that might be stretching the term horror quite a bit. Well, unless you consider the lack of a proper script as horror, the total absence of acting talent as horror, or the whole ludicrous concept that is "Amityville in the Hood" as being horror.

Visually then "Amityville in the Hood" was bland, so horribly, horribly bland. The special effects were special alright. And I don't mean that in a good way. It is so bad that it has to be seen and heard to be believed.

The acting performances in "Amityville in the Hood" were rigid, wooden and amateurish. At least I hope the actors and actresses that performed in the movie were having fun making this. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that is usually something that works in favor of a movie. But with "Amityville in the Hood", not so much. Because the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with here.

If you enjoy horror movies, just slither on to the next one in line, because "Amityville in the Hood" simply isn't worth squandering your time, money or effort on.

My rating of director Dustin Ferguson's 2021 horror movie "Amityville in the Hood" lands on a staggering one out of ten stars.

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.
