El culto de Amityville

I can not believe actors that can act is so expensive you take the first ones who audition, but it seems like it.

I usually give B-horror some chances. Thinking about budget etc I don't expect much, but this is just bad through and through. The plot is ok. It could have been good. The main character is among the worst actors I have seen. He was one of those read from the script actors. The others did not blow my mind either. They are in the right category with the B flick, but of course there's always room for improvement.

I will not recommend this at all. The good grades have to be from people who knows the writer/director or some of the actors. No one with an eye for quality will give this move a good grade.

I watched the film after having seen the budget. It's pretty good considering they made it on nothing at all really. I went into it expecting much worst considering.

From the script and acting, it seems more of a parody than an actual attempt at horror film. Just a giant waste of time, I was more perplexed at the horrible writing, acting and direction than scared while watching this film, its imdb rating fooled me, how it managed to score above 1 is beyond me. Not much of a spoiler but there is a whole sequence of the lead protagonist walking through the town, which serves no purpose at all towards the film story, just a filler scene with no purpose and the film is full of stupidity like that.

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.

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,
