Amityville in the Hood

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.
