While smoking weed with two of his friends, a young man named "Jim" (Parris Bates) happens to notice an ad on his computer for a house-sitting job that pays pretty good money. Curious about it, Jim responds to the ad and discovers that all he has to do is stay in the house for several days and basically keep an eye on an old woman named "Eunice" (Rebecca Kimble) who appears to be suffering from dementia. Naturally, considering how easy everything seems to be, Jim accepts the job immediately. What he doesn't count on, however, are the recurring nightmares he has whenever he closes his eyes--and he isn't the only one who is affected by them. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was yet another low-budget horror movie that slapped the word "Amityville" on its title in order to draw more attention. At least, I didn't see any connection to Amityville. But I could be wrong. Regardless, this film has a number of flaws, with the first being the rather confusing plot--with the nightmares or hallucinations never seeming to have any real impact on any of the characters involved. At least, not until the end of the movie. Additionally, although the script could have used some improvement, the acting itself wasn't too bad, with Parris Bates, Sydney Winbush (as "Alyson) and Airisa Durand ("Donna") performing adequately for the most part. But again, the rather incoherent plot certainly didn't help matters. That being said, while I don't consider this to be a terribly bad horror film, I honestly cannot rate it higher than I have. Below average.
