Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
It’s time to finally cross the last Amityville title of 2022 off the list and what better title to close out the year than Jt Kris’ Ghosts of Amityville aka Amityville Clown (2022)?
This one is a bizarre little oddity. Not only is it the first Amityville film made in Spain, but it bears an uncanny visual aesthetic to the Hell House LLC films.
Yes, principally because the main antagonist is a vaguely threatening clown credited as The Thing (Juan Ramos), but also because the characters seem to be trapped in time and place by surreal dream logic. Not unlike the Abaddon Hotel, the characters of Ghosts of Amityville are stuck in a kind of supernatural Purgatory.
The film opens with a montage...
