This film essentially begins with a Catholic priest in Amityville, New York taking confession at a local church, when an unknown person in the booth suddenly shoots him to death for no apparent reason. The scene then shifts to 12 years later with a psychologist by the name of "Marvin" (David Stein) buying the house where the priest once lived with the intention of renovating it to resell afterward for a hefty profit. So, after buying the house, he convinces a married couple named "Bill" (Anthony Dean Rubes) and his wife "Abigal" (Cassandra Gava), along with another friend named "Frank" (Kim Coates) to help him and his wife "Debbie" (Dawna Wightman) fix it up. As it so happens, however, Debbie has often had psychic premonitions in the past and upon setting foot inside the house begins to get the feeling that there is something evil lurking within. Not long afterward, all sorts of terrible things begin to happen which disturbs all of Marvin's friends--and things rapidly get worse the longer they remain there. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, although this movie certainly had potential, most of it was wasted due to bad acting and a couple of completely unlikeable characters--with Marvin probably being the worst. Throw in a rather long and cliched ending, and it's no wonder that the movie has so many negative reviews. That being said, other than the presence of Cassandra Gava, I didn't find much in this film that was even remotely interesting, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
