Amityville: Where the Echo Lives

It's been over an hour, and nothing has happened. I had to speed it up to 2x. The pacing is unbearably slow, making it hard to stay engaged. The screen is constantly filled with abstract, artsy blocks of text that seem designed to add depth but don't actually contribute to the story. There's no suspense, no scares, and nothing that would make this feel like a true horror movie. Instead, it comes across as dull and pretentious, trying too hard to be artistic while forgetting to entertain. I wouldn't call this horror at all, and it's definitely not worth the time. I'd suggest skipping it since it's too boring.

Watching this film and waiting for something to actually happen is akin to watching paint dry. I mean, there's more entertainment value watching two hours of QVC home shopping than this. It's in no way related to any other Amityville film or story as far as I could tell. That said, even losing the branding on its title still wouldn't help anything out, it's not a piece of work that can stand on its own at all.

I honestly don't know what the plot of the film is because it gets so boring and nothing happens, even the most dedicated viewer tunes out. I don't understand the director or producer's motivation for even making this film as I doubt it would be successful as a quick money grab even in second run theaters.

Even watching it for free on a free streaming service was a rip off. When someone figures out the point of this film or what message it's trying to convey, please comment it.

I just watched it because the reviews were bad... and it was really bad indeed. Dull, uninspiring and nothing was really interesting - not the story, not the characters, not the scenery... Even the girl that wants to investigate the place seems to talk about so-called scary things like she is doing a book review on a dictionary.

I hope this was a high school project of a few students that had to make a movie without spending a single dollar and bringing in friends as actors...

If you also consider watching this movie because you want to know how the movie was - please review your life choices and put this lower on the list.

Someone had to purposely make the movie this bad, for it to be this bad. Flossing my teeth during the movie was the most entertainment I had. Hiring cats to play each part would have provided better acting, and a better script. That's right, at least then, the director would have had an excuse for the epic failure, or perhaps success had there been actual cats playing the parts. If I had to watch it all over again, I'd plan ahead to have my eye doctor dilate my eyes and then I'd turn the volume all the way down. I suppose, it could have been worse though, had the movie been 2 hours instead of 90 minutes.

The only reference to Amityville is in the title.

Terrible script, questionable acting, really no explanation of most of the scenes.

Clips from old scary movies, the City, a Teapot boiling, etc, etc.

Lots of nothingness paired with odd shots of senseless, unrelated things that I'm sure mean something to someone but it's not us, the viewers.

Perhaps a good entrance for Drama or another form of Actiing for Students, Camera and/or Sound Techs but this is not a Movie that should have been put up for Pay per View. I'm contemplating asking not only a refund, but compensation for the time spent watching.

Again, great attempt for beginners, Students and such but this should not have been presented as a Horror PPV.
