Amityville: Where the Echo Lives

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.

I know that this can sound overdramatic, but this is definitely one of the worst movies I have ever watched! I have watched thousands of horror movies in my life, but I have never been subjected to the to ridiculousness that is this movie before.

One big gripe I have is that the screen goes to black for over a minute multiple times throughout the movie. It makes no sense whatsoever and you have no idea why. Also, you have to read basically a book when you're watching this movie. There are sections of it where you have to read so much it makes your head hurt.

I would not wish this movie on my worst enemies because I'm not that sadistic and mean! I have no idea why they call this Amityville because it has nothing to do with the original story. Do yourself a favor and run. Don't walk, run get the hell away from this movie because if you don't, you're gonna have extreme brain rot!

I have no idea how this movie got green lit and made because it is arguably the worst movie I've ever seen! Watch at your own risk!

This is probably the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. It has some seriously bad acting, no real chemistry between the actors, also seems like the audio is dubbed. This movie is what you would expect from school students. It's basically 40 minutes and 5 seconds of my life I will never get back, because literally that is all I could take of rhis movie. Don't waste your time on this trash. Nothing good actually happens in it. Get way more entertainment watching paint dry.

Garbage, Garbage, Garbage, totally and utterly garbage, oh, did I mention totally Garbage?

Unskilled director, Unskilled actors, SERIOUSLY I'M NOT LYING, THERE IS A LINE IN THE MOVIE, "NOTHING IS REALLY HAPPENING"

YOU DON'T SAY! NOTHING AT ALL IS HAPPENING IN THIS MOVIE.

The only thing scary was how bored I was. It was like it was trying to be scary, artsy, and everything else all at once and it positively crashed and burned. Full disclosure after sitting through 50 minutes I fast forwarded to the end. You can tell the main actress really tried but the poor writing and direction of the whole film really tore it all down. Normally you can laugh at B-rated horror movies but it was so dull you couldn't even do that. The filming styles also constantly changed same with the voices somehow. Some points absolutely made no sense as to why they were in the film in the first place. Just...save yourself the time and pass on it.

Of course I had never heard about this 2024 horror movie titled "Amityville: Where the Echo Lives" prior to sitting down and watching it. And truth be told, I harbored zero expectations to director Carlos Ayala, as the majority of movies with the word 'Amityville' in the title is pure rubbish.

And true to formula, then "Amityville: Where the Echo Lives" was a lousy horror experience. The narrative in the movie moves forward with absolutely no momentum. In fact, it is slow paced that it feels as if it was actually going in reverse. And whatever script that had been churned out for director Carlos Ayala to bring to the screen hed zero interesting contents. There was nothing scary to be seen anywhere in the movie, well, not unless you consider a monotonous narrative and shallow script as scary.

Of course I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in this low budget attempt of a horror movie. And while I usually do enjoy watching unfamiliar talents and faces on the screen, it just wasn't the cast with this movie, because the script was ridiculous and the acting performances were wooden, rigid and devoid of emotions.

Do yourself a favor and give "Amityville: Where the Echo Lives" a wide berth. It just simply isn't worth squandering 89 minutes on watching. Some of us suffered through this dung heap, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of director Carlos Ayala's 2024 horror movie "Amityville: Where the Echo Lives" lands on a generous two out of ten stars. I would have rated it a mere one star, but at least the production value of the movie was good enough to drag it up to a meager two out of ten stars.
