Ghosts of Amityville

The newest in the unending string of DTV movies slapping the Amityville name onto them sees a familiar villain coming from a new county.

8 year old Olivia is grieving the death of her mother as her father takes her to a remote cabin. Leaving her alone for work, she finds a clown stalking her. The rest of the movie consists of a number of sequences of the clown chasing her and her waking up just in time for the next sequence to begin.

With such a thin plot, it would be easy for this entry to become unbearably tedious, but a majority of the (very low budget) stalking scenes are done pretty decently, largely in part to the good costume and the young girls decent job of acting (she's by far the best of the small cast).

Speaking of the cast, before I saw on IMDB it listed as Spain, I was sure half of the actors were Irish while the father and daughter were Russian. They all speak English in the film but some, specifically the dad's boss and their aunt (I think?), had thick accents.

Honestly, unless you have some sick compulsion like me to see every Amityville-titled film, you're not going to like this one. It's essentially a families YouTube horror skit stretched to 74 minutes, but they do a decent job with what little they had and for where we are in the Amityville 'series' this one has been better than most of the recent dreck.

After her mother is killed in a horrific car crash, an 8-year-old girl named "Olivia" (Junie Liv Thomasson) is taken by her father (played by Jonas Thomasson) to live with her grandmother some distance away. Along the way, however, Olivia begins to have nightmares about a clown who stalks her everywhere she goes and may have been responsible for her mother's death. At first, her father believes that the reason she's having these bad dreams is due to the trauma of losing her mother. However, when he starts seeing that same clown, he realizes that he's a part of that same nightmare. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film definitely had potential but the plot relied too heavily upon having Olivia being chased from one scene after another--to the point that it became exhausting to watch. Likewise, the ending was much too confusing as well. That being said, this is not a film that I would necessarily recommend, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
