Amityville 3-D

Journalist moves himself and his family into the infamous Amityville house after a fake senace thinking all the rumors about the house are fake. Well....when his family starts to die and weird things begin to happen, he discovers that the house may be haunted after all. Horror film may have had some merit on the big screen in 3-D, but on video it comes off as slow paced, dull, and boring. Only point of interest is some early appearances by Lori Loughlin & Meg Ryan.

In the house where Sonny slaughtered the Montelli family, the reporter John Baxter (Tony Roberts) and the photographer Melanie (Candy Clark) disclose two charlatans, who cheated the persons pretending they were medium. The broker, who presently owns the house, is having difficulties to sell the mansion due to its fame, and John decides to buy the house by very low price. When he moves to the cursed place, many fatal tragedies happen with the broker, his daughter and his lover Melanie. This movie is very silly and boring. Its greatest attraction in the present day is to see Meg Ryan in the beginning of her career. The Brazilian DVD is a shame: it has a recent picture of Meg Ryan on the cover, and her name is highlighted as if she were the lead actress, showing a total lack of respect of the distributor with the viewers and consumers. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): `Amityville 3D'

The Baxtor family moves into the infamous Amityville House. Their daughter dies in a boating accident but the mother sees the now deceased daughter alive in the house. Mr. Baxtor calls a paranormal investigator in to help and the investigator finds out the source of the household problems. One of the last good sequels in the Amityville trilogy, with some _Bizzare_ special effects (Some times in a good way, other times in a bad way), a terrific cast, some genuinely scary and thrilling moments, and a good atmosphere and suspense built by the director. Pretty good entry in the notorious Amityville series IMHO. 6.5/10

This is not like the horror movies that were coming out around the time this was released. Everyone says how bad it is, but if this were made in the sixties, it would be one of the greatest horror movies of all time. It has awful special effects, but it contains ideas, like most good movies should. I suggest you rent, or even buy it if you stumble across a copy.

A new dimension in ultimate evil has been added to the story to what has probably become the world's most notorious haunted house in America.

A magazine writer's investigation into a séance turns to horror when an abandoned well beneath the basement floor turns out to be the gateway to hell.

This film starred: Tony Roberts, Tess Harper & Meg Ryan

In my opinion this wasn't one of best entries in the Amityville film series, not the worst but no where near the best. It had a bad plot about the gateway to hell being a well in the basement. 93 minutes wasted in my opinion, it had a couple of entertaining scenes but nothing special.

**/***** Poor.
