Amityville has been tagged onto plenty of horrors in an attempt to gain credibility and the majority have been terrible, this however is by far the worst.
Watching these 76 minutes was beyond a chore, it was cruel and unusual punishment. I believe in sitting all the way through a film, this is one of those times I regret it.
Hyper low budget with a fittingly poor cast, soundtrack, editor and director. The cinematography is some of the worst I've seen and the whole thing was painful to watch.
It tells the story of a priest called in to save a possessed girl in a house that contains some of the wood from the original Amityville house.
The movie has no redeeming qualities beyond the cover. Staring at that cover art for 76 minutes would be more entertaining.
The Good:
Great cover
The Bad:
AWFUL acting
Dreadful cinematography
Random flashing images are moronic
Hilariously bad soundtrack
Dumb, dumb, dumb
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Drinking Jager from the bottle during the day suggests the person is scummy.....or lucky

This movie couldn't even be rated as "B" movie, a low "Z" at tops. WOW can't believe someone even came up with this idea and then even had to balls to get "actors" (and I use that very loosely) to spend time on making it. Worst movie and acting EVER!!! I would not waste my time on watching this train wreck unless you need a good laugh. Movie looks like it was filmed on a Iphone at best. I think I need to go drink some bleach after watching this. How can someone even take credit for this and to think that Amazon charges for you to watch it? Maybe the video will end up in a bin at the Dollar Tree for fifty cents. I have lost all hope in humanity and anyone that would think this was a good idea.

The Amityville Exorcism (2017):
I hate all the Amityville B Grade movies.All of them are so terrible except Amityville Asylum which is also a bad movie but better than others.So I gave this exorcism a try.So how is it?
Plot: Terrible
Plus Points: Whaaaattttttttttt....No Way......
Minus Points: In every Possible Way..
So,Amityville Asylum is awful at all levels and simply a terrible watch.
My rating 1/10 (Please allow 0 option too)

There were definite budget constraints! In all aspects of the 'movie'. No acting budget. No writing budget. No technical budget. I think the front cover would have been the most expensive part of the whole production.
I watched it, as something on the side while I was working, and it quickly became a distraction, akin to the shrill of an alarm clock.
The premise is simple enough, much like previous Amityville tie-ins, official or otherwise. You remember the one with the haunted lamp, that's this, but imagine they couldn't afford a lamp, so they just made a piece of haunted wood... i'm not kidding! They should have renamed it 'Amityville: 2x4'. It quickly morphs into an elderly film students attempt at a tragic family, trapped in a poorly written Exorcist for Bible camp children.
The board game 'Atmosfear' had better special FX, they should of asked someones kids to do it, it would have looked better! I wouldn't waste your time on it really! Everything here has been done before and quite a bit better too.

Another film that was distributed by Wild Eye Releasing, the same company that's unleashed films like The Amazing Bulk and Shark Exorcist, yet this might be the worst film out of their entire catalog. This movie is such a disaster that the opening credits were made in iMovie. I'm not kidding, they use the exact same text effects that I've seen in the 2007 version of iMovie. There's also a lot of stock footage used in the movie as well, a lot of which I've seen on YouTube channels.
The problems with the editing doesn't stop there either. There is no color correction throughout the duration of the film, unless it was in the stock footage that they took for their feature film. Many of the scenes are either way too bright or way too dark, and it will either be distracting or laughable. There's also some random images that flash on the screen throughout the movie because... it's scary? Most of them are just a cheap attempt at a jumpscare, even when there's nothing suspenseful actually happening.
There's a scene where one of the priests (I can't remember any of the characters names and I don't care) is walking through a field and a picture of a skull flashes on the screen out of nowhere. That's how desperate this movie is to try and scare the audience. And when a movie is about possessed wooden planks, I can see why these were added. The intentionally ridiculous film Rubber makes more sense than this film.
The camerawork is some of the worst I have ever seen. There's a scene where the same priest is driving in his car and a bootleg monster from The Village appears, and there must have been no clear direction on set because the cameraman just shakes the camera all over the interior of the vehicle for no reason! It's not even handheld like a found footage film, it doesn't make any sense.
The sound design is awful, especially when Amy is swimming in the pool, and it sounds like they recorded the water splashing sound from 20 feet away. The music ranges from ripping off The Exorcist to tunes that make me wanna go deaf. Most of the actors in this movie read off the lines on the script with zero emotion. There's even a scene where Amy and her boyfriend are talking on the phone and it's supposed to be an emotional moment, but the boyfriend's actor seems unable to emote whatsoever and it becomes hilarious in all the wrong ways. The dialogue fares no better either.
The best part of this film is the cover, which is a lie as to the quality of the movie it's marketing. That and the few scenes that were so bad they made me laugh out loud, unfortunately those scenes aren't frequent enough for me to say it's worth seeing. The only scene I'd watch is the one where the red "demon" appears in a computer that they probably used to edit the movie, and the priest shoves the cross up against the screen and causes the entire computer to explode in a stock graphic, as that was easily the funniest part of the film. Other than that though, this is one of the few films that doesn't get anything right about film making, if you can even call it that. Consider this a 0/10, purely because I can't find a reason to give it a 1.

I watched thousands of movies in my life, started reviewing since five years, and said I would watch a movie from beginning till the end, no matter how bad it was, just to give a fair and honest review but in this case I just couldn't. It's only the second movie I couldn't watch till the end so you can guess how bad it was. From the first second you already know this is going to be bad. I made it for 30 minutes, and then I couldn't take it anymore. The acting is awful, I guess a family decided to shoot a home video with some locals and friends of them that were willing to give it a shot, just for fun. Absolutely nobody can act in this movie. The special effects, if you can call it that, could have been made by a five year old with some computer knowledge, but I think he would have done better. It's just terrible. The filming made me laugh in the beginning, but at one point it's just not funny anymore, it becomes just annoying. Rarely do I give a movie one star, but in this case it just doesn't even deserve a star. Probably one of the worst movies (I know I shouldn't call it like that, it's an insult to other movies), so probably one of the worst pieces of garbage I ever watched in my life. Avoid at all costs.

I dont write reviews often but i had to do it this time. I saw the 6 stars score on this film and i gave it a try.
ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I EVER SAW.
Seemed like it was filmed on a cellphone and every actor was just random guys they found on the nearest coffee shop.
So, dont let the score fool you and save your time. Unless instead of an horror movie you like to see a comedy.

Even low budget movies can be scary. but this one was just aggravation to watch, God help the future, for ideas of new films. get off all these reincarnated off-shoots. Amityville horror was a perfect low budget creation based on actual events. But this warmed over irrelevant nonsensical garbage is just wrong.

Need I say more? Some of the reviews were more entertaining than the movie. What's up with those "special" "mind" effects and the lipstick red outfit? I have to check into a bulimia clinic after just watching ~30% of this.
Ummmm.... is this legal? Can this be called a "movie"? Uhhhh so bad I guess it was good. We laughed harder at this than most comedies. This is a whole new genre; "Comorror". Good job for making the worst movie ever! If you are on mushrooms, this might be a good bet for a hilarious good time! ;) -3 stars

Clearly thrift shop costumes, and using a 80's style home for the set along with a old VHS camcorder to make this film.
If you are into derp, then this is your film.
