HORRORible: A Real Drag!
21 April 2005
Bizarre and insensitive re-telling of the DeFeo case, Amityville II plays like two different movies. The first hour, while partially funny, has an engaging incest plot line, which of course is in the middle of this muddled house horror. The last 39-minutes, however, drag on and on as a cheap rip-off of The Exorcist. I was happy laughing at the books flying and the wife overacting by a billion fold. This movie takes 10 minutes to follow Ronald DeFeo around as he looks over his shoulder at NOTHING! The directing is shabby at best, with ridiculous zooms and shabby camera work. The only thing worth seeing this for is the pretty girl that plays the sister (and a convincing 14-year old). Besides that...Skip it. Please.
