I'm a generous reviewer because I find that most people are way too negative these days. With that said, this isn't a very good film. Not the worst I've seen but just too boring. We've seen and heard it all before. Over and over and over again. I kind of liked the ending. It felt more like a "Paranormal Activity" ending rather than an "Amityville" one. My poor mother feel asleep a couple of times during the movie which isn't a good sign. I have yet seen any movie surpass the original "The Amityville Horror" or the 2005 remake. They obviously have better budgets and actors but come on. I think the child actors did the best job in a sort of boring film.
I really dislike 'found footage' type shows. After Blair Witch, everything else seems so predictable and scripted. But I'm a sucker for the Amityville series. It's a nice try to follow the haunting storyline, but I'm not surprised it falls flat for any entertainment value.

So this is it, the first "Amityville" part that doesn't belong to the official franchise. This terrible catastrophe of a movie is just another one of these damn low budget, soulless Found Footage atrocities, that should have wandered off right into the trash bin before someone had to see this. Thanks but no thanks, never ever again! One extra point for some titties, but that's the only good thing in this entire crap flick...
