The Amityville Curse (2023)

The Amityville Curse (2023). The Amityville Curse: Directed by Éric Tessier. With Brendan Fehr, Ennis Esmer, Tommie-Amber Pirie, Dillon Casey. A modern take on the ever popular horror franchise, still true to the novel of Holzer.

“My expectations for any new movie with Amityville in the title are generally low, and knowing this one was brought to us by a free streaming service I figured it would look low budget. And I was right, it does, and the script is nothing more than serviceable, paint-by-numbers, haunted house horror fare. The set-up is minimal before things begin going bump in the night, and the swift pacing remains fairly consistent throughout the brief 90-minute runtime. What works best here is the cast, each of whom had to realize this project would be nothing more than a marginal paycheck. They all turn in credible performances considering the rather thin writing. A no-harm, no-foul Amityville movie that does nothing more than pass the time on a rainy day.”
