In disregard of the shocking DeFeo murders, an unsuspecting family moves into the infamous house on 112 Ocean Avenue. Now, ghostly apparitions start to appear in their video surveillance system. Can they survive the Amityville haunting?

“The actual film was a parody of paranormal activity and the Amityville Horror, although it is the u0026#39;sameu0026#39; house it is now in the suburbs rather than countryside… but we need not mention the finer details. I loved both the original and Ryan Reynolds version of Amityville Horror so I thought that I would give it a chance regardless. Itu0026#39;s not the same story or even a good sequel. Itu0026#39;s shot like Paranormal Activity and seems to be an improv situation as no one really seems to know what to say. They try to add narrative with a child and a video camera who feels it necessary to annoy everyone in the film with the camcorder and me with his recap of each bad u0026#39;horroru0026#39; segment. Where as in PA (which I did like) the characters seem scared… Not this kid, as he says things are u0026#39;really creepyu0026#39;- Yes Tyler (or whatever generic name you have) it is actually if I was you Iu0026#39;d be like maybe we shouldnu0026#39;t be here rather than worry about your future career in documentaries.Although, he may get a job in one as he canu0026#39;t act.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis films acting I have got to say is pretty bad… really bad. I will watch films that give chance to new/young actors but I genuinely think they found these people on the street. I donu0026#39;t mean to offend but the emotions come across as if they were taken out of a labelled jar. The actors donu0026#39;t morph as a cast and the Dadu0026#39;s tone from the start makes me think that they casted him because he has the attitude of a serial killer with a slow mono-tone voice, and thats pretty much it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wanted to like this film due to my likings of any horror with a half decent storyline and OK effects. But even as low budget I cannot see any need for this film… No one is going to get a career from this.”
