Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Although this film takes place at the Amityville House, it is not a sequel to The Amityville Horror (1979) or Amityville II: The Possession (1982). The events in the first two films were supposedly "real". more
Goofs:
Factual errors: When the evil forces caused the elevator to malfunction, the man inside is shown pressed against the ceiling as the elevator is rapidly descending. The only way this could happen is if the elevator was accelerating downward faster than the force of gravity could pull it. That he should stick to the ceiling is against the laws of physics. more

Clapped out horror, 27 February 2006

Author: mutty_mcflea from Bristol, UK

One of a spate of third chapters shot in 3-D (also 'Jaws 3-D', 'Friday the 13th Part III'), this redundant sequel uses the technique to make up for a lack of effort in every other department, like story, lighting, direction and editing. Plenty of familiar scenes are present – kids holding séances, self-slamming doors, red herring dream sequences – without much in the way of suspense or scares. Nothing happens, and it happens very slowly. The film is notable only for an early role for Meg Ryan, and even that's nothing to get excited about any more. All right, so these movies aren't exactly art, but would it kill them to put a bit of effort in?
