Worth watching for Patty Duke..., 9 November 2006
7/10
Author: MarieGabrielle from United States

The "Amityville Horror" series continues. Actually for anyone who is a fan of that series, this film is much better than the 2005 remake which is so derivative as it seems to owe royalties to the original director.

This time Patty Duke and family move out west; her mom is Jane Wyatt (always a nice TV presence).

While the story is a bit contrived, this time Wyatt's sister on Long Island has sent her a hideous lamp, which seems to be the key to the evil and insanity brought into the house. Sound silly? Well, it's better than the "ketcham and kill 'em" reference in the latest tired Amityville saga. In the new film the name Ketcham is invoked to imply a witch/warlock who lived in the Amityville L.I., NY original house. If you drive on Ketcham Street today you will see nothing except quaint souvenir shops and coffee shops; there was never a mystery, just a cottage industry.
