Trivia:

On the original poster art, and the UK cover art, the scene is more from Amityville: The Evil Escapes (1989). You can tell because the lamp from the fourth movie is in front of the girl on the floor, and it's clear that she's in the attic from the fourth movie. Also, the girl in the poster is not Rachel Duncan (Jessica), but instead Brandy Gold from the fourth movie.

Funny, Funny! One Kid Shines!

Funny (slly) movie, and definitely not to be taken at all seriously, that's for sure. This is an all-out SPOOF, that's all, so watch it tongue-in-cheek, and laugh as much as you wish. The special effects were surprisingly good, most of the time. The walk-through fireplace, the burning up of the house...... pretty darn good, actually. What knocked me out, of all things, was the son, "Jimmy Martin" (outstandingly portrayed by young actor JARRETT LENNON), who came across so naturally, so charmingly, so intelligently, so humorously, so nicely. He stood out, because he seemed REAL, instead of being just another actor playing a part. Where IS he these days?!
