Amityville Goes to Spain
kbtoys10029 November 2023
The newest in the unending string of DTV movies slapping the Amityville name onto them sees a familiar villain coming from a new county.

8 year old Olivia is grieving the death of her mother as her father takes her to a remote cabin. Leaving her alone for work, she finds a clown stalking her. The rest of the movie consists of a number of sequences of the clown chasing her and her waking up just in time for the next sequence to begin.

With such a thin plot, it would be easy for this entry to become unbearably tedious, but a majority of the (very low budget) stalking scenes are done pretty decently, largely in part to the good costume and the young girls decent job of acting (she's by far the best of the small cast).

Speaking of the cast, before I saw on IMDB it listed as Spain, I was sure half of the actors were Irish while the father and daughter were Russian. They all speak English in the film but some, specifically the dad's boss and their aunt (I think?), had thick accents.

Honestly, unless you have some sick compulsion like me to see every Amityville-titled film, you're not going to like this one. It's essentially a families YouTube horror skit stretched to 74 minutes, but they do a decent job with what little they had and for where we are in the Amityville 'series' this one has been better than most of the recent dreck.

Really bad

Warning: Spoilers
I'm only giving this 2 stars because the girl is a tough cookie.

The movie has a runtime of 70 minutes, which is about 60 minutes too long. There's a 1:09 preview video that about covers it all. If you watch that, you will see just about everything you need.

On thing is was so tiring was...is she sleeping or not. I mean it was one scream after the next, followed by her waking up and looking around. It got old fast, and the end didn't exactly tell us what happened.

Also, in case you didn't notice, Amityville is now in Spain. I'll bet the people that live there would be interested in knowing that!

Pass on this. It really is a drag and while isn't not confusing, it's really confusing....sleeping...not sleeping...UUUGGGGHHHHH.
