I will not say this is a turkey, that's too easy

Warning: Spoilers
Jackie (Natalie Peri, who is also in Amityville Conjuring) and Danny (Paul Faggione, who played John Gotti in a series of documentaries and is also in a movie called Bad Ravioli, so you can expect exactly what he does, speaking in an exaggerated Italian accent) are having Thanksgiving at an intensive therapy session with Amityville's best -- and not only, believe it or not -- marriage counselor Frank Domonico (Mark C. Fullhardt, who is also in Amityville Conjuring, so...it looks like I'll have to watch that as well). The doctor has some strange ways of bringing couples together, although it seems like he wants to have sex with Jackie more than fix her marriage.

Yes, this is both a Thanksgiving and an Amityville movie and man, that means that I was duly bound to watch it. I mean -- just look at this Amityville list of films I've already made it through.

Directed and written by Will Collazo Jr. (Bloody Nun, Night of the Zomghouls, Ouija Encounters of the Third Kind, Mothman: Mount Misery Road and yes, the upcoming Amityville Conjuring) has kind of, sort of assembled this movie from disparate scenes and several solo actors just filmed on their phones. Seriously, the film ends way before it actually ends and people just talk about events that happened within or after the story and there's no reason at all for them being there.

Yet you know, to make an Amityville movie about Thanksgiving and not have it really about either and instead an excuse for old men with thick New York accents about having rough sex with other men's wives is pretty much a genius concept. It also has Shawn Phillips and David Perry as a male couple that has the same marriage issues as everyone else.

I was going to say I have no idea who this is for, but I know that the answer is me. I'm the same kind of jerk that will write thousands of words saying how creatively bereft a movie like Smile is and then watch every single Amityville movie and if sixteen year old me knew that, he would be so happy with how things turned out.

Also: marriage counselor who puts the seed of a demon into women he's steered into leaving their husbands and then eating them -- as well as killing their marriage counselor competition -- is the kind of career path no one tells you about. Cannibal Marriage Counselor is also not as good a title as Amityville Thanksgiving.

Another Amityville movie...
rebecca_saunders20 March 2023
A horrible couple decide they need marriage counselling because hubby is arrogant does nothing but go to Atlantic City to gamble. The wife is horny and needy.... the weird counsellor is horny too and is really touchy feely with the horny wife. He suggests they stay at his cabin and bang each other silly. The cabin puts Amityville in the mountains in this iteration (which is irritating because if people are going to make fake Amityville films, at least put it on the south shore of Long Island where it actually is). Everyone in the film sounds like a bit player from "The Sopranos". This was so bad it made "Amityville Witches" look like "Citizen Kane".

"You gotta ravage her!"
maggie_hart23 November 2023
Another dismal film from the Amityville series. This time, a demented possibly demonic couples counselor tricks couples to stay in his haunted Amityville cabin so he can eat their flesh, or so I gather because the film certainly doesn't show that happening or anything happening for that matter. The movie is a hodgepodge of low-budget, low-effort film and odd little video clips of characters talking endlessly, especially at the end. There is a lot of whittling of sticks, which is by far the most fascinating part. I suggest avoiding this one.

It's not even good enough to be on Tubi, this turkey can't fly.

One of my favourite horror movies
phillipmorris3423 January 2023
This is my favourite guilt pleasure. Will Collazo and Julie Anne Prescott brings you Amityville Thanksgiving. An original horror film with twists and turns that keeps things fresh and interesting. Loved the performances from the lead actors and I hear there's now a sequel! Amityville Turkey Day! Mark C Fullhardt knocks it straight out of the park as the very sinister couples therapist Frank Demonico (speedy recovery Mark) There isn't much to do with the actual Amityville house so if you're a huge fan then this might be a disappointment to you. This is a film that should be studied in film schools.
