Amityville Playhouse

And some of the characters are so irritating that you want them to die, so they do not say any more of the embarrassing script.

The only reason why this gets a 2 and not 1, is the goth chick is cute and not as cringeworthy when she spoke...

The Plot

Following the tragic death of her parents Fawn Harriman discovers she has inherited a theatre in the town of Amityville.

She, along with 3 friends, decides to spend the weekend there looking the place over.

Meanwhile one of her High School teachers begins an investigation into the village's past and makes a connection with something that goes back beyond recorded history.

Lovely.

If you like no production values.

If you like the worst acting ever.

If you like hollow sounding audio.

If you like poorly written and directed films, you might like this movie.

They should have included "horror" in the title because it's horrible.

Nothing -- and i mean nothing -- happens in this movie. It is a stinker

The acting (with the cringe-worthy, yet oddly humorous script playing an equal part) was sooo bad, I frequently burst out laughing. Yet, I couldn't turn it off. It was one of those "so bad, it's good" kind of movies. I imagined this would have possibly frightened me if I was a child, or perhaps an anxious teen...

Nothing at all significant happens and you may find yourself scratching your head in confusion as the credits roll, but it will give you something to laugh about if you can let go of any expectations and approach this movie light-heartedly. I would actually recommend this to those who can appreciate a really wonderfully awful movie. :)

So here's yet another person who thinks they can try their luck at writing and directing a 'horror' movie simply because they are a fan of horror movies and fresh out of college. The writer and director (I used those words loosely ) is sure a fan of the original Amityville the he decided to investigate and see if you could make a film using the Amityville name whilst having nothing at all to do with err... Amityville.

So first off what he did was insult many fans of the original movies.

The writer and director even admitted that only 3 people EVER went to see this movie on its short cinema release. Those 3 people being the writer himself and 2 producers. Says a lot right there.

Don't even read on.. Don't give this trash any more attention and it should go away.

Amityville Playhouse has no association with the original Amityville films, lets say that right from the start. It is a very slow, dull film, with shaky camera and below par acting. I struggle to tell where the budget for this film was actually spent. Usually I would try and find something to redeem a film, but I am really struggling with this production. I do not think even decent acting could salvage this script. It had no real substance to the story line, I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever did. It is an absolute travesty that they used the name Amityville to try and lure people into watching this film.
