The story is fun and the vibe is cute with all the corny ass jokes and neon aerobic gear on everyone. Now see, it's fun and I love it, but the 80's irl were pretty brown. And pink. And then those colors decided to get busy and have a baby around 1990 and that's why you see a disturbing number of large 90's houses with pink brown tubs and toilets! But that's a whole different write up about how my wealth of fashion history knowledge has come almost entirely from horror movies.

Love the chainsaw at the end! No spoilers or anything but there's a chainsaw that happens at the end! Anyway, great movie!

The 3rd Channel, directed by first time filmmaker Michelle Blasky, creates a good atmospheric sci-fi thriller which resembles Carpenter's vision of the unpopular cult classic "Halloween III". It's a good attempt but the sound and acting were the main issues of the whole thing. The soundtrack was excellent! Really enjoyed that in general but there were a lot of points where the soundtrack takes over people's dialogue quite a bit. The ending was a let down as it seemed anticlimactic and rather unjustified. Glad however that Blasky tried with this one as Halloween 3 needs to be discussed more through culture.

I'll give the makers of Amityville Island some credit, they try for something different than just another haunted house movie...they TRY but don't necessarily succeed.

Single mom of four and newly moved into Amityville Kelly Jo (Jamie Morgan) stops at a yard sale at the infamous Amityville house,(They missed their chance not calling this Amityville Yard Sale) the items she buys fill her with evil intent and she kills her four kids in cold blood.

This lands her in prison, (Another missed opportunity...Amityville is the New Black.) where the sadistic guards force her to fight a fellow inmate (Danielle Donahue) for perverts online.

The two are sent to an island to be experimented on by two kooky doctors, (Jeff Kirkendall, and James Carolus) who are trying to make a supersoldier then clone him. (There is a lot going on in the one hour eighteen minutes running time.)

Another not-so-good Amityville movie under my belt, and there is a truckload more to watch.

Amityville Island has lots of ideas going on, yet none of it ever comes together. There is a women's prison movie, a mad scientist flick, a devil possession movie, and a zombie flick, yet none of it works in any way.

Jamie Morgan is a lead actress who has no business whatsoever being in front of a camera.
