And IT'S ABOUT TIME really doesn't do anything to argue this matter. Some nice ideas are here, don't get me wrong, but the film just lollops along with a pace that starts to feel like time is stopping altogether! The only gratification I got (and the only reason why I held out) was the wonderful scene where the lovely Megan Ward experiences her 'para-sexual' awakening. Great cinema - I can't really complain!
So make of this review what you will - AMITYVILLE is not nearly as bad as some from this genre, and it is not entirely unenjoyable. Just plan something else to do at the same time - this film requires only a fraction of your attention (about 10 minutes halfway through actually!), so your brain might start to drum its bio-rythmical thumbs...
This is probably the second best sequel in the franchise, following "The Possession", a sinister sequel. "It's About Time" obviously centers on the possession topic and has the occasional poltergeist scenes provoked by the clock's evil glow.
This movie scared me when I first rented it (I was 8 or 9) because it has a dark, creepy atmosphere. The mansion is scary enough for a movie like this. The f/x are below average but it's normal for a direct to video sequel.
If you are a fan of haunted house or possession flicks, this is a very good option that exploits the greatness of direct to video.

Jacob Sterling (Stephen Macht) returns from a business trip in NY and has an antique clock with him. It turns out that this clock has a bad history including being present in the infamous Amityville house. Soon all sorts of bad things are going on so Jacob's son (Damon Martin) and girlfriend (Shawn Weatherly) must try and destroy the clock. This here was the sixth film in THE AMITYVILLE HORROR series and it was one (of many) that went direct-to-VHS back in the day. I think what really hurts this film's reputation is the "Amityville" title because I'm sure there are fans of the original three movies (why I don't know) who come to this cheap horror film and are disappointed that it's really not connected. Like HALLOWEEN III, if this film was released on its own and not part of a series then perhaps it would be enjoyed more. With that said, no one should mistake this for a good movie because it's not. However, it's still better than your typical low-budget film. The story itself isn't the greatest in the world but I think there are enough interesting ideas to where you can stay entertained. The film also benefits from some pretty good special effects and you're going to be shocked at how good they are compared to most movies like this. We get a rather vicious dog attack that looks quite real and the leftover impact of the attack is on full display throughout the rest of the movie as the wounds continue to ooze blood and other stuff. There are also a few other creative death scenes but one is without question really bad and I'm not going to spoil it but it's something that happens after an almost death by car. You won't miss the scene. The performances are also better than normal with Weatherly really coming across good as the girlfriend. AMITYVILLE 1992: IT'S ABOUT TIME shouldn't be looked at as a masterpiece or any sort of good cinema but it's certainly much better than most films in the series.
It's About Time otherwise known as Amityville 1992 begs the question what would happen if an item from the infamous house was relocated to another? The answer is a pretty bad movie will happen.
A man buys an antique clock that came from the Amityville house, before you know it strange things are happening and himself and other family members seem to have been possessed by something evil.
This did at least feel like an Amityville movie and reminded me a lot of Amityville: Dollhouse (1996) A passable watch for fans but as a standalone movie it's really not great.
The Good:
Amityville vibe
The Bad:
Another cheating antagonist
Pets getting killed in every damn horror film is overkill
Flawed confusing story
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Amityville is a major contender for the most butchered franchise in movie history
A great soundtrack and some really memorable scenes. The actors and story keep the film from dragging. Shawn Weatherly is attractive and a good leading lady.
If the film had been a little darker and scarier that could have made it even better, but certainly a good one to grab up and add to your vhs collection.
¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaThe crew shot the scene with an overflowing bathtub for real, in an actual house's second-story bathroom. This proved to be ill-advised when, just after the shot was filmed, the soaked floor caved in and the tub fell all the way through down to the first floor.
- Errores(at around 18 mins) Jacob cuts Peaches face with a glass shard to escape after she attacks him. In the next shot, the cut is gone.
- Citas
Jacob Sterling: [to Dr. Stafford] High-tech technology. You've got to love it. Put 'er there, pal.
[the two shake hands]
Jacob Sterling: Good firm grip. Look, I just want to take a second here and let you know how much I appreciate you coming over and taking care of my family. God knows, I've been in no shape to do it. I owe you one, buddy. So, you're a doctor, right?
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Yeah. I'm a psychiatrist.
Jacob Sterling: A doctor. Sick is sick, right? Whether it's upstairs, or down in the basement.
[gestures to Leonard's robe]
Jacob Sterling: Did I tell you I went to med school? Almost.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Uh, no. You didn't.
Jacob Sterling: You bet. But I ended up studying drafting. Majored in architecture. And I build things. Lots of things. But sometimes, doc. I've gotta tell you. Don't think I'm weird. Sometimes I get the urge to tear them down. Just get a wrecking ball and level blocks and blocks of ranch style homes. You've got to experience a similar thing. You spend all day healing people. Making them feel better. You ever want to hurt them? Make them bleed? Balance the books? Clean the slate?
[Pulls out a pistol]
Jacob Sterling: Take a look at this puppy. It's a 'Walther P38K'. Actually quite old. Worth a lot. German construction. The SS used to carry these. Some of the Berlin police still carry these today, although they're actually being replaced by more sophisticated sidearms. It's a terrific piece of machinery. Incredibly accurate.
[racks the slide]
Jacob Sterling: Never jams. It's just a work of art to look at. But I guess its day has passed.
[holds the gun to his own temple]
Jacob Sterling: I'll tell you one thing, though. You turn this puppy on some asshole and you can slip your wrist through the hole it'd leave behind.
[turns the gun on Leonard]
Jacob Sterling: Are you fucking Andrea? *My* Andrea? Don't lie to me, you bastard fornicator.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: What are you TALKING ABOUT? Look, you guys have a relationship, and I'm not part of that!
Jacob Sterling: What about tonight? Are you *going* to fuck her? Here? In *my* house? Just across the hall from where *we* used to sleep together? You fucked her!
Dr. Leonard Stafford: No!
Jacob Sterling: Don't lie to me.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Okay, okay. Yes. I did it, okay?
Jacob Sterling: And what about after?
Dr. Leonard Stafford: What?
Jacob Sterling: Lisa. Are you going after my daughter?
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Never! I would NEVER!
Jacob Sterling: I can't let you do that. I've got to stop you. Right here. Right now.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: No! NO! NOOOO!
