Amityville Uprising

I really wanted to like this movie, but it's really terrible. I don't want to be too mean, but it's probably the worst movie I've ever seen. My parents used to own a video store, so we've seen a TON of movies. Some were really, really bad, but not on this level. Like I said, I wanted to like it! I'm a huge fan or horror movies and shows, but this made me really depressed. The acting is the worst I've ever watched. I've seen sooo many movies, and some that were so bad, they were good. Look at what Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell did with Evil Dead; they had a very low budget, but they made it work somehow. This... just doesn't.

Not as bad as teh other reviewer says.

Yes, the acting is pretty dismal and it's a tad slow, but hey it's made for no money and taking that into consideration, you have to give at least some props.

They really tried. Sets, wardrobe, etc. They didt just make this in the backyard like most cheap horror videos. And it's not that stupid shakey cam found footage garbage.

They actually put some thought and elbow grease into the movie.

It's better than most Troma films I've seen. Far more serious.

Just stop, enough with the Amityville word in the title, lol! I don't know about you all but it definitely annoys me when a low budget film comes out with the word Amityville in their title, especially when it has nothing to do with the original Amityville movie. Lol! And everytime one comes out with that word in its title is just sucks worse and worse, movie so boring you fall asleep within 10 minutes of it. Why can't they come up with their own title instead of using a title that has been worn out already? So sad!

You have your cheesy good movie and you have this...acting is awful,story is as bad and cgi was better in the 90's.i love zombie movies but this one was hard to finish.

Another year, another movie with the word Amityville in its title.

Needless to say that I wasn't harboring much of any high hopes or expectations for the 2022 action horror movie titled "The Amityville Rising" from writer and director Thomas J. Churchill. But I still opted to sit down and watch it, given it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen.

"The Amityville Rising" is bad. It is exactly as bad as you would assume it be. Yeah, not really a big surprise there, huh?

The storyline written by Thomas J. Churchill was just all over the place, and the name Amityville is just in the movie's title to lure in an audience. But hey, it did work, you and I watched the movie, right? Sure, the movie is set to take place in the town Amityville, but that is about it. So talk about a cheap cash-in on a title in order to lure in viewers.

Let's just stop to look at the storyline: A laughably bad CGI explosion rocks Amityville and creates an acidic toxic rain that plasters the town. Anyone exposed dies horribly and return as zombies. Right, where is the red thread and logic in that?

The acting performances in "The Amityville Rising" were fair, taking into consideration the thin script that they had to work with. Not great performances, not memorable performances. But the actors and actresses on the cast list managed to do fair enough with the limited material they had to work with in terms of script, storyline, character gallery and dialogue.

Visually then "The Amityville Rising" was adequate. It wasn't a memorable action horror in any way, and it didn't really even have impressive special effects to sweeten the deal.

"The Amityville Rising" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this, and I mean that literally, so you don't have to.

My rating of "The Amityville Rising" lands on a two out of ten stars.
