Please start to create the minus -10 . Low cheap budget movie, no actors, dialogue by force, no production, no director, this is a cheap low budget movie made by a bunch of neighbors in California, no story no history, nothing, no FX nothing, really terrible movie no waste your time download this horrible terrible movie. For sure the good comments are the families and neighbors of the kids and the poor producer and director and for sure all the clowns in this terrible VHS This people and his director must be ban to produce or make another domestic VHS home movie. No real story, bad acting. Waste of time.
This film essentially begins with a motorist being pulled over for a speeding ticket and then being brutally beaten to death by what appears to be monstrous figure wearing a police uniform. The scene then shifts to a homeless man being woken up from his sleep and subsequently killed by the same police officer. Naturally, after his body is taken to the morgue, an investigation is opened up but, with few clues to go by, neither "Detective Miller" (Jason Toler) nor his partner "Detective Val" (Nicole D'Angelo) know where to begin looking. Further complicating the issue is the testimony by a local drunk that a demon in a police uniform was responsible. Yet despite the skepticism expressed by Detective Miller, this news comes as quite a shock to the precinct supervisor "Captain Benson" (Jeffrey Moon) who has been afraid of this development for almost 20 years. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I wasn't too disappointed with this film for the simple reason that I didn't expect very much from it in the first place. The acting was bad, the plot lacked depth, and the script could have used significant improvement as well. Not only that, but it became quite clear early on that this was one of those films that slapped the name of "Amityville" onto its title simply to draw more viewers. And, having watched the film in its entirety, I fully understand why viewers haven't flocked to see it. It's an awful film, and I have rated it accordingly.
Amityville Cop opens with an adequate kill scene reminiscent of the original Maniac Cop. We are then treated to a horrible comedy scene between our main character Detective and his captain with a bizarre swing music soundtrack.
The rest of the runtime consists mostly of very stilted dialogue scenes shot in the police station (someone's empty house), stock drone footage, and non-gory kill scenes.
The casting of Laurene Landon as a cult leader solidifies the Maniac Cop 'inspiration'. Cult favorite Lisa London also appears as the only two notable faces on display. The rest of the cast are regulars of Hatanaka's other films and little else.
Speaking of director Gregory Hatanaka, he was also the director of the abysmal Samurai Cop 2 along with a number of small films, but seems to make his living as a distribution consultant on larger films and somehow was a music supervisor on Kill Bill.
Most recent Amityville films have little to do with the house, but there seems to be no tie whatsoever with Amityville Cop. It's not even a good sequel to Maniac Cop either.
Bottom line: boring story, bad cast (especially the lead detective's terrible attempts at being funny), little action or kills make for a very bad film. Still, at least the runtime is a mercifully short 68 minutes and it's not the worst of the endless Amityville films (Amityville Witches or Amityville Vanishing Point earn that title... for now...)

This is down right insufferable. There is nothing what so ever here worth reviewing. An absolute insult to even B movies. Avoid like the plague unless you and some drinking buddies need something to ridicule.
Not that bad if was that boring I wouldn't watched till end could done with more people and action in there I.think there might be another one comming out.
