The Amityville Legacy

When a vintage clapping monkey toy from the original Amityville house is gifted to a father he becomes possessed and turns on his family.

Basically the same general concept as every other Amityville film.

The difference here is the film was made on a budget comparable with the value of 2 Freddo Bars & a Twinkie.

Awfully shot, stupid light effects, poor audio quality and an instantly forgettable cast there isn't much to credit the movie on.

Just when you think all these Amityville cashins can't get worse they do.

Stick to the originals or better yet don't bother.

The Good:

It's fairly short

The Bad:

Ridiculous light effects

Its just plain terrible

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When an inanimate toy monkey is the most charismatic part of the cast you know you have a problem

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting is below subpar, the dialogue is was horrible and the direction was bad. It was very monotone, slow and pretty boring really. I beg, don't watch this movie. As I said, I love bad movies, but this one is up with Rubber and birddemic (sp). I am physically sick after watching this piece of crap

First of all the characters of the grandma and dad r younger than supposed to be. Horrible acting. No plot.

Only watch if u like criticizing horrible movies

The Amityville Legacy (2016)

** (out of 4)

A family are getting together for their father's birthday. One of the gifts given to him is an antique monkey toy but soon afterwards the father begins to act strange. It turns out this toy was once inside the Amityville house and could be the reason for that house's curse.

THE AMITYVILLE LEGACY is a very low-budget movie from directors Dustin Ferguson and Mike Johnson. I had previously watched DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT 2 and was surprised to see how much I enjoyed it even with its various flaws. I went into this movie with very low expectations because, well, let's be honest, the AMITYVILLE series has been an awful one and there have been countless bad movies that just borrowed the title to try and make people rent/buy it.

The film here has some decent performances from the cast and I'd argue that the director's do a nice job at keeping everything movie. A lot of times horror films like this just get to be downright slow and boring but that's really not the case here. It's well-made technically and it never gets boring. So, what is the problem with the film? Well, it lasts just 69-minutes with the ending credits.

Normally I prefer movies like this to run short but honestly that's a tad bit too short because it seems like the movie is just getting started and then it's over. THE AMITYVILLE LEGACY, with that short running time, is certainly worth sitting through but it did need a bit more meat on its bones.

Okey, sometimes when i read a bad review i tend to still watch that movie so i can make up my own mind... But in this case STOP AND DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! I'm telling you nothing about this movie is good!In fact i would go as far as to say it is as bad as catwomen. Besides the bad acting and horrible quality of the movie itself, its just not fit to be in The Amityville series(Movieseries) seeing as how they go so far of the beaten track story wise. Very very bad story line , actors are horrible and direction and quality suck ass.

Again you have been warned. so don't waste 2 hours.
