Amityville Playhouse

Acting was the worst I have ever seen in my entire life. It was so bad I even had to threaten Virgin Media that if they did not refund me, I would leave them for another service provider.

Sir I am sorry, we can not give you a refund "A gaggle of thoroughly obnoxious college students decide to spend the weekend in an abandoned Amityville cinema that one of the kids inherited from her dead parents. Of course it's haunted and a bunch of bad stuff happens: bad special effects, deliciously lousy scriptwriting, cack- handed direction and, above all, truly atrocious acting, attaining a level of ineptitude and woodenness that would shame the cheapest amateur porn film.

In fact, it's so bad one starts to wonder if it's all not some kind of elaborate satanic joke that induces a kind of giddy, demonic hilarity."

Your refund will be credited to your next statement Sir.

I will rate this film a 2. That's me being generous as the acting was extremely poor and nothing whatsoever happens in this film. I usually watch films several times before I make a opinion but I won't be watching this film again. I was extremely disappointed as the DVD cover looked very impressive and spooky. Completely opposite to the film. No acting.looked very fake.and just generally disappointed me. When you hear the word 'amytiville' you expect something brilliant brilliant. Iv watched many films involving amytiville and they were definitely worth the watch. Could have been so much better. So all in all dissatisfied and don't recommend but each to there own some people may enjoy. I just won't be watching it again. I felt I should write a review as I have watched many films but this one left me speechless due to the acting.

Chances are if you're watching a non-80s or even 90s amityville film you know you're in for bottom of the barrel stuff.

Amityville Theater is no exception. Extremely light on horror elements, this plays more like a mystery thriller and a bad one at that.

The camerawork is decent which is about the only positive thing I can say about this film.

Only for the Amityville completists, everyone else watch your community theater, they probably do a better job.

And some of the characters are so irritating that you want them to die, so they do not say any more of the embarrassing script.

The only reason why this gets a 2 and not 1, is the goth chick is cute and not as cringeworthy when she spoke...

The acting (with the cringe-worthy, yet oddly humorous script playing an equal part) was sooo bad, I frequently burst out laughing. Yet, I couldn't turn it off. It was one of those "so bad, it's good" kind of movies. I imagined this would have possibly frightened me if I was a child, or perhaps an anxious teen...

Nothing at all significant happens and you may find yourself scratching your head in confusion as the credits roll, but it will give you something to laugh about if you can let go of any expectations and approach this movie light-heartedly. I would actually recommend this to those who can appreciate a really wonderfully awful movie. :)
