The Amityville Legacy

Like others, I mistook this movie for the upcoming Amityville Awakening. This movie however is shockingly bad and amateurish produced and directed. This movie is even worse than "Amityville: It's about time" released in 1992 where a demon hides in a lamp. The plot is bad. The acting is bad. The effects are bad. Absolute everything with this movie is bad and I'm surprised the owner of the "Amityville" band including the iconic house silhouette doesn't sue the producer for destroying it. They didn't even bother to use fake ammo when the rifle went off - they used NO ammo but added a tiny "boom" afterwards. This production is nothing but a blasphemy against the whole genre.

One star is way to much.

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.

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

Bad enough to warrant a review.

It's 58 minutes long, with another 8 minutes of slowly dragging credits(but that features a My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult song, so that boosts this flick up one star).

There's no budget.

There is a plot.

There is a drone used for some footage.

Watching this for free is still a waste of time unfortunately. If you like bad movies, this isn't one for you. God, the Asylum did a better Amityville movie than this. THE FCKING ASYLUM.

This is a bad movie, there's no shame in that, it's just really really bad.
