    On the OK level

    I know this isnt one of the best Amityville films but i still found it enjoyable. Patty Duke is great as Nancy and the plot outline isnt that bad either! The fx arent upto scratch but dont let that spoil the fun as you get to see a man have his hand cut off by a shredder! Its the old woman Alice that i hate she never stops moaning and doesnt seem to like her daughter and grandkids much!

    Good for a t.v. movie

    Surprisingly good 4th installment in the now tired franchise. This time a woman buys a lamp from the infamous Amityville house and sends it to some relatives that live in California. As soon as grandmother Jane Wyatt plugs it in, the evil forces make themselves at home. Good story, acting, and music score. ***1/2 out of *****. Skip the next installment "The Amityville Curse" and get "Amityville '92: It's About Time" and the two that follow after that.

    Better then the third movie

    A number of priest, go to this house and get the evil force out of the house, one of the priest get hurts and see that evil force as got into the lamp.

    Now that stuff of the house, is now being for sale and that includes the Lamp that as evil force in it.

    two women then end up buying the lamp, so she send it to her sister for her birthday.

    The lamp get to her sister, Alice Leacock house and on that same day Alice Leacock Alice's daughter, Nancy Evans and her 3 kids Amanda, Brian and Jessica come to stay and i can not wait to open the package.

    Soon odd thing start to happen, alice tells Nacy thinks this is all kids doing, Nacy is also worried about Jessica is talking to Lamp, thinking she talking her dad, who passed away before.

    Meanwhile the priest is out of hospital and trying to track down the lamp and but time is running out fast, will it make in time to save the family before evil force takeover yet another house.

    This is movie is really good, much better then the third, this movie can a get a bit silly at times but it works well with the rest of the movie, movie never gets boring, there is always something to keep you entertained.

    One of the better movies in the series, I will give this movie 6 out of 10

    Ridiculous Fun

    Patty Duke plays a woman who must protect her family from the evils of Amityville after a lamp from an estate sale transfers the evil to her home.

    Duke carries the film beautifully, giving it her all and treating the material seriously without any winking at the audience and she's the highlight of the film. The haunted house sequences are par for the course for a film like this, but there is one nasty bit involving a garbage disposal that's unexpected for a film that, mostly, plays it too safe.

    Mildy entertaining

    I wasn't expecting much from this film, however it turned out to be decently entertaining considering it's the fourth Amytville sequel. The plot concerns a possessed lamp removed from the original Amytville house, that is now in a new house causing mayhem. The acting is decent and the story isn't too boring. Sadly it lacked gore, but then so did a lot of films in the late 80's.

    Whenever I see a lamp now I always think of this film, whether that's a good thing or not I don't know. If you can find a cheap copy then it may be worth a watch, however I wouldn't go out of your way to find it as it's not the best around.

    • Trivia
      When attempting to obtain permission to shoot at the main house used in the movie, the filmmakers were initially turned down. The woman who owned the house had previously allowed another movie to shoot there and been quite upset when the crew trampled her rose gardens. She ultimately allowed her house to be used with production designer Kandy Stern's promise the roses would be carefully avoided. However, producer Barry Bernardi, who had also produced the prior film shot there, was not allowed on location so as not to upset the homeowner.
