    Evil Lamp....What else I need to say about this movie.

    One thing that this movie stands out from the rest is that the main villain is a lamp (I'm not even kidding). The idea of it is a ridiculous one and the movie takes itself seriously with it's concept. I mean the movie tries way too hard to make the lamp creepy and it doesn't work at all. Also movie have a lot of dry parts in it and it's pretty stale on what is presented here. And the movie is easily predictable.

    But there is some enjoyable and suspense to be found in this movie. Like when the electronics is going out crazy and the lamp causing these things to happen. But the movie ends with a cliche.

    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.

    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.

    Mildly entertaining made-for-TV Amityville sequel.

    This one actually has a decent story to it taking the action outside of the Amityville house and putting the evil in an old lamb, which is genuinely creepy. The problem here though is the made-for-TV budget and feel, director Sandor Stern who directed the Canadian classic Pin tries to put in some creepy moments to play with the audience, sadly though the first half is rather slow, and after the first five minutes in the Amityville house it literally takes forever for something to start happening. It's definitely better then part 3 that's for sure, but, there's still no reason for you to go out and look for this thing. If your a prime member though at this time it is available to watch for free.

    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

    • Trivia
      The main house in the film is supposed to be at the top of an ocean bluff, but the house they actually filmed at was simply on top of a hill. The shots showing the house from behind on top of the bluff were actually filmed at a seaside trailer park with a specially-constructed house facade.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 28 mins) The amount of blood on Jessica's knife changes (and even disappears) between shots.
