The myth about the Amityville house and what happened there
is the stuff that would give anyone nightmares.
Too bad there will be no nightmares had after watching The Amityville Haunting (2011). You can never keep a good idea to make a
profit down as this film is nothing more than an easy way for an indie
production company to make money off a popular marketable idea.
Taking its cue from the popularity of the found footage
film, Tyler Benson (Devin Clark) is the next young Steven Spielberg whose
family (mother, father, younger & older sister) has moved into the house
that is made of nightmares. Over the
course of a week after they move in Tyler films everything getting things on
tape that he can’t comprehend and as people start to die from accidents in the
house, Tyler and his family soon come to realize that they are not alone in the
house.
Besides using all the wrong clichés of bad found footage
films the worst thing about the film is that it is filled with unlikable
characters and an annoying little kid as the main protagonist. The film is beyond predictable with nothing
you haven’t already seen a hundred times before in other found footage
films. This is not the nail in the
coffin for the film as the film is filled with atrocious acting all around and
even worst is the way in which the film is edited which has more unnecessary jump
cuts than an MTV music video.
This film is beyond amateur and bad with no redeeming
qualities whatsoever. This is a travesty
that most people will turn off within the first ten minutes (as I should have
but I suffer through these films so you don’t have to).
