A Quick Look at Most of the Amityville Series

My focus on horror for this month returns with this post as I look at one of horror longest, but admit ably crappiest franchises: The Amityville Horror. In preparing to write this, I noticed that I, sadly, have seen all of them, expect Amityville Dollhouse. Considering the level of shit of most of these, it's probably best to remain that way!

All reviews out of 4 stars.

The Amityville Horror- The 1979 original based on the Jay Anson best seller non-fiction book, later it was disregarded as what was probably a hoax, is a decent enough movie. Family moves into house, where a horrific murder in which a teenage  killed his parents and siblings took place. Dad gets possessed by evil forces, shit moves around, pig demons appear, tons of flies swarm, voices tell you to leave, etc. Which brings me to this: if a house tells me to leave, I fucking run the fuck out. Eventually walls bleed and slime is in the basement as shit goes from bad to worse. It's well acted but suffers from pacing issues and at times Brolin is a little over the top. Also nice: the side view of Margot Kidder's tits. Makes me jealous of Superman! Not the best film, but it has a place in the hearts of fans, myself included, more so due to it being on TV so much and me growing up on it. **1/2

Amityville II: The Possession- The first one was a massive hit so, a sequel was bound to come. In this case, they made a prequel, one loosely inspired by the real life Defeo murders before the Lutz moved in. Teen kid gets possessed and turns bad, ends up killing family with shotgun. Criticized when it came out for being kinda in bad taste, by being based on a real tragedy, it garnered a fan following over the years. It's still underrated though, but truth be told this is the best entry in the series. It also goes to places where no other mainstream horror franchise does, as he shotguns mom and pop and his little sis, and sleeps with his cutie teen sis played by Diane Franklin. Ms. Fanklin shows her boobs in a memorable, albeit quick and rather creepy incest moment. Sadly, it's mostly shit from here on in. ***

Amityville 3D- Paranormal investigators discover a shitty rubber demon living in the basement. I've never seen this one in 3D, but I don't know how much it would help if I had. This is a truly godawful piece of shit!! Fans of finding big actors in crappy movies, will be happy to know that pretty Lori Loughlin of Full House and Meg Ryan is in this. But, I'm gonna be honest. I would rather watch this shit than Full House or any or Ryan's chick flicks, so there is that bit of faint praise... OK, I'll add a little more, this is NOT the worst entry in the series! See I'm not that mean a guy. *1/2

Amityville: The Evil Escapes- This made for TV shit (that phrase right there should tell you the level of crap you're in for here), is sometimes known as pt. 4. It should always be known as being utterly horrible. A family buys a lamp from that came from the evil house. Bad shit happens. By bad shit, I mean stupid and whimpy, as TV wouldn't allow the gore seen in stuff like Supernatural or Grimm back then. Aside from an off-screen encounter with the garbage disposal noting sticks in my mind about this other than I hated it. *




Amityville: The Curse- Five idiots send the night in the famous house, in a movie a have no clue where it fits in continuity of the series. Though, does that matter in this series? No. In fact, this movie doesn't matter either. It's terribly boring and will curse you with the desire to go to bed. Or shut the the movie off, which is what I did. I have sat through some godawful movies, so for a film to make me shut it off means it's beyond awful. The worst entry in the series, that I have seen. 0 Stars

 



Amityville: It's About Time- Family has an old clock that came form the Amityville house. Directed by Hellbound: Hellraiser II's Tony Randall, this is a very solid entry in the series. It's well made, has a nice pace, some really good FX and gore, and good acting. Among the cast is former scream queen cutie Megan Ward. The scene where she touches her boobies as she is taken over by the clock's evil was a highlight for me as a horny teen. Not a lie! ***

Amityville- A New Generation- A photographer ends up with a cursed mirror that came from... yup you guessed everyone's favorite house in Long Island: Amityville!! Despite having Terry O'Quinn, the Lost/ Stepfather, himself, and a topless Julia Nickson-Soul from Rambo: First Blood Pt. II, this is a truly terrible and stupid piece of shit, unrated or R-rated versions. I used to think that this was the worst film in the series until I saw The Curse. Still, thanks to the cast and tits and it gets a measly 1/2 a star

The Amityville Horror (Remake)- From producer Michael Bay comes this decent remake of the original. It adds some cool elements (LOVE the Hellraiseresque Indian stuff) and solid acting from Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George. George keeps her clothing on, sadly, but along with Rachel Nichols adds some nice eye candy. Not great and not better than the original film, but it is nicely made and entertaining. And, much better than either of Bay's other horror remakes: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Hitcher. **1/2

I hope you enjoyed this visit to Long Island's most infamous house. Remember that not only have I not seen Dollhouse but Amityville Tapes has yet to be released. That's probably better for us all!

Horror Crush: Melissa George

Ahh, Melissa Geogre, I been a fan of this babe since my eyes, and my pants, first got captivated by her on Alias. It actually turns out, though, that I have actually been a fan of this Australian babe for far longer, than that, something I only learned from doing research for this post.

The naturally curvy beauty was born in Perth, Western Australia on August 6, 1976. This makes her 35 years old.

She made her acting debut in the excellent cult classic Dark City from Alex (The Crow) Proyas. She played a hooker and got nude. This would actually be the first time that I would be seeing her. She has a really nice rack and a great ass, and I do recall being happy she showed them in the movie. The movie, itself, is an amazing gothic sci-fi movie that is one of my favorites. It's visually captivating and simply breath-taking, not unlike her! Of course, it's a small role, but you won't be forgetting it anytime soon!

Her next role of interest to genre fans is from another favorite movie of mine: Mulholland Drive. A smart, sexy, and dark mystery movie, this is, in my book, David Lynch's best film. It might also be her sexiest role. She even shares a yummy lesbian kiss with the beautiful Laura Harring!

After being on Alias, she moved on to her next project: the remake of The Amityville Horror. While, the other two movies had elements that horror fans could appreciate, this was her first true terror film. It ain't no where near the level of the aforementioned movies, though. But, it ain't that bad, I don't think. Her acting and Ryan Reynolds is good. Besides, she looks fucking hot. I really like her ass in those jeans and her boobs in the tight sweaters that she wears, in it. And, hey when you compare this one to something like Amityville 3D or Amityville: The New Generation it looks like a masterpiece. Of, course that ain't saying much, but...

And, it is certainly light years ahead of Saw wanna-be Turistas, which despite having her (topless) and Olivia Wylde in bikinis and some gore and torture; it's really quite boring. Again, I have seen worse than this, but with better movies out there, why waste your time with this dreck? For George completionists only.30

George finally did an actual quality horror movie in the form of the awesome and ass kicking 30 Days of Night. A fast paced and violent good time, this adaptation of the best selling comic is a welcome change from pussy vampires. George looks beautiful as a snow bunny. Plus, this role allows her to kick some ass.

I am sad to say that I have yet to see her next horror film, Triangle, which I have heard nothing but good things about. Especially when you take into account just how much I enjoyed director Christopher Smith's Severance.

Melissa George is simply stunning, so much so that she does help to distract you from some the lesser stuff she has been in. She has beautiful, big blue eyes and luscious, kissable lips. As, I said before I really love her tits and her butt. No less an expert, than Dani Filth from Cradle of Filth, called her one of his fav horror babes. Here's hoping she does more genre work and hopefully with as little clothing as possible.
