below average horror movie

Far from the worst i've ever seen.Too many cheap jump scares and the family drama at times made it feel like a tv movie of the week.Good to catch on tv maybe but i wouldn't pay to see it in a theater.

It's not for everyone, but I thought it was way better than some of the Amityville sequels. I thought jump scares were great!

Some of the jump scares worked but some were predictable and didn't work.It wasn't horrible.It's good for a watch once.IMO it pales in comparison to the original 3 films though.

It wasn't anything special,I prefer the older Amityville movies like dollhouse and the evil escapes.

/the family drama at times made it feel like a tv movie of the week./

that was some Hallmark level family bs in this movie.

One of the worst movie of the year.

The trailer made it look so good. But honestly I wasn't impressed by the use of the brother lying like a corpse throughout the movie. It just didn't evoke any terror or suspense. It basically took away the feeling of atmosphere of the home.
