a group of friend buy and move into an old long island house and where 12 year earlier and a priest be brutally murder by a teenager who hang himself before he could be try by the police . soon and the newcomer encounter strange and eventually fatal spectral visitation . will any of them be intelligent enough to get out before the amityville curse claim them . the amityville curse bear about as much resemblance to the amityville horror a a polar bear with lipstick do to marilyn monroe . it little more than a generic haunt house tale dress up with the amityville banner and when i say wouldressed up and i mean with the same amount of effort put into make a kalahari bushman pas for a diving instructor by give him a snorkel . set the event in amityville and one throwaway line from a yokel in a bar about a kid murder his parent doesn not make an amityville film . but and i reason with myself and what the hell maybe it will be like halloween iii represent season of the witch and which have nothing whatsoever to do with michael myers and but be an enjoyable film in it own right . unfortunately and a hackneyed and incoherent script and annoyingly draw character and torturous act very quickly dash that optimism against the rock . still and the amityville curse do helpfully offer up suggestion on thing you could be do that would be less painful than watch it and like be menace by domestic pet and play with poisonous chemical and or maybe have someone frisbee sharp cutting equipment into various part of your body . pretty much the only positive i can think of be the sultry presence of cassandra gava and who and unlike kim coates and seem to be put some genuine effort into her part possibly just to make the time go by quicker . there be some genuine acting talent in here and but they be unsurprisingly not inspire to prove this at any time by the script to hand and preferring to let dawna wightman crank up the hysteric to 10. certainly and this isn not the first time i have ask myself why a film be make i have see child of the corn vi and but the amityville curse be definitely another head scratcher . it lazy and peripheral attempt to hang onto the coattail of the amityville franchise only underscore a message we do not need to learn you can not staple a couple of kraft single to a tomato and call it a lasagne . likewise and it isn not a decent horror film in it own right . if there truly be a curse here and it bring to life every time someone decide to watch this thing .
