Amityville

About This Movie

So, there's this new entry in the Amityville saga directed by Joseph Winter. The film dives deeper into the infamous haunted house's lore, pulling from some lesser-known supernatural myths that give it a unique twist. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive, with a focus on building tension rather than just jump scares. Practical effects are used throughout, which adds a gritty realism that suits the tone, and the pacing feels deliberate, allowing dread to seep in slowly. Performances seem solid, with a cast that appears to really tap into the psychological horror aspects of the story. It’s distinct from earlier interpretations in its approach to the haunting, and I’m curious to see how it fits into the wider franchise. Definitely worth a look for collectors interested in horror's evolution.
