Amityville: Dollhouse

About This Movie

So, Amityville: Dollhouse kind of flies under the radar, doesn’t it? Directed by Steve White, it carries a different vibe compared to other entries in the Amityville franchise. The pacing can feel a bit uneven but there’s a creepy atmosphere that builds around the dollhouse itself, which is a solid focal point for the horror. Practical effects bring some memorable moments, particularly with the dolls taking on their sinister roles. The performances aren't award-winning, but they do the job in establishing the tension. It's interesting how it plays with themes of family and the past haunting the present. The whole thing has a unique charm for collectors, especially if you appreciate the different directions the series has taken over the years.
