Ghosts of Amityville

About This Movie

Ghosts of Amityville (2022) is one of those films that really leans into the unsettling atmosphere typical of the Amityville lore. JT Kris crafts a slow-burn horror that plays with childhood fears, using practical effects to bring that clown demon to life in ways that feel grounded. The pacing has this creeping dread, almost like the breaths between heartbeats, and the performance from the young actress portraying Olivia carries a weight that feels genuine. Themes of grief wrap around the horror elements, making it more than just a scare fest. There's something distinctly eerie about how it juxtaposes the innocence of childhood with the twisted realities of the supernatural. It’s an interesting take on the franchise, certainly worth a closer look for collectors interested in modern interpretations of classic horror.
