For God’s Sake, Take It Off: ‘Amityville Backpack’ Has Been Funded on Indiegogo

The unofficial Amityville Horror movies just keep getting weirder, with recent films including Amityville in Space, Amityville Thanksgiving, and Amityville Christmas Vacation.

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions.

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.” Last editorial, I pondered if the best films in the Amityville Horror franchise are the paired entries.

The Amityville IP: 1990 Canuxploitation Sequel ‘The Amityville Curse’ Is Watchable, But Forgettable

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.” Less than a year after the possessed lamp made its debut, Canada delivers the fifth entry in the Amityville franchise…and the result is a little ho-hum. I’m […]

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions.

The Amityville IP: 1983’s ‘Amityville 3D’ Has a Great Climax and a Bland Protagonist

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. After the highs of Amityville 2: The Possession, it’s hard not to see Amityville 3-D as something of a letdown. The Richard Fleischer-directed film lacks the visual flare that Damiano Damiani brought […]
