The Amityville Haunting

The Amityville Haunting...2011...86 minutes...starring Luke Barnett, Casey Campbell, Devin Clark, and Steven Dell...directed by Geoff Meed

Oh, look! Someone found film footage about another family who decided to brave living in the Amityville house. I'm sure they settled in nicely and everything was nice and quiet. No? Murder and supernatural mayhem? I'm shocked...SHOCKED, I say.

I'd love to give this film a full review, but I honestly can't. If you've read my sporadic blog, or even just skimmed the titles, you'll know that I have a fairly strong stomach when it comes to bad movies. I've made it through some real hounds. But for the first time in recent memory, I actually stopped a movie and said "No more!" I think I made it in about half an hour or so before deciding I was done. I'm not a huge fan of the mockumentaries and found footage films, but they can be done passably well, and I get that they can be made on the cheap. This selection should be used as the example of how NOT to make one of these movies.

That's it. I can't even give it a 1-5 rating in all honesty, but really: no. Just no.
