Witch Upon a Star - (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries) by Angela M Sanders (Paperback)
Josie is eager to show off Wilfred's delights to her visiting sister, Jean--even though Josie must conceal her magic from her. In any case, Jean is excited to attend Cookie Masterson's trademark Ready-Set-Go! workshop on becoming a life coach. Then there's the grand reopening of Darla's Cafe, where the doors are thrown open to reveal . . . a dead man, stabbed in the back. That was definitely not on the revamped menu. Even more worrisome, the sheriff receives a report of a fresh corpse at the retreat center. Maybe murder isn't so uncommon in Wilfred anymore, but two unfamiliar bodies within an hour certainly is! Josie's willing to let law enforcement take the lead--after all, she's gotten into some trouble from the hints the library's spellbound books keep feeding her about the patrons. But when her sister receives the killer's chilling calling card, she'll use everything within her otherworldly powers to divine just who in town has homicide as his new slogan . . .--Amazon.

It is worth watching for its nostalgic value and as a guilty pleasure. Overall, The Amityville Curse players do their best to navigate the low-budget production and bring some entertainment value to the film..
Reviews for "Exploring the Urban Legends About The Amityville Curse Players"
1. John - 1/5
I recently watched "The Amityville Curse Players" and was extremely disappointed. The whole movie lacked originality and creativity. The plot was predictable and felt like a rehash of other supernatural horror films. The acting was subpar, with most of the characters delivering their lines in a wooden and unconvincing manner. The scares were cheap and relied heavily on jump scares, rather than building genuine suspense. Overall, "The Amityville Curse Players" failed to deliver any genuine scares or memorable moments, and I would not recommend wasting your time on this film.
2. Mary - 2/5
I had high hopes for "The Amityville Curse Players" but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The story had potential, but the execution felt rushed and poorly developed. The characters lacked depth and their motivations were unclear. Additionally, the special effects were lackluster and did not enhance the horror elements of the film. While there were a few moments of tension, overall, the movie failed to create a truly terrifying atmosphere. If you're a die-hard fan of supernatural horror, you might find some enjoyment in "The Amityville Curse Players," but for me, it was a forgettable and underwhelming experience.
3. Sarah - 1/5
"The Amityville Curse Players" was one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen. The plot was convoluted and made little sense, leaving me confused and frustrated throughout the film. The characters were cardboard cutouts, lacking any depth or relatability. It felt like the filmmakers were more interested in creating jump scares than crafting a compelling story. Unfortunately, even the jump scares were predictable and uninspired. I would highly advise against wasting your time on "The Amityville Curse Players" as it offers nothing new or exciting to the horror genre.
