The Amityville Curse is a well-known topic in the realm of paranormal and haunted houses. The story revolves around a house located in Amityville, New York, which is said to be cursed. The curse allegedly began in 1974 when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family while they slept in the house. After the murders, the house was put up for sale and eventually purchased by the Lutz family. The Lutz family moved into the house in 1975 but only lasted 28 days before fleeing in terror, claiming they were experiencing paranormal activities and being tormented by evil entities.
Five people spend the night in an abandoned haunted house in Amityville, Long Island and soon find themselves terrorized by assorted ghosts, venomous insects and ghostly apparitions.
And it was also remastered on Prime, makes me think it s about to drop from Vinegar Syndrome soon, to go with that amazing box set they released awhile back. Holzer was a parapsychologist who invested the supposedly haunted house in Amityville in the 70s and went on to write the books Murder in Amityville which served as a source of inspiration for Amityville II The Possession , The Secret of Amityville , and yes, The Amityville Curse.
The Lutz family moved into the house in 1975 but only lasted 28 days before fleeing in terror, claiming they were experiencing paranormal activities and being tormented by evil entities. These alleged experiences include strange noises, foul odors, swarms of flies, mysterious slime oozing from the walls, and even physical attacks by unseen forces. The family also reported seeing glowing red eyes and apparitions of the deceased DeFeo family.

Not a lot happens. Well stuff happens but it's small scale things for most of the runtime. It's like a house flippers show that takes place in Amityville, but doesn't have enough renovation or ghosty happenings to make it interesting. BUT, if you enjoy people having visions, yelling into the cosmos and walking around a dark house a lot, it's perfect. Well maybe not perfect, but I was into it. apart from a scene in a confessional towards the end that seems to take 2 hours. Just reveal the why and then shoot the priest. We already know you're going to shoot him from the start of the movie. I do enjoy a good saw blade throwing. That part actually made me laugh/cheer.
The story of the Amityville Curse gained widespread attention with the release of a book titled "The Amityville Horror" by Jay Anson in 1977. The book was followed by a movie adaptation in 1979, which further popularized the curse. Since then, the Amityville Curse has become a popular subject in the realm of paranormal investigations and has been the inspiration for numerous movies, books, and documentaries. However, skepticism and controversy surround the story, with many questioning the authenticity of the Lutz family's claims. Some skeptics argue that the Amityville Curse was nothing more than a cleverly crafted hoax to capitalize on the popularity of the paranormal at that time. Others believe that the Lutz family may have exaggerated or fabricated their experiences for financial gain. Despite the controversy, the Amityville Curse remains ingrained in popular culture and continues to fascinate and terrify those interested in the supernatural. The house itself has passed through different owners since the Lutz family's ordeal and has been renovated multiple times, but its legacy as a place of alleged paranormal activity persists..
Reviews for "The Supernatural Forces Behind the Amityville Curse Cast"
1. Samantha - 2 stars
I really didn't enjoy "The Amityville Curse Cast". The storyline felt incredibly disjointed and confusing, making it difficult to follow along with the plot. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard for me to connect or care about their fates. Additionally, the acting was subpar, with many of the performances feeling forced and lacking authenticity. Overall, I found myself bored and unsatisfied throughout the entire film.
2. Michael - 1 star
I found "The Amityville Curse Cast" to be a complete waste of time. The movie lacked any sort of originality and fell prey to the tired tropes of the horror genre. The scares were predictable and unoriginal, failing to elicit any genuine fear or suspense. The dialogue was painfully cliché, filled with cheesy one-liners and cringe-worthy moments. The overall plot was weak and without any real substance. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
3. Emily - 2 stars
"The Amityville Curse Cast" had potential, but it fell flat in execution. The pacing was off, with the movie dragging in some parts and rushing through others. This made it difficult to invest in the story or the characters. The special effects were lackluster and failed to create any sense of genuine horror. The final act felt rushed and left many loose ends unresolved. While the premise of the film had promise, the final product was disappointing and failed to deliver.
4. Daniel - 2.5 stars
I was excited to watch "The Amityville Curse Cast" but left feeling underwhelmed. The film lacked the psychological depth and suspense that I was expecting from a horror movie. The scares were mostly reliant on jump scares and typical horror movie tropes, which felt cheap and unoriginal. Additionally, the characters felt underdeveloped, making it difficult to connect with them and care about their well-being. While there were a few moments of tension, overall, the film failed to leave a lasting impression.
