Keyes is a successful photographer who lives at the border of Skid Row. While walking home one day, he notices a homeless man with a strange old mirror. Immediately struck by it for reasons he cannot explain, Keyes convinces the odd old man to sell it to him. However, the mirror seems to have a strange effect on all those who look at it, and it's not long before Keyes himself starts behaving in increasingly erratic and unhinged ways, unaware that his actions are being controlled by an evil force lurking inside of the mirror; a force determined to use his soul to awaken an unspeakable evil.
Set against the beginnings of gentrification in LA’s notorious Skid Row, John Murlowski’s AMITYVILLE: A NEW GENERATION blends neon-tinged lighting and hefty bloodshed in this distinctly early 90s flavored entry in the franchise. Starring Ross Partridge (Stranger Things), Julia Nickson (Babylon 5) and David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London), plus photographed by Academy Award winner Wally Pfister (The Dark Knight, Inception), Vinegar Syndrome brings AMITYVILLE: A NEW GENERATION to Blu-Ray in a new 4K restoration of its original camera negative.

"I love a deep series sequel as much as, if not more than, the next guy. Sure, the quality of script isn't always there and some of the scenes make no sense, but that's what we're here for. Let's take a chance and do something no one expects, even if it just doesn't work out the way we expect."
"By this point in the series, Amityville is firmly in guilty‑pleasure territory, and this entry is no exception. There’s some fun practical effects work and plenty of silly, gruesome moments that make it an easy, entertaining watch. Not essential, but definitely good for a fun time."
"Top tier transfer on this version. Hits all the beats you want from the franchise. Some twist and turns along the way. Just a fun movie . Grab it ."
"At least it was amityville. Okay movie but transfer was good. Enjoyed the movie for what it was."
