The Evans children have just suffered the untimely death of their beloved father. After moving with their mother into their grandmother's gothic seaside mansion, they soon become hosts to an uninvited demonic force in the form of a mysterious lamp that once resided in the Amityville house. As unexplained, and increasingly violent, events start occurring in and around the property, Jessica, the youngest member of the household, begins to believe that her father has secretly returned. Unfortunately, it's actually a demon taking on his likeness ready to terrorize and kill anyone and everyone in order to be fully reborn in human form.

"Say what you want about the third or fourth sequel and its intentions, I always enjoy seeing how far a storyline can stretch. I'm always down for another Amityville Horror and at the sale price, this one was hard to resist."
"I actually did enjoy this one. Lol! It’s definitely for those who like the Cheesy B Horror."
"Another classic. Campy. Funny. Entertaining for sure. All the Amityville movies are good in my opinion. Definitely pick this up if you can."
"TV movie fun!"
"Not in the class as the original but I love anything in the amityville universe."
"It's an amityville cheese fest"
"Happy to have"
"Good"
"Love this series"
"Six years after Amityville 3D, fans of the series were treated to this made for TV sequel. While not as exciting as a new theatrical feature, and expectedly dulled down by TV standards, it's still a nostalgic trip. Patty Duke elevates the proceedings, and fans of Days of our Lives will enjoy the small role of Peggy McCay (Caroline Brady!). But in true 80s fashion, the evil forces of Amityville split town and head to California to haunt in the sunshine. That change of location detracts from the feeling that this is a true Amityville movie, but it's still good, cheesy fun. The presentation and quality is outstanding for an 80s TV movie, as well. Recommended for fans!"
