Description

A return to the most dangerous house in the world.

After purchasing a property in Amityville, New York, Debbie (stage veteran Dawna Wightman) and her husband (Hangfire’s David Stein) invite three of their closest friends to help renovate. Immediately uneasy in her new surroundings, Debbie begins experiencing shockingly vivid nightmares. Vague unease turns to outright terror when the home’s inhabitants discover its brutal past, and a mysterious visitor turns up dead. As the line between nightmare and reality disappears, their focus shifts from renovation to escape, but it’s not clear who can be trusted – or who will make it out alive.

One of the most overlooked entries in any major horror franchise, The Amityville Curse deviates from series formula, to surprising, amusing, and unsettling effect. Handsomely shot by Rodney Gibbons (My Bloody Valentine) and based on a novel by famed parapsychologist Hans Holzer – who also wrote the source material for Amityville II: The Possession – this inspired oddity is full of memorable horror flourishes and moments of jaw-dropping weirdness. With a lively ensemble that includes Kim Coates (Innocent Blood), Cassandra Gava (Conan the Barbarian), Helen Hughes (The Incubus), and Jan Rubes (Witness), The Amityville Curse is essential Canuxploitation viewing.

    A weird little Amityville detour that deserves more love 😁

    The Amityville Curse is one of the stranger entries in the franchise, and that’s exactly why I like it. Instead of just copying the original movie again, it leans into creepy-house atmosphere, family tension, supernatural weirdness, and that slightly grimy Canadian horror feel.

    Kim Coates is always fun to watch, and the movie has a nice slow-burn quality where things gradually get more unsettling instead of throwing everything at you right away. It’s definitely an oddball Amityville movie, but I’d rather have something weird and different than another straight repeat of the same formula.

    The Blu-ray looks really solid too. Canadian International Pictures scanned it in 2K from the original 35mm camera negative, and the interviews, commentary, booklet, and reversible artwork give the release a lot more substance than I expected.

    And the Wes Benscoter variant slipcover is killer — loud artwork, great colors, and confirmed spot gloss. It was limited to 2,000 copies, so this one feels like a proper collector edition.

    Weird franchise entry, strong atmosphere, great packaging. Easy 5/5 for me. 😁
