Horror Movie Review: Amityville VR (2024)
Marginally better than some of the worst films in the Amityville ‘franchise’, Matt Jaissle’s Amityville VR is a torturous experience and follows on from 2024’s Amityville AI, an equally terrible film.

A good idea, wasted, Amityville AI isn’t good, but it’s not the worst of the franchise either.
There have been so many bad ‘Amityville’ films now, that it is easy to forget there are actually good ones here and there. Amityville Apt. is such a film, even if its anthology-style story isn’t always the easiest to follow.
It was inevitable, wasn’t it? There have been so many movies taking the Amityville name, attempting to cash in on its ever-diminishing value, while having nothing to do with the original horror, that one based around the festive season was always going to happen. In fact, it’s crazy that it hasn’t happened before.
Written by Geno McGahee and directed by Louis DeStefano, Amityville Emanuelle does the surprising thing of actually trying to tie this movie’s horror into the original events, both real and imagined.
Written by Craig McLearie and directed by Adam Cowie, Amityville Scarecrow 2 is set one year after the events of the first movie.
It’s just another film in a long line of films that has nothing going for it and only gets a bit of attention because it has the Amityville name slapped on it.
Amityville Cult comes from writer/director Trey Murphy and stars Chance Gibbs, Micha Marie Stevens and Tom Young.
