Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

lukem-52760 Amityville Dollhouse is a really fun 90s supernatural Horror & Thriller & it's absolutely fine!!! It's what it's ment to be a fun straight to video Horror. I like it when sequels move onto other characters & other situations but are slightly linked to the others films it creates a fun universe within the franchise just like what Halloween did with the BRILLIANT cult classic season of the witch & what Friday the 13th did with A new beginning!!! That's all fun to me & stops things getting boring so here in Dollhouse it's all completely new characters & a new setting & new house & IT'S all good creepy fun, i enjoyed bk in the 90s when i got it on video & it's still good fun now & a hundred times better than most of todays crap

homecoming8 "Amityville Dollhouse" is Part 8 in the "Amityville Saga" and I saw them all last week. So let's look back at all of them.."The Amityville Horror" (1979): Still a classic like "The Shining" and "Poltergeist". A scary story based on true events with solid performances by James Brolin, Margot Kidder and Rod Steiger. After 30 years, it's still a strong movie and not outdated at all."Amityville II: The Possession" (1982): A Very good sequel, not as strong as the original because it has it's flaws. The last 20 minutes is a bit too much a rip-off of "The Exorcist". But once again, scary with a good cast (Burt Young from the "Rocky" films) and it was daring to put the incest element in the plot, but it works very well to it's advantage."Amityville 3D: The Demon" (1983) : After the success of the second one, quickly produced again by Dino DeLaurentius. The first weak entry in the series, not scary with a weak ending and poor effects."Amityville Horror: The Evil Escapes" (1989) : One of the worst, with a stupid plot: an ugly lamp from the original house (that was blown up at the end of Part 3, so what the hell ?) holds the demon that terrorizes a new family. Made-For-TV movie that comes off very cheap."The Amityville Curse" (1990) : Another bad TV-movie, many reviews say this is the worst but at least there is some horror at the end. It's not PG-13 stuff like the previous two and it has Kim Coates. But he can't save the dull story that goes absolutely nowhere."Amityville 1992: It's About Time" (1992) : The best of all sequels besides the second part. This time, directed by Tony Randell (Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Ticks). With once again a decent score (Daniel Licht) and an entertaining story. This was actually based on the same novel as the fourth one (Amityville: The Evil Escapes) but it's way better !! "Amityville: A New Generation" (1993) : A good cast but overall not a very convincing story. David Naughton (An American Werewolf In London), Terry O'Quinn (The Stepfather, TV's Lost) and Julia Nickson (Rambo: First Blood Part II): Nice to see them again. But that's the only good thing, this is certainly not one of the worst sequels, but that does not mean it's a really good genre movie."Amityville Dollhouse" (1996) : The eight movie with once again something from the original house. Not a lamp, not a clock but this time a dollhouse which is in fact the model of the original house from Part 1. Hardly original, the girl looks a lot like the one from "Poltergeist" (just look at the poster, not badly done..) and the demons at the end do remind you of the ending of "Hellraiser". But this time they're not scary at all. Those special make-up effects are not convincing. But there is one good thing: the make-up effects used for the zombie soldier are very well done. But once again, not original because they stole that from "House" (1986). Not scary, not convincing, unfortunately another weak entry in the series.Luckily, the stopped making sequels after that one. In 2005 the remake of the original one was released with Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George. I have to say that it's certainly not as good as the original, but looking at the sequels, it's the best "Amityville" since part 2.

Vomitron_G Don't ask me what encouraged me to re-watch this. Can't really explain it myself. I guess I just wanted to see if I thought it was still "okay" (as that was what I seemed to remember about it from my 90's viewing). And I guess it probably is "okay", though it feels kind of wrong to say it. Because AMITYVILLE: DOLLHOUSE seems as good an example as many, to show why horror was going the wrong way during the 90's: It's just too unimaginative, formulaic and generic. It basically fails to impress.We got a new family moving into a new house (Starr Andreeff might actually be a reason for some to watch this -- I myself was kind of pleased that at least she was in it). Daddy finds a dollhouse in the backyard shack and gives it to his daughter -- and since we've seen all the previous Amityville-installments, we can only guess that the toy house is a vessel inhabited by the Amityville-evil. And the evil manifests itself in many ways (at least there's some variety in these matters), which soon becomes too routinely. Best one of these manifestations is probably a dead & rotten ghost-daddy coming back from the grave, playing his evil tricks. There's a somewhat interesting subplot about the history of the house, once destroyed in a fire, but not much is done with it.It's basically family-stuff going on in some scenes (presumably to give the characters some depth), mixed with supernatural happenings on which you can set a timer (that's how routinely it all plays out). And by the time the climax comes around - featuring a dimensional-portal through a fireplace, two pitchfork-wielding demons (doing nothing more than just that) and some master-devil-dude-puppet with wings that don't fly - it's just too little, too late.AMITYVILLE: DOLLHOUSE might be pleasing for undemanding horror fans growing up in the 90's, and it's far from the worst horror movie you'll ever see. But it doesn't hold a candle to most other sequels from other franchises being cranked out at the time (and even before its straight-to-video release). On the upside: It didn't get any worse after 1993's AMITYVILLE: A NEW GENERATION and it does sort of have the same vibe as AMITYVILLE: IT'S ABOUT TIME. In fact, all three movies are about on par with each other. Does that say anything?I thought of a plea for abating circumstances, when it comes to this installment... but only a little more, a little sooner would have gained it an extra point.

Reaper-of-Souls Needing a present for his daughter's birthday, a father finds an old dusty doll house and decides to clean it up to make it presentable. What he doesn't realize, this doll house isn't for innocent little playthings, this house holds evil spirits inside! Unknowingly, the little girl releases the evil inside and the spirits are free to wreck havoc.A pretty good sequel that contains some good, eerie and creepy moments throughout. Out of all the sequels the original 'Amityville Horror' has spawned, this is one of the better ones. This is an entertaining film with a good concept. So sit back and enjoy.
