"A depressing imitation of The Exorcist." - Nick Schager

I had this on VHS when I was little. Past tense.

Weird movie. You get one great scene involving a dinner table sheet, and then you get the French girl from "Better Off Dead" making love to, you guessed it, her brother. Weird movie.

"Take off your nightgown". Wow, that house has rather perverse ghosts dwelling there. I mean, the boy plows his sister! It's stupid on a normal basis, but pretty damn entertaining when you're drunk with friends. ^_^

In addition to the demonic-possession angle, there's a teenager who sleeps with his sister and shotguns his entire family. Yet this movie still manages to be as boring as the day is long. An astonishing cinematic achievement -- just the wrong kind

I'm probably going out on a limb here (and sawing it off) by saying that this is the best of the Amityvilles. Laughably anxiety-ridden acting but there are some good makeup FX and flamboyant camera work guaranteed to give you whiplash.
