Ghost stories are always fun, especially at the end of a
long day. Earlier, I spent a few hours out at the lake doing some fishing.
Unfortunately, very little was biting (twp small trout and a bluegill),
hopefully, things start picking up. Now, let me get back to the blog with my
next review, The Amityville Haunting from 2011.
Plot/ Tyler Benson, a teenage boy, uses his camcorder to
record the experiences of himself, his two sisters and parents at the house,
and some of the story is told through CCTV camera footage, after cameras are
installed in the house. Various unexplained events occur, culminating in the
deaths of all of the members of the Benson family.
I know found footage videos have become all the rage, but it
needs to stop. This installment of the genre has to be one of the worst I have
seen, following (ripping off) every cliché out there with movies in the
subgenre. The acting is uneven, scripting bad and pacing just bad. Really, it
is as if a mixed up combo of Paranormal Activity meets Grave Encounters meet the
Amityville Horror popped up. Even for a movie from The Asylum, this one is
horrid. There are no redeeming qualities, and I wish I could get the time I
wasted watching it back. Stay away and honestly, someone please stop the
madness of these found footage flicks enough is enough.
