I wish I could give it negative stars. If you are a fan of The Amityville series, or just movies in general, do not waste your time on this. You will be horribly disappointed. The plot and characters are poorly written., The writers obviously thought that riding the Amityville coat tales would be enough for a semi successful movie. They could not have been more wrong. This movie goes nowhere. It was like watching a poorly written sitcom: weak ploy, weak acting, It is not to often than one comes across a movie this horrible. I tried watching just hoping it would get better but I could not get through 20 minutes before shutting it off.

The fifth Amityville movie. Oh boy where to begin....Well this one has nothing to do with Amityville except the fact that it is in the same town. The story is pretty much a murder mystery. Kinda like an episode of Matlock or Murder She wrote, except with no watchable qualities to it. The movie drags on and on. The plot is about a priest who was shot to death years ago during a confession. The confessional booth that the priest was killed in is brought to an old house. Twelve years later, a group of stuffy middle aged people move in and strange things start to happen. Broken mirrors, bad dreams, ghost sightings, etc.Now the funny thing is, the man who killed the priest in the beginning is shown smoking. Out of everyone in the movie, one person is a smoker. Gee, it doesn't take Perry Mason to put two and two together when it comes to naming the killer. The acting isn't the best either. Kim Coates appears bored with the whole experience. Unknown actress Dawna Wightman did okay portraying the innocent and sweet danger sensing lead character. The rest are practically meaningless to the movie. But the biggest problem with the movie is that it has nothing to do with Amityville.So we have a mixed up plot, poor acting, and a murder mystery that can be figured out in the opening twenty minutes. Not a very fun watch at all. I will say though, the confrontation with the killer in the last fifteen minutes is kind of fun. It's really the only watchable part of the whole thing.3/10

This movie starts off in a church and someone is confessing their sins in the box and then we see that the priest as be shot in the Confessing box that end up being in the Amityville house.Then movies moves on to number of old adults moving into the house and then Marvin and Debbie buy the house and three friends: Frank, Bill and Abigail come to stay for a while and the former housekeeper, Mrs Moriarty also stop by now and again.This movie did not feel like Amityville movie at all, as there were no Haunting scene in this movie at all saying that there were two haunting scenes in this movie made no sense what so ever and not even scary or creepy at all they were just pointless Dream scenes to waste time.This movie is more like a Who done movie and then near the end of the movie we find out who being killer is and turns that person as been possessed since start of movie, we never saw any signs of that person being possessed at all. (As to been one of the worst twist ever!) I have seen all the Amityville movies now, this movie is the most pointless Amityville sequel ever and there no need to see this movie at all, there is noT one second worth watching in this movie. If you don't want to waste 1 and half hours of your life Please!!!!! skip this movie and Carry on with the rest of the series they are better then this one (not great but better).

I see that many viewers dislike this film, some intensely. I can understand that. But reading how this one is worse than the others? Not keen on that point. As far as I can tell, "The Amityville Curse" is no worse (or no better) than virtually any of the others in the series. This one is dull, inane, badly paced, sloppily rendered, (mostly) badly acted, silly, predictable and largely devoid of notable special effects. Except for the last descriptive, each of the above words can be applied to every one of the "Amityville" movies, and the special effects wasteland can be said for probably 3/4 of the others as well. So...the good points. ... Well, there is a decent feeling of creepiness somewhere towards the end of the film. Several others in the series lack even that. Otherwise, this is standard issue Amityville nonsense. Basically.
