Amityville Playhouse Reviews

Initial Thought: Finally I have reached the end of the crappy sequels. I am hoping that Awakening will be good given the talent associated with it. This doesn't look as bad as the previous two. The quality is a bit better here for sure.

Characters/Acting: A lot of the actors here are first timers. The director is also one of the stars here. The acting isn't very good, but it could have been much worse. John R. Walker is probably the only really decent actor here. In fact he does a lot better at acting than directing this.

Story: This time we are dealing with a shutdown public place instead of the usual home. That is kind of different, but it also kind of reminds me of a Phantom of the Opera kind of story. There were a few moments that didn't make much sense. Not much here really makes much sense. Also a few things should have been explored a bit more. The ending was a little bit different while at the same time predictable.

Directing/Writing: John R. Walker's directorial debut after being mostly an actor. He was actually in two pretty famous movies Woman in Black and Flyboys. He also came up with the story and stars as one of the more important characters. The other writer here is actually an actor too being credited for Duchess.

Final Thought: It's not the worst of the after remake sequels. I swear some stuff though is so bad I just couldn't help but laugh. Well I can at least say I finished the series. It may be pretty awful, but I didn't quit. The newest one looks like it's going to actually be good though. Everything after the remake should be avoided. They are just capitalizing on the name and offer nothing of value.
