Any time I see this thread bumped I expect it to be with the announcement that this movie is never being released.

I hear this is now out in Russia. Theyd want to release it before the Russian DVD comes out.

I am just in the process of bumping this thread.  I was browsing the last update on BOM for Russia and saw it was released.

Doubt it ever gets a NA release.

The saga has finally come to an end. It'll be available to stream for free on Google Play in October (with a limited theatrical release on 10/28 for some reason).

Watch this be the ultimate fate for Polaroid as well.

Polaroid is happening; I've already gotten the trailer TWICE (granted one of them was a Weinstein attachment)

Just remember that you might not pay any money to see it, but you will spend two hours of your life you will never get back.........

But,yeah, I think the studio did the smart thing to put it out of it's misery.

Consdiering that almost any horror movie, no matter how bad it may be, gets a theatrical release, I shudder at what POS this thing must be....

[Taylor]

It has a decent cast and the directors previous horror films weren't terrible (P2, Maniac), so I wonder if it's actually that bad or if it's more Weinstein's incompetence. 

[filmlover]

Between this, Friend Request, Tulip Fever, and Geostorm, we sure are seeing a bunch of movies shot in 2014 being put out of their misery at the same time.

Given the film's history, it's probably that bad. Decent movies don't fester on the shelves for two and half years. Particualrly in a genre where the core audience is very forgiving.

It'll be worth seeing why Weinstein delayed the fuck out of this

The hell kind of rollout is this?

I admit a certain morbid curiosity, but don't want to pay good monoey to satisfy it.

Maybe if it gets the Rifftrax/Mst3k treatment,which it seems to be screaming for....

Look, every studio makes movies that  turns out to be pure shit. Sometimes the movie gods just don't like you that day.

Where Harvey made his mistake is not in producing a bad movie...shit happens..but in his dithering in how to handle it.

He should have made up his mind early on after seeing he had a POS on his hand whther to just give it a quick theatrical release and take his lumps and get it over with, or send it straight to DTV/Streaming video. It was Harvey's inability to decide that is causing a good deal of the film industry to laugh at him  over this.

Here's the thing - no matter how bad this thing is and whether literally giving it away for free is warranted, it still cannot possibly be the worst Amityville movie.

 

So yeah, I'ma check it out.

[Xillix]

Okay so for real? This was actually pretty good, even in its neutered PG-13 form! It's definitely not a quality issue that kept it from theatres because it's a good bit better than most of the non-Conjuring related supernatural horror that's been out in the past couple years. Some of it is kind of silly but it's got some effective suspense and jumps and the story is at least moderately interesting. Shame Dimension couldn't get their shit together on this one.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Are you kidding, right? This piece of shit is easily the worst movie of year, there’s absolutely no redeem aspect here, everything is just painfully bad.

 

The movie looks like an amador movie, cheap as hell, one of the worst cinematography that I ever saw. Acting is brutal, Bella Throne can’t act even if her life depends on this. The characters are extremely unbearable and stupid. There’s not even decent jump scares to keep you awake. I know that there’s a lot of bad Amityville movies out there, but this one managed to bring the worst of each of them, awful.

[Xillix]

Sorry but no way in hell is this anywhere near as bad as The Bye Bye Man, Rings, Phoenix Forgotten, It Comes at Night, Friend Request, Flatliners... and certainly not most of the direct-to-video Amityville movies. If this is the worst cinematography you've ever seen then I can't imagine you've seen very many movies
