You just said that AMITYVILLE: AWAKENING is better than IT COMES AT NIGHT? :rip:

Yeah. To each their own I like horror movies where scary things happen.

 

Or anything happens.

 

Or there's a story.

Amityville doesn’t fit in any of these categories, tbh.

Amityville is the weirdest franchise ever, it’s one of the biggest franchises of history when it comes to released movies, but it doesn’t have one decent movie.

The first one was nominated for an Oscar

I’m talking about released movies, this franchise has more than 18 movies, I watched half of them and they’re all horrible.

Depends how strict you are with the definition of "franchise." Technically the real-life Lutz family had the sequel rights to the original movie so there's never actually been an official sequel at all. Since it's an allegedly true story and a real place anyone can make an "Amityville" movie as long as they don't infringe on prior copyrighted works.

They’re all part of the same property, that’s what makes a franchise to me. And Jay Anson admitted that the whole story was false.

This thing has been shuffled around since before I joined these forums

What a supremely mediocre movie and Bella Thorne continues to get roles in movies despite not being able to act well at all and having virtually no screen presence.

I find it hilarious that Amityville, The Babysitter, and Keep Watching are all practically streaming or VOD titles. Should have done Boo 2. At least she would have had one hit this Halloween.

Maybe she wasn't offered a role a Boo 2.

She is a total mess in real life at the moment. Looks like she’s really into drugs. She’s lost her looks too.

You hate Cabin in the Woods and Drag Me To Hell so take several seats when it comes to horror films. 

[The Stingray]

Cabin in the Woods is hella overrated. Need to rewatch Drag Me to Hell.

Cabin in the Woods  starts out very well with a very good core concept but fell apart for me by the end

 

Drag Me To Hill -  suffice to say, my tabby died the week before and then we got to a certain scene and I tuned it off.  Hell's too good for some people.

He did no such thing; he only admitted he embellished certain aspects to make the book a better read.

 

I don't really believe in this sort of thing but it's technically never been proven/admitted a hoax. The only person to "confess" it was all made up was Ronnie DeFeo's lawyer, and that was during a lawsuit to get revenue from the book. He claimed he made it up with the Lutzes over "many bottles of wine," yet he's also the one who mandated in his contract with them that they take and pass a polygraph test (which they did).

Not a big surprised considering that the she was the worst part of the first movie, and it means a lot considering how awful the whole movie is.
