Someone asked me the other day, “Have you seen Weapons yet?”

Nope.

“Sinners?”

No.

“These are the most important horror movies of the year. Why haven’t you?”

Because I have all these Popeye and Mickey Mouse slashers, and then Amityville…

After moving into a mysterious rental house in Amityville, New York — that’s how it always happens — artificial intelligence programmer Stuart Birdsall (Chris Heikka) encounters an evil force that kills his wife Vicki (Laura Schubring) and friends, but leaves him alive to go insane.

Another day in Amityville.

Directed and written by Matt Jaissle, this is better than you’d think. That’s because he’s the same maniac who made The Necro Files, so some of that madness is infused here. He also made Amityville AI, which is the start of this story. Also: He understands the Amityville + noun = success formula. He also gets that you must have a great tagline. This one? For God’s sake, stop the simulation.

Throw in a skeleton man and you get a movie that actually spent more than five minutes in scripting, which is four minutes more than most Amityville movies get. That’s right — this is an actual decent Amityville movie! That’s terrifying!

You can watch this on Tubi.
