...fondly remembered by genre fans, well put together and reasonably sturdy for a third instalment, even if it’s just a retread with the edge removed in favour of wide-eyed, almost child-like willingness to believe in absurd supernatural situations...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 16, 2024

While Tony Roberts' Baxter is a bore, there is enough odd and unusual material here to merit a look. If only the film had embraced the madcap ridiculousness of the climax throughout its runtime and wasn’t encumbered by such a dud protagonist!

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2022

A superior haunted house movie.

| Aug 1, 2022

No longer a haunted house movie at all, but simply a collection of crummy shock scenes with absolutely no shock.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2017

a quickie cash-in on both the early '80s revitalized 3-D craze and the success of the previous two Amityville films

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 14, 2017

It so utterly fails to articulate its threat that the scary stuff presumably facilitated by everyone's moronic behavior turns into a running joke.

| Original Score: D | Nov 19, 2013

Unlike the first two Amityville titles, this one makes no claim to authenticity, but such honesty doesn't save it from being a terrible movie.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 16, 2013

Veteran director Richard Fleischer demonstrates a keen understanding of the potentials of the 3-D gimmick here, but there is little else to recommend this dull retread.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 3, 2009

There is hardly anything original about the picture.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 8, 2008

To pad things out characters argue over story-lines from previous Amityville movies, while for 3-D purposes, wasps, furniture and minor players are hurled in our direction at varying intervals.

A third Amityville film wasn't made to win Oscars, it was made to give you entertainment, a couple of scares and then you forget about it, and it succeeds on all three for me.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 8, 2005

Replaces derivation with gimmicks.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 4, 2005

...presented in standard 2-D format and does not require special glasses to view. However, I don't see how wearing them can possibly hurt.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 4, 2005

...thoroughly bereft of any interesting ideas, as evidenced by the film's absurdly underwhelming climax...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 28, 2005

The cast is good, but the characters are idiots.

Entirely flat, despite the gimmicky effects
