My waiting time is over. I finally saw it last week! And I have to say that I absolutely loved it.
What's it about? In 1974, 'he' murdered his entire family as they slept in a haunted house, in Amityville, but 40 years later, a single mother that moves her three children into that the same house.
This movie is terrific, crazy and scary with some creepy moments. But yet, it's a lot of fun to watch. It has great jump scares! I found the twists crazy.
One thing in this movie made me surprise is that they showed the actual Amityville DVDs (the original, Amityville II: The Possession and the remake) and I loved how they showed it. They said new versions are boring, so they picked the original to watch and some of the characters watched it on TV.
Let's talk about the characters:
Bella Thorne gave a likable character, good acting and she showed her emotional moments. She wasn't dumb, neither annoying. She seemed awesome when she was fighting with the demon in the last scene.
Jennifer Jason Leigh gives a creepy performance. She played really crazy mother who already knew about the 'Amityville Horror' murders and she thought everything would be better in a possessed house in Amityville, but she was also good. She did a good job.
Cameron Monaghan was really creepy as looking. He was easily the best and creepiest part of the movie.
The little girl is nothing special like Chloe Moretz was.
It's not for everyone, but if you like the remake, Rob Zombie's remake, The Possession, etc. you definitely should to see it. Since you need a time for this movie to release. It's just an entertaining film!

However, this is a series I ought to binge soon. I want to have hope in Franck Khalfoun, so I might give this one a chance. As a completionist, I might have to bear through all the other bullshit though...
I've seen 1, 2, 3, and part of 4. I hated the flashy remake with the sexy, sexy Ryan Reynolds.
