Not to worry though, this one is surprisingly twisted, swapping crucifix-f*cking for a sequence where a brother seduces his pubescent sister, and the film manages to generate some effectively eerie moments. No long lost masterpiece, but directed with flair and enthusiasm by Bullet for the General's Damiano Damiani.
Anyone know if the US MGM or UK Scanbox DVD is worth getting ? I would watch this again... |
I really enjoyed this one too! Especially as it has Andrew Prine,,probably one of my favourite cult actors in it as the priest!
If your going to get any release the uk edition is the way to go butt be careful, make sure to get the special edition release with kim newman commentary as this is the best release imo.

its a bit dearer but worth every penny, they also gave part 3 a similar release...
Amazon.co.uk: Buying Choices: Amityville 3-D: The Demon (Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1983]
the films not as good, but the commentary is fun and it has the 3d version on it!
