A couple are living in it but strange things are happening at their complex. They feel a presence there. The evil interferes with the priest and he ends up becoming possessed by it.  Next we see a woman called Lavina(Kassandra Escandell) who is searching for zodiac signs to take her back to the 1600's. Zelda(Brinke Stevens) and Luna(Chantal Casutt) are helping . Cut back to 1950's Amityville, A group of friends go to a palm reader. There are weirdos in there and Lavinia is also there. The girls end up being killed.

Next story begins with a guy in one of the apartments who gets a note saying 'beware'. He writes a note saying 'of what?' and slides it under his door. He gets a reply on bloodstained paper. It says 'me'. Something evil drags him off. Next tale begins with a dad and his daughter. They discuss her dead mother's occult collection. They know someone who might take it off their hands. The dad finds a figure and he takes it out. It is a statue of a demon. It freezes people who mess with it. The demon emerges from the statue and the dad hits it. The dad and daughter show it it's own reflection in the mirror and it freezes itself, end of story.

In a new apartment, a girl called Carly(Jacquelyn Stern) gets a present outside her door. It's a jack in the box. She takes a photo of herself and there is a clown behind her. Next, a balloon floats in. She hides in the closet. The clown shows up and ties her up. In the next story, a musician called Jeff(Jared Rivet) gets a call. His boss sends him a video to help with his work. The video is weird. There is some sort of ritual happening and it has music. A weird creature sees him. Jeff tries to recreate the music. He starts to see and hear things. The creature shows up at his apartment. He runs away. He gets a call from his boss. She wants him to have the music written. He has lost a day. The creature pulls him away. It ends with Jeff being inside the video as the creature is going to kill him.

In the final story, a woman called Jody(Nicole Cinaglia) is hearing noises in her apartment. She is on the phone with her sister. The sister tells her to look around and see. There is nothing there. A figure is actually in her apartment. Jody hears voices. A woman called Jackie(Maria Shapley) hears screaming. She and her boyfriend talk about the Amityville story . She is worried . The apartment is built on the same land as the original house. The boyfriend laughs at her. Jackie hears voices telling her to kill the boyfriend. She gets her gun and shoots him and then herself.

I hardly know where to start with this film. It uses the Amityville name but is very loosely connected to that house. The stories are just thrown together and there aren't many scares or tense moments. The only story I really liked was the clown one. That could have made a decent film by itself. There were too many stories and they weren't fleshed out properly. I think they could have cut out a few and made the okay ones better. That's why I am giving this one a 3/10.

This film has so much happening in it that it is confusing at times. There are some good kills in it though. There is a scene with a saw that is gruesome! I liked this and I recommend it for fans of euro slashers. I will give it a 5/10.
