Amityville Island Movie Review




Trailer here.

Amityville Island is a 2020 horror movie and part of the Amityville series of films. It is directed by Mark Polonia and Paul Alan Steele and stars nobody you would know.

The film begins with a yard sale. A woman called Kelly Jo sees a very suspicious looking lady selling her oddities at the side of the road. She decides to buy all of her stuff(why???).  The lady informs her that the owners of the house where the stuff came from have gone. She says that she is the realtor. After selling the stuff to Kelly Jo, she kills herself after seeing a man in a red mask. Scary stuff... Kelly has bought a house in Amityville. She goes looking through the box of crap that she bought from the lady. There is a weird doll in it. When has a doll ever been good in these films. If I saw a creepy doll, that box would be burning in the back yard. Kelly gets possessed by the doll. Surprise. She kills her kids and our pal in the red mask appears to show that there is some evil afoot.


Kelly Jo ends up in prison and on death row. The prison guards are filming her and another prisoner. It is fight night. Who knew that prisons could hold their own fights and to make it even better, there is commentary! The demon still resides in Kelly and it helps her to beat up her opponent. Kelly and the other girl are going to an island. Her name is Renata and she attacks the prison guards on their way to the island.  She and Kelly reach the island and meet a doctor. They are implanted with a tracker. There are dogs on the islands and zombies too. There is a possessed shark in the water, but we only see that for a few seconds and that's it! Doctor Tyler brings the girls in to meet his colleague, Dr. Ormond. 


The doctors operate on Kelly Jo. The rest of the film shows us that the doctors are experimenting on prisoners. The doctors are trying to creature super soldiers. The girls try to escape. The doctors get attacked by their own creations. Kelly and Renata want to get off the crazy island. They manage to get to a boat and they leave. The film ends with Renata and Kelly living in a house. Kelly is about to give birth. She does but the baby is not human!!!!!!!


This film is awful. It really has no connection with the other Amityville films at all. It just uses the name for this piece of junk. This film made NO sense. The story was silly. The acting was really bad. The special effects left a lot to be desired. I know that these films are low budget and they don't have money for stuff, but don't use the Amityville name to promote your film. Amityville has nothing to do with this. This is a cheap film about an island. The poster shows a big shark on it and you would think that this will feature said shark, but the shark is only there for a few seconds. If you love the Amityville films, then this will annoy you, as it did me. I will give it a 1/10.
