Trivia:
In it's original release, the movie was officially titled "Amityville 1992: It's about time". When it was released on DVD almost 10 years later, it had a new box and the "1992" was dropped from the title. During the opening titles you can see a black box over the spot where "1992" should appear in the title. more

A much needed breath of fresh air, 6 July 2008
8/10
Author: sgtking from United States

After the special effects heavy '3-D,' the hokiness of 'The Evil Escapes,' and the barely related 'The Amityville Curse,' the haunted house series that started in 1979 either needed a permanent rest or a shot of life in the arm. In 1992 Republic Pictures released the sixth installment straight to video and after the blandness that was the previous installment I don't imagine it was met with much enthusiasm. And lets be honest, the world really didn't need another 'Amityville' sequel did it? But to the surprise of some viewers this sequel was actually not too bad. In fact it's actually rather good; more than it has any right to be.

Pros: Has some of the best writing in the series. Strong performances from everyone involved. A really nice score from Daniel Licht, who kind of made a career out scoring direct-to-video sequels in the 90s. Moves at a fine pace. Some creative and graphic death scenes. Excellent work on the special and make-up effects. A couple really intense and scary sequences. Predictable is not a word I would use when describing this film. Cool twist ending.

Cons: Though not a bad directing job it's nothing spectacular, especially compared to Tony Randel's work on 'Hellbound: Hellraiser II.' The finale is exciting, but also maybe a bit too over-the-top. Lacks the feeling of dread and sharp scares of the first two.

Final thoughts: I'd always enjoyed the first four films in this series, but never thought that highly of them. I also never expected this sequel to be as good as it is. Nowadays the majority of sequels that go straight to the video store shelf aren't watchable and a complete waste of time and money, but 'Amityville 1992' is one of those rare examples of one done right.

My rating: 4/5
