Goofs:

Continuity: In Suki's room we see a set of 3 Hi-Fi components stacked on each other: 2 silver (cassette deck and amplifier) and 1 black (cd-player). In the first shot we see the black one (cd) stacked in the middle with the two silver ones on top and at the bottom. After a while (next close shot) we see the same components but they are stacked differently: The black (cd-player) lays at the bottom with the two other silver components on top of it.

Kinda' stole the Friday the 13th TV series plot line...

Okay, maybe I'm a little bit too harsh on this movie, since I worked on it and got stiffed on the Credits for SFX... But, I hadn't seen it in about eight years, and when I recently managed to track down a Laser Disc version of Amityville: a New Generation,(yes, the older, really BIG Laser Discs, that you have to stop and flip over to side B, just when a movie gets really interesting...) I was disappointed by how "dated" and bland it seemed to be. It kinda' reminded me of a time when I sat down with some friends to watch my video collection of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" and I had to keep explaining the jokes to everyone...

Oh, well, at least the nudity never gets old, (kinda' like that girl in the bikini on Laugh-In...)
