Trivia:

On the original poster art, and the UK cover art, the scene is more from Amityville: The Evil Escapes (1989). You can tell because the lamp from the fourth movie is in front of the girl on the floor, and it's clear that she's in the attic from the fourth movie. Also, the girl in the poster is not Rachel Duncan (Jessica), but instead Brandy Gold from the fourth movie.

Movie Connections:

Follows Amityville: The Evil Escapes (1989) (TV)

Final... A more Modern-Day Amityville -And the Final!

This one, (the last one), really has it's quirks- seriously.

This film consists of all of the right ingredients of a modern horror flick: Sex, lies, drama, horror, fantasy, suspense, terror, and "lots of fire" all together in bits, thrown together to make an INREDIBLE come-back for the Amityville series.

A doll-house takes the role of the terror this time, and ultimately leads to the final confrontation, and the final ending of the Amityville saga.

The series has lived long, and has gone out with a big BANG as a wonderful 90's flick.

This is a good one, folks. Make no mistake.
