AMITYVILLE: THE EVIL ESCAPES

“There's something out of sync and odd about late-‘80s horror gems that’s hard to categorize. It boils down to that low-budget, high-ambition, void-of-reason direct-to-video magic. Love it!” -- belial_carboni, Letterboxd

The AMITYVILLE HORROR series was given new life in the ‘90s with four fun installments on the “cursed object” theme. These sequels are like a cross between a well-worn sleazy paperback and “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”. 4K restoration!

Directed by Sandor Stern, writer of the original AMITYVILLE HORROR ‘79. As the Evans children mourn their father’s death and move with their mother to a gothic seaside mansion, a mysterious lamp possessed by a demon raises some serious shit. Jessica, the youngest of the household, believes the spirit is her father secretly returning. Nope! It’s a demon in his likeness, ready to zap anyone and everyone so he can be born into human form.
