      Steve D An unintentional comedy with paper thin characters with human-like responses. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Don C I thought it, quite entertaining. I found Ms. Alda, Mr. Young and, Ms. Franklin especially good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Liam D This is much more wild than the first movie and it's way better than the original Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/17/22 Full Review Audience Member Absolute underrated gem of the horror genre. Disturbingly so. Slaughtered by critics alike very undeservingly in my opinion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review mack d Yikes. This movie was miscategorized as HORROR when it should have been HORRIBLE instead. Rotten cast, bad acting, and a script that has yet to be written. There are many adjectives to describe this movie, but it doesn't deserve any more keystrokes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review matthew b While not a good movie by any means, but believe it or not, out of all the Amityville movies, this is the first one I watched as a kid. I remembered this movie creeping my out, so in so strange way, I have this in a special place. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Gary Arnold Washington Post The sequel makes grotesque, heartless use of an authentic tragedy which predated the alleged haunting spree exploited in The Amityville Horror. Apr 30, 2018 Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine A depressing imitation of The Exorcist. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 4, 2005 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times This movie is actually slightly better than The Amityville Horror, maybe because it rips off superior source material. Rated: 2/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Campier than its much tamer predecessor, Amityville 2 is a slasher crossed with an Exorcist film. Featuring a queer-coded priest, incest and solid practical effects, this sequel is a wild ride. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 27, 2022 Full Review Alan Jones Starburst A superbly crafted, handsomely produced, superior haunted house tale that on more than one occasion will send shivers up your spine. Jul 29, 2022 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore A story of possession wrapped up in family troubles, from abuse to incest, provides this sequel with a strong story- one of the most underrated horror sequels out there. Rated: 4/5 May 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
