The Amityville Curse

About This Movie

The Amityville Curse (2023) directed by Éric Tessier has this gritty, unsettling vibe. You know, it’s not just another haunted house flick. The pacing keeps you on edge; the tension builds slowly, making those moments of dread hit harder. The practical effects are well done, adding a layer of realism that enhances the horror. The characters, a group of friends with entrepreneurial dreams, find themselves in over their heads, and their performances convey that growing fear and desperation. It’s interesting how it weaves themes of greed and the consequences of ignoring history into the story. The atmosphere feels thick, almost like the house itself is a character. It's distinctive enough to stand out in the crowded genre, though it might not break new ground.
