Time for more Amityville of this caliber
Amityville Horror has enjoyed much success as both a true story and a franchise of follow up films that sometimes hit the target and other times missed entirely. Thankfully, Amityville:It's about time hits every target it sets out to. There is a very good storyline to propel the viewer along a-la demonically posessed clock that manages to cause its' owner's family members to turn against each other as well as provide the usual haunted house jitters the original first and second films did so well.
The film also hits on a nerve previously not heavily seen in the Amityville series, and that's out and out gore. The dad's festering dog bite is particularly difficult to watch, so if you are squeamish when it comes to gore, close your eyes each time the disgusting wound is revealed.
All in all, "Amityville:It's about time" is a first rate yet largely unknown thriller that definitely lives on with the best of the Amityville franchise. Tick.....tock.....tick......tock.......
A Worthy Sequel
It's about time! After what seems like an unending period of mediocre sequels, the Amityville franchise produces a film on par with the gruesome original. Once again a family comes into contact with an evil clock. If you're looking for originality, this won't be a treat. If you simply want to enjoy another movie based on the formula, you've hit pay dirt. This film isn't perhaps as scary as the original, but it does contain a bathroom scene that gives "Psycho" a run for its money. The actors themselves are unknowns, but turn in decent performances enhanced by the best character development yet in the series. At times the movie seems too bizare with far flung events such as the papa's dog bite which causes him to fester at home until he becomes possessed by evil. Despite this, the film never loses momentum. The pace builds steadily until the fairly exciting climax with the inevitable showdown with the ingenue and the evil clock. While it may not be the best horror film, it is hands down the best Amityville.
Enjoyable horror
Amityville-It's About Time is a fun movie for horror fans. The Amityville Horror is back again, this time encompassed in an antique clock with a sinister history. I don't know why, but I found this movie unintentionally hilarious, the father of the family gets bit by a dog and slowly goes mad-as the result of his proximity to the "cursed" clock of course! The teen daughter turns seductive-also a victim of the clock's doings. The neighborhood psychic is the only one who seems like she can help...I liked this movie a lot, but I am perplexed by the ending. What exactly happened there? I don't want to give things away so I won't say more, but it is rather confusing.
