The home of unspeakable evil is back to torment all who cross its threshold, as Dino De Laurentiis and legendary director Richard Fleischer (Soylent Green) present "a horror picture of considerable class and polish" (Los Angeles Times)! Packed with bone-chilling special effects, this third rendezvous with terror in Amityville stars Tony Roberts, Tess Harper, Robert Joy, Candy Clark and Meg Ryan. To debunk the Amityville house's infamous reputation and take advantage of a rock-bottom asking price, skeptical journalist John Baxter (Roberts) buys the place and settles in to write his first novel. But as soon as the ink on the deed has dried, people who have come into contact with him Â- and the house Â- begin to meet with a shocking fate. Is it coincidenceÂ...or is this house really the gateway to hell?

Three for three...:
This film often resembles Tobe Hooper's "Poltergeist". That movie preceded this one by a year or so, so the "Amityville" filmmakers could have been plagiarizing to a degree.

Amityville Horror III:
I don't think it was better than the first 2, but it's still a good movie.

I rate this dvd a 6 from 1to10!!
Chilling:
I don't care how many Amityville Horror movies they make, they are all creepy. To take what was a true story and go from there is an endless list of good ideas for a movie. This one wasn't as well thought out, but with the story of the skeptic becoming a believer is believable enough. A+ movie
Even the flies refuse to figure eight around this stinker!:
Man this movie was pure garbage. Its only worth watching to see how bad it is. I think this director never paid too much attention to the early ones at all. The whole purpose of the house's rage was to drive people out and keep them out. To include all of the characters except for one ruled out common sense. The number one thing I want to point out because god knows this doesn't deserve too much time is this. Why would the house send its curse out doors? It terrorized the new owner while he was on an... more info
