There is hardly anything original about the picture.

To pad things out characters argue over story-lines from previous Amityville movies, while for 3-D purposes, wasps, furniture and minor players are hurled in our direction at varying intervals.

3-D, the stamp of greatness...
07/08/05
Replaces derivation with gimmicks.
04/04/05
...presented in standard 2-D format and does not require special glasses to view. However, I don't see how wearing them can possibly hurt.
04/04/05
...thoroughly bereft of any interesting ideas, as evidenced by the film's absurdly underwhelming climax...

The cast is good, but the characters are idiots.

Works as well as a 3-D sequel of a sequel (starring Tony Roberts in the lead role) can posibly work. And that ain't well.

Better than the first two, but apart from the 3-D novelty not much
