RT Rating: Not Listed Incredibly, despite the fact that the original movie - released in 1979 - was a critical bust, the Amityville Horror franchise has swollen into a bloated, seething blight on the horror genre, now totalling a ming-boggling 13 movies. Even more incredibly not a single one of them have been any good. You no doubt missed it, but in 2015, two high-numbered sequels were released to absolutely no fanfare whatsoever - not that either of them deserved it. By now, the franchise has entirely ran out of ideas, trotting through haunted house cliches and vainly looking for a slightly new spin to justify its existence. In the Playhouse case, that means not even being set in the famous old house. Theyre both provocatively bad, with Eric Roberts continuing his terrible career choices by playing the Dark Lord in Death House. It would be shameful if it wasnt so inevitable. And guess what, theres another one coming in 2016.
