10 More Horror Movies With The Worst Monster Reveal
3. The Demon - Amityville III: The Demon
In Amityville III: The Demon, paranormal-debunking reporter John Baxter buys the haunted Amityville house, assuming its spooky reputation is unfounded. When supernatural phenomena occurs in John's abode and his daughter dies under mysterious circumstances, he begins to question everything he thought he knew.
In the final scene, John, his estranged wife, and several paranormal experts venture into the basement, where they come face-to-face with a hideous demon.
To be fair, this monster's design isn't half-bad. Its may be a little generic, but it could've been a lot worse.
But there are two issues with how the demon is presented. Firstly, he reveals himself by popping out of a bubbling well. Even though this is meant to be a jump-scare moment, it looks like the demonic being is chilling out in a jacuzzi!
Secondly, the creature only appears for ten seconds. After grabbing John's colleague, the demon drags him into the well, never to be seen again.
Considering the film's title is Amityville III: The Demon, it was assumed the titular monster would play a more prominent role than a blink-and-you-will-miss-it cameo.
