The Amityville Moon - R (1h 32m)
2021 - Horror, Thriller
1/5 stars
Let me start by saying that this review is going to be short and to the point. There's a much larger, much more important message that needs to be shared.
The film itself was a less than stellar follow-up to "The Amityville Harvest" (although I am biased because that film started my Amityville journey. The only positives I can give here are that the visuals are pretty consistently higher end than many Amityville films. The cast is pretty sound as well, with some exceptions, but overall some very believable characters.
I could dig deeper, but there is a much more important topic to cover at the timing of this review. It's recently been brought to my attention numerous issues with the director and his production company. I'm not sharing his name here as I believe that gives him the credit he doesn't deserve (I should mention that I purchased this before knowing any of this. Sarah Polednak, one of the actresses from the film, has brought to light several concerns that she wants the public to know. The director has "continued to abuse his power on set and sexually harass women. I am not the first, and I will not be the last if he continues to work in this industry. In addition, his sets are so poorly mismanaged, which results in harmful injuries to his actors. I have saved the entire story I posted in a highlight on my page." Please visit her page and watch her highlights to hear the entire story from her.
This is heartbreaking to me; this industry has a black eye that will never heal as long as people like him are allowed to get away with this! If you have a moment, please message Lionsgate and Lionsgate Horror and make them investigate and hold him responsible for these actions.

To the tune of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen:
Man walking through the Walmart store
Has so many DVDs, needs so many more
Looking at covers to see what catches the eye
What number Amityville is this, seventy-five?
Is that a werewolf I spy on the case?
What's next Amityville in Space?
My wife sleeps as I watch all this mess
No taste, no standards, no limits, no rest
(Chorus)
Well, the internet highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kidding this movie's any good
I'm sitting down here in front of my TV
Watching the multiple ghosts of Ron DeFeo
Now Sam said, "Wherever there's a cop comes from Amityville
Wherever a hungry Amityville shark appears
Where there's a monkey that's possessed and a 1/2 star review in the air
Look for me, I'll be there
Wherever a family fights a possessed clock
Or an evil lamp or is in 3D
Wherever a demon is trying to get free
Look in their eyes and you'll see me
You'll see me!
So this movie -- surprise! -- has nothing to do with Amityville. It does have something to do with a halfway house and a werewolf and how did Lions Gate, a somewhat major studio, sully their hands with this?
Thomas J. Churchill also made The Amityville Harvest, which I'm sure I'll be watching soon enough, and just finished Amityville Uprising, in which "a chemical blast at a military base sets off a supernatural disaster in this tense action-horror thriller." Oh no. Oh no...
This also has Cody Renee Cameron in it, whose IMDB describes her as "a cool cocktail comprised of raw acting talent & badass stunt work, sprinkled with sexy, then shaken and poured into a chilled glass." She should have written this movie, or maybe her publicist because that's better than anything I just sat through.
Tuesday Knight from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master is also on hand and she just made a movie called Amityville Bigfoot and seriously, they're just making movies for me now to make me have crossover between my many Letterboxd lists. "The newest entry to the Amityville franchise follows a new story with Bigfoot and a new terror in the very special house" says IMDB. And who directed it? Shawn C. Phillips, who is also making Amityville Karen and Amityville Shark House because we needed two shark movies set in Amityville.
There's also an Amityville Thanksgiving coming.
You know it's bad when Common Sense Media -- in their review of is this movie proper for your family or not -- includes this discussion question: "Families can talk about sequels that aren't really sequels, like The Amityville Moon. Why do you think Hollywood makes so-called "sequels" that have little, if anything, to do with the previous movies in the series?"
I wish my parents had talked to me about Amityville sequels but it's too late. It's just too late. I'm up at 4 in the morning watching movies like this when I should be sleeping. But you need me, don't you, dear reader? If anything, I'm protecting you from 112 Ocean Avenue.

Bad Plotting/Pacing Sinks This Low-Budget Werewolf Yarn

At a halfway house in Amityville, NY something is amiss. (Although the setting might as well be Australia for all this movie has to do with The Amityville Horror.) When two detainees are reported missing a cop and an escapee of the facility team up to unravel the mystery. That's a decent enough premise and this movie could have been entertaining despite the obviously low budget, amateur performances and Party City werewolf costume. Unfortunately the central premise only takes up about a quarter of the runtime; the rest is extraneous filler that quickly grows tiresome. There are also several major plot holes that are addressed but never resolved - just acknowledging that things don't make sense doesn't actually correct the problem.
