Amityville: A New Generation (1993)

Another haunted artifact causes a string of deaths when a mirror that was stolen from the Amity house ends up in an apartment complex inhabited by a group of artists. Each of the artists that come in contact with the mirror suffer from horrifying delusions that only end in one thing: boredom. This seventh entry in the series doesn't offer anything new or interesting, and was likely some other no name Horror entry originally that had the AMITY name tacked on to increase sales. The film obviously doesn't take itself seriously, and the plot is secondary to the gore and FX. In one flashback, a whole family gets themselves annihilated by some sweet shot gun blasts to the face and body. This is really the only cool scene in the entire film, though, and the rest is just a bunch of mucking around as the characters aimlessly try to figure out what is causing all of the horror surrounding them. Horror fans will enjoy cameos by genre favorites David Naughton and Terry O'Quinn, but their additions are short lived fun considering the rest of the tired cast and plot. The film isn't as terrible as it is pointless and predictable, but most fans of the series can muster enough strength to sit through it for the gore.

Rating: 5/10.
Gore: 6/10.
Number of views: 2.
