Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
Last editorial, I pondered if the best films in the Amityville Horror franchise are the paired entries. As we cross off the seventh entry, that suspicion holds true. Amityville: A New Generation has decent ambition for a franchise creeping towards double digits; it simply needed a few tweaks in its execution. At the end of the day, the film feels aggressively early 90s direct-to-video horror, slightly better than something like a mid-range Candyman or Hellraiser.
The 1993 film is set in an apartment complex whose residents are an artist collective. The film uses the same formula as The Amityville Curse for its characters (a combination of lovers and friends), as well as It’s About Time and 3-D (a new haunted object). In this case,...

“Amityville: A New Generation” (1993)
Directed By: John Murlowski
Written By: Christopher DeFaria & Antonio Toro
Starring: Ross Patridge (Keyes Terry), Julia Nickson (Suki), Terry O’Quinn (Detective Clark), Lala Sloatman (Llanie), David Naughton (Dick Cutler), Barbara Howard (Janet Cutler), Jack Orend (Franklin Bonner), Richard Roundtree (Pauli), Robert Russler (Ray)
After seeing this films predecessor “Amityville 1992: It’s About Time” I had pretty high hopes for this movie as I felt that film at least gave some life back in to this aging franchise. When I was done watching “A New Generation” I was a bit let down. While this movie follows the same theme as the fourth and sixth movies, it is clearly the weakest in terms of keeping the story coherent.
The story involves a young man Keyes Terry who is given a mirror by a by a person he sees randomly on the side of the road.
