Amityville Vanishing Point: Definetly among the worst of the Amityville movies
Platypuschow20 December 2017
Vanishing Point wasn't easy to find, took me a fair while and sadly my search did not pay off.

This pitifully amateurish effort is further example of why the Amityville name needs to be trademarked or something needs to be done to cease this endless influx of dreadful cashins.

Set in a boarding house a bunch of people starting dropping dead and yadayada has some connection to Amityville.

The cast are dreadful, the editing is painful and the whole thing is an embarassment in film making.

It's not about the budget, I appreciate limitations imposed on film makers but this is just poorly made and would have been regardless.

Everyone involved should consider an alternative career choice.

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Bad sound editing

Terrible video editing

Moronic story

Awful acting

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I have one final Amityville movie to watch, after that I think I'm going to pretend any future releases don't exist for the sake of my sanity

Amityville: Lowering the bar
ketarel6 December 2023
I've made a point of seeing every "Amityville" movie. To date; not only is this the worst Amityville movie I've seen, but also the worst movie I've seen.

Dylan Mars Greenberg has lowered the bar as to what I must consider a "1 star" film to be. Now when I watch a Steven Seagal movie, I think "well it was way better than that dull, disjointed heap of crap "Amityville:Vanishing Point", so I guess I have to give it 2 stars"

Rarely will I say that something is utterly not worth watching, but this "movie" is so indescribably stupid and boring you're better off having a stranger spit into your nose than wasting your time with this aneurysm inducing drivel.

0/10, and may God have mercy on your soul.

We are basement
nogodnomasters11 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A woman dies from what appear to be iodine stains on her wrist. An odd detective shows up to investigate a group of women.

This is made by "Disck" pictures and somewhere a clever 7th grader is getting a high-five for coming up with that. The credits introduce the bands who supply us with a horrible sound track except for one good song. The acting and dialogue were bad. There is a large fake male organ that ejaculates "face on" making this somewhat "X" rated. There is also the typical "R" stuff such as F-words and topless females getting it on.

To be kind to the film would be to describe it as "arthouse" which means it was bad and I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish.

Congratulations if you make it past 7 minutes. You get a punch on the hackers card for sitting all the way through it without using the FF/skip buttons. Filmed on Staten Island, close enough to Amityville for you non-New Yorkers.

Deep hurting
BandSAboutMovies14 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Shot in seven days for $1,000, this movie has Lloyd Kaufman acting in it. I'm sure you realize that the moment that I read that I debated either suicide or shutting the movie off, whatever would remove me from the equation.

Then again, director Dylan Mars Greenberg was only 18 when it was made. But man - this movie makes the Dark Brothers production quality look like Josef von Sternberg.

The Amityville legend lives on - of course it does - when a resident of a local boarding house dies under mysterious circumstances. This film follows her two besties, her sister and the owner of the boarding house as they attempt to discover who killed her. Or maybe she's still alive. The detective trying to solve the case - who wants to be a cowboy and talks to his baseball cards - might be insane. And the house is turning on everyone.

92 minutes that will try your very soul. I can make it through a lot of painful movies, but this movie felt like a penance for making fun of other films. I should have followed the lead of Father Tom in Amityville II: The Possession and taken the phone off the hook, shut off the TV and just went skiing instead.

No more Mr. Nice cowboy
Realrockerhalloween1 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Taking place in a boarding house, a group of girls mourn the passing of their friend who died from self inflicted sounds on the cold mean streets. Now the residents are being picked off one by one and now they must team together to stop the madman before he takes them all as sacrifices. Returning back to Long Island the movie seems to copy the serial style of twin peaks with unusual characters like cowboy detective and the boarding house owner who speaks out of her head as if awakening from a dream.

Being Dylan Greenberg's first film I want to spare any harsh criticism, but it showed just how not to make a movie, the film has a tired caste, drags on in spots, no scares and the scenes leading up to Margret's death are told through in no particular order making it very confusing. Better luck next time.

At this point the possession angle has been rubbed thin without offering anything we haven't seen before. It tries to be a deep psychological horror, but instead comes off as phony and without any real conviction. Almost like a made for TV movie of pretty little liars more then anything. The house again looks nothing like the original even though it seems it was always looked refurbished.

The only praise worth giving is the spooky soundtrack which felt wasted on a cheap money grab. Skip this one unless your a fan of American horror stories since it copied the overall style.

Cheap but not to bad
jacobjohntaylor129 April 2018
Ok I see problems with this one. Even thou it had a good story line. And it was king of scary. It was very cheap. The sound was 10 minutes ahead of the picture. That did make it had to watch. It was not well edited. But on good side. It was well written and scary. It is the 13th part to the Amityville series. The 8th one Amityville dollhouse was better. Still I would have to say a lot better then the 12th one Amityville play house. Still this a good movie a lot better then the silence of the lambs. It is kind scary. Try watching it. If you some one who tires to enjoy a horror story you might like it. Do have high expectations it is no The Exorcist.

Quite Possibly the Worst Movie I Have Ever Seen
Uriah4326 March 2024
This film begins with a young woman by the name of "Margaret East" (Sofe Cote) staggering down a staircase after being seriously wounded from an unknown attacker. The scene then shifts to another young woman named "Brigitta Lynn" (Amanda Flowers) joining a group of friends at a boarding house in Amityville for Margaret's funeral. While there a man claiming to be an FBI agent named "Hank Denton" (Jurgen Azazel Munster) appears and asks for a room at the boarding house in order to further his investigation of Margaret's death. At first, his erratic behavior results in a refusal but, thanks to the insistence from another young women named "Sentinel Ernie" (Sara Kiser), he is eventually given a room. What he doesn't know, however, is that this particular boarding house is cursed by a malevolent spirit and that everyone living there is in serious danger. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this isn't just the worst film in the Amityville series--it's probably the worst film I have ever seen. Period. The acting was bad. The direction was bad. The music was bad. Everything about it was bad. And rather than waste any more time on this movie, I will just leave it at that.
