Andrew Woods' five minute review of:

Amityville 3
1983 [M] 105 minutes

As you might guess, the third in the series of Amityville Horror movies. I haven't seen any of the other Amityville movies so I didn't know what to expect. The story centres around John (a Journalist) and The House. John buys the house for song soon after doing an investigative story for Reveal Magazine about a group of shysters using the Amityville House to hold fake seances. Working for Reveal Magazine, John is not one to believe all the ghost stories but the real estate agent is soon killed by a horde of flies in the house. The flies are a recurring theme in this and presumably the rest of the Amityville Movies. The journo's photographer and also his daughter eventually meet their end. In the crescendo of the movie, the house is monitored for psycho-physical activity by a university scientist and his team. The house decides it also wants John's wife and it calls her to the open well in the spooky cellar. The creature in the well gets the scientist instead and all hell starts to break loose. The house then starts to destroy itself with fire and explosions everywhere.

In contrast to "Spacehunter", this movie had lots of things coming out of the screen (Not that this is necessarily always a good thing). The two best 3D effects in the movie were where the photographer's car crashes into a dumpster and a long pipe comes projecting through the cars windscreen. The pipe stopped just above the head of the person in front of me - great stuff! The other great 3D moment was when a stuffed marlin (fish with long spear on it's nose) comes off the wall where it was mounted and spears its way towards the movie's characters and directly out the screen. The guy next to me jumped to the side as it came out. Some of the scenes seemed a bit 3D strange, maybe the convergence distance was set wrongly, but it was a bit hard to tell without taking my glasses on and off and/or stopping the film.
