AMITYVILLE THE DOLLHOUSE

Ah, such sorrow.
PLOT
Bill is super excited about his new wife Claire and step-son Jimmy. He moves them into a new house along with his young daughter Jessica and teenage son Todd. He discovers a dollhouse in the garage that just so happens to look exactly like the house from Amityville. After the car “accidentally” runs over the bike they bought for Jessica’s birthday, they decide to give her the dollhouse instead. His sister Marla and husband Tobias show up and immediately decide that there’s something wrong with it. Jessica loves it, but she starts feeling sick that same day. Strange things start happening too, like Jimmy’s mouse turning into a huge animal that Todd accidentally kills and the step mom going after her stepson. Yet no one wants to blame the dollhouse…
TRIVIA
The last straight to DVD/video chapter in the Amityville series.
THOUGHTS
This one was really scrapping the barrel in terms of the Amityville connection. We don’t even get a backstory about how the dollhouse was taken from the house or owned by a former resident, nothing. It just happens to look like the original house so it’s naturally evil. This was also about the time when straight to video horror movies had to have some type of soft core sex, so here we get two of them. The sad thing is that I not only own this on DVD, but I also owned it on video. It’s got some good scenes in it and it’s actually not a terrible movie. Fortunately it was the last time they tried to milk the Amityville name.
