Terrible acting.

Especially the asian 'Karen'.

Lazy script. And adding Amityville to the title was more of a hindrance than a help as totally unrelated to any other of the many films using the name.

The news reports were a distraction and the actor they chose was beyond cringe.

Within the first few seconds there is an explosion that is some of the worst cheap Chroma Key overlay I have seen outside a joke mobile app. That really let me know that what was coming would be very poor. If they let that through as acceptable then they had really low quality control.

Pointless attempts at drama with the cop and his 'kid' ! Really did NOT work at all. The interaction and dialogue is some of the worst I've seen in an long time. Think "The Room" level bad.

Couple of attempts at bloody practical FX work ok. But the red sky and acid rain looked so cheap it hurt. Ha ha

And why would anyone hear the radio say "acid rain, stay indoors" and 5hen instantly get out and then when feel it burns just stand there instead of getting into the car....squirming with more bad acting. That bit should have been cut, there was no blood or any makeup on him at all, melting gags are the easiest to do. . When he stands up and you see through the car window and he has a little blood it works so much better. But you were still in shock at the awful scene seconds before to care.

Zero tension.

A serial killer added to try and add some tension. Again fails.

Star for at least trying.

It s tough to get a film going and get a release so credit for that and hopefully they will all learn valuable lessons from their failures. Micro budget doesn't have to mean a total crapfest.

The ending. Well. As daft as the rest of it.

Another year, another movie with the word Amityville in its title.

Needless to say that I wasn't harboring much of any high hopes or expectations for the 2022 action horror movie titled "The Amityville Rising" from writer and director Thomas J. Churchill. But I still opted to sit down and watch it, given it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen.

"The Amityville Rising" is bad. It is exactly as bad as you would assume it be. Yeah, not really a big surprise there, huh?

The storyline written by Thomas J. Churchill was just all over the place, and the name Amityville is just in the movie's title to lure in an audience. But hey, it did work, you and I watched the movie, right? Sure, the movie is set to take place in the town Amityville, but that is about it. So talk about a cheap cash-in on a title in order to lure in viewers.

Let's just stop to look at the storyline: A laughably bad CGI explosion rocks Amityville and creates an acidic toxic rain that plasters the town. Anyone exposed dies horribly and return as zombies. Right, where is the red thread and logic in that?

The acting performances in "The Amityville Rising" were fair, taking into consideration the thin script that they had to work with. Not great performances, not memorable performances. But the actors and actresses on the cast list managed to do fair enough with the limited material they had to work with in terms of script, storyline, character gallery and dialogue.

Visually then "The Amityville Rising" was adequate. It wasn't a memorable action horror in any way, and it didn't really even have impressive special effects to sweeten the deal.

"The Amityville Rising" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this, and I mean that literally, so you don't have to.

My rating of "The Amityville Rising" lands on a two out of ten stars.

You have your cheesy good movie and you have this...acting is awful,story is as bad and cgi was better in the 90's.i love zombie movies but this one was hard to finish.
