To the tune of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen:

Man walking through the Walmart store

Has so many DVDs, needs so many more

Looking at covers to see what catches the eye

What number Amityville is this, seventy-five?

Is that a werewolf I spy on the case?

What's next Amityville in Space?

My wife sleeps as I watch all this mess

No taste, no standards, no limits, no rest

(Chorus)

Well, the internet highway is alive tonight

But nobody's kidding this movie's any good

I'm sitting down here in front of my TV

Watching the multiple ghosts of Ron DeFeo

Now Sam said, "Wherever there's a cop comes from Amityville

Wherever a hungry Amityville shark appears

Where there's a monkey that's possessed and a 1/2 star review in the air

Look for me, I'll be there

Wherever a family fights a possessed clock

Or an evil lamp or is in 3D

Wherever a demon is trying to get free

Look in their eyes and you'll see me

You'll see me!

So this movie -- surprise! -- has nothing to do with Amityville. It does have something to do with a halfway house and a werewolf and how did Lions Gate, a somewhat major studio, sully their hands with this?

Thomas J. Churchill also made The Amityville Harvest, which I'm sure I'll be watching soon enough, and just finished Amityville Uprising, in which "a chemical blast at a military base sets off a supernatural disaster in this tense action-horror thriller." Oh no. Oh no...

This also has Cody Renee Cameron in it, whose IMDB describes her as "a cool cocktail comprised of raw acting talent & badass stunt work, sprinkled with sexy, then shaken and poured into a chilled glass." She should have written this movie, or maybe her publicist because that's better than anything I just sat through.

Tuesday Knight from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master is also on hand and she just made a movie called Amityville Bigfoot and seriously, they're just making movies for me now to make me have crossover between my many Letterboxd lists. "The newest entry to the Amityville franchise follows a new story with Bigfoot and a new terror in the very special house" says IMDB. And who directed it? Shawn C. Phillips, who is also making Amityville Karen and Amityville Shark House because we needed two shark movies set in Amityville.

There's also an Amityville Thanksgiving coming.

You know it's bad when Common Sense Media -- in their review of is this movie proper for your family or not -- includes this discussion question: "Families can talk about sequels that aren't really sequels, like The Amityville Moon. Why do you think Hollywood makes so-called "sequels" that have little, if anything, to do with the previous movies in the series?"

I wish my parents had talked to me about Amityville sequels but it's too late. It's just too late. I'm up at 4 in the morning watching movies like this when I should be sleeping. But you need me, don't you, dear reader? If anything, I'm protecting you from 112 Ocean Avenue.

The film opens with a werewolf attack (I thought it was Bigfoot) in Amityville. We jump to 10 years later to the St. Matthews rehabilitation house for hot looking girls. Two girls plan an escape. Alyssa makes it out (Alex Rinehart) another one who hesitates is eaten by a werewolf. He who hesitates is lunch. They inform the police about the missing girls. Detective. Robbie Kimball (Trey McCurley) forced to light duty investigates and finds Alyssa at a biker bar and drives her back. She tells the detective the other girl is dead and was eaten by a wolf.

This is another of a dozen films that has Amityville in the title because Bugtussle Moon would not sell. The plot takes a bit long to develop. Lots of leg. Not on any must see list.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. No showers. No girl-girl scene. No seance.

The Amityville Moon has little to do with the Amityville series except for possibly taking place in that town though we don't see the house or anything nor are there any cursed/haunted objects from it. It's about a halfway house for ex-drug addict junkies with a werewolf stalking and killing them. Much of the film is about these former needle-freaks and seeing as I don't understand addiction nor do I have any empathy these parts fell flat on me. Some nudity or lesbian shenanigans would have livened the movie up. Apparently this is made by some religious nut who is okay with mild swearing but has his tough biker guys say "freakin" and "screw". The acting is intensely mediocre especially that of the main girl. The whole film is shot in a drab and colorless way. There's some bloody werewolf attacks including a woman who has her face clawed off. The werewolf transformation scene is pretty good though nowhere near Baker/Bottin level but at least it was all practical FX. The werewolf suit is pretty good as well though shown sparingly. The sadly too brief werewolf scenes save this from being completely dull. Another very mediocre Walmart horror to add to the pile.
