Amityville II: The Possession (1982). This prequel of The Amityville Horror is a brave take on the events that actually occurred. The first act was pretty darn creepy, the second was rather brutal, and the third was an enjoyable rip-off of another horror classic. The acting was decent enough, though over-acted at times. The direction was pretty solid, but that camera work was wonderful, at times almost paying homage to the brilliance of Argento's fabulously roaming lens. The special effects were decent for the era, though much of the actual creepiness of this entry relied on on less industrious techniques. Overall worth a watch. Ashe.
