“The Amityville Curse” (** out of four) was a tepid horror melodrama about a group of friends (Brendan Fehr, Vanessa Smythe, Ennis Esmer, and others) who buy the notorious Amityville house intending to flip it for a profit but soon discover an unholy paranormal evil within the house that intends on destroying them all. Umpteenth movie to use the “Amityville” name is far from the worst but nowhere near its best and is mostly a run-of-the-mill haunted house movie. A few minor jolts and some decent acting help to keep it watchable but it’s about time we let this house and horror series rust in peace.
