A satiric take on the myriad of movies taking legal advantage of an unprotected franchise, cobbling together whatever they want and slapping the Amityville name on it. If that's the way they want to play, then game on.
Amityville Gas Chamber is a satiric take on the myriad of movies taking legal advantage of an unprotected title, cobbling together whatever they want and slapping the Amityville name on it. If that's the way they want to play, then game on.—Michael Stone
Holding a worn-out copy of Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror (1979) with both hands, Michael Stone prepares himself for a long reading session. Immersed in the novel's fantastic fiction, the host tries to make a point through enlightening trivia about the series: sadly, after the first release of the original film, the iconic Amityville name is left unprotected. Meanwhile, as the book's creeping horror ratchets up the tension, silent dread takes over, leading to violent intestinal motility and the onslaught of erratic flatulence. But passing gas in front of an open fire is never a bright idea. And as the story's numbing terror unfolds, the unmistakable stench of evil fills the air. Now, the demonic fumes of death are everywhere. For the love of God, will someone at least crack a window?—Nick Riganas
