In 1993, a year after AMITYVILLE: IT'S ABOUT TIME, another sequel was released and it was entitled, AMITYVILLE: A NEW GENERATION. Now, this sequel could have been a lot better, and it could have been somewhat scary, but because it lacks hauntings and fright, the film earned a three-star rating from me, meaning I thought that the film wasokay. <br /> <br /> KEYES TERRY (played by Ross Partridge), and his girlfriend LLANIE (played by Lala Sloatman) are both struggling artists. Their friends, DICK CUTLER (played by David Naughton, famous for his Dr. Pepper commercials and his role in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON), SUKI (played by Julia Nickson-Soul), JANET CUTLER (played by Barbara Howard), & PAULIE (played by Richard Roundtree), are all artists, as well, with Dick and Janet also being Suki, Keyes, & Llanie's landlords. While at a cafe, Keyes receives a strange mirror from a street-bum. The house is from112 Ocean Ave. (how did you guess?) That night, while the kids are out, Suki's ex-boyfriend, RAY (played by Robert Rusler, only famous for his supporting role in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE) drops by. He finds the mirror in Suki's appartment, after Llanie and Keyes allow her to borrow it for awhile. The mirror casts off Ray's reflection very differently and then kills him. Suki is the mirror's next victim. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the bum that gave Keyes the mirror is found dead. For some reason, Keyes tells DT. CLARK (played by Terry O'Quinn) to give the bum a proper burial. Keyes decides to find out some information on this guy, after finding out that the man's last name is the same asKeyes' last name. Seven years ago, the bum was in a mental institutionfor murderering his entire family in Amityville, New York112 Ocean Ave (only changed to this character to keep Ronald DeFeo, Jr. from getting any money for this sequel if his name was used). Keyes is then shown to the bum's room, where he has a whole hallucination with Keyes being the role of the bum and seeing Keyes' mother and himself as a child visiting his derranged father. He snaps out of the hallucination, and tells Llanie about it. She informs him that in order to beat this, he has to face his fears. <br /> <br /> That night, the have an art gallery show, where he can stage the entire act of his father killing his family, while they sat, eating dinner (changed from when they were originally murdered as they slept). The art gallery show is going well, but the lights go out. Dick runs to the basement to turn them back on, but Suki appears, and kills Dick, but the lights are brought back on successfully. The show is now set for its final act, but instead of using a water gun as planned, Keyes uses a real gun, he shoots at the food on the table, and the shoots the mirror, which has been causing this whole ordeal. The nightmare is now overfor now. <br /> <br /> An okay sequel, but they should have had more of a story with the mirror, as far as having it cause more hauntings and gathering more victims. But an okay sequel.
Viewer Reviews
God help us all if anyone thinks this movie comes close to the original Amityville Horror. This "New Generation" version is pretty bad. If I'm watching a horror movie and absolutely nothing comes along to make me feel scared, something is seriously wrong with it (keep in mind- I'm easily scared!) To say this movie is flawed isn't enough- it was just a really bad attempt to continue the series and falling flat because of lack of suspense. The storyline was okay, and all the actors were alright, but this is just a really bad low budget film. Avoid it now.
