You were expecting maybe something else? ANYTHING else??

THE AMITYVILLE HAUNTING (2011)
…in which found footage reveals the fate of the latest bunch of idiots who just couldn’t say ‘no’ to a real-estate bargain…
This offering from The Asylum was sold as a documentary, cut together from video images found after the tragedy, which is why it has no credits.
Sure…that’s why…

I must confess to being puzzled by some of the image caps this time. I’m not seeing anything in them as a referent to make sense of what you’re discussing in the text.

I didn’t think I was THAT obscure! Happy to translate – ?? 🙂

I thought they were clear enough – at least in meaning; they have the usual found-footage blurriness. Which is silly on its own level, since you’d have to fiddle with a modern camera quite a bit to disable the auto-focus. The terrible framing is much more believable.

Oh damn it all. This is going to require me to reread all the prior Amityville reviews before starting this one, which is going to require a good chunk of time, which means I probably won’t be able to read this before the weekend. (Hell, I haven’t even had the time to read Will’s yet, not to mention all that new stuff at TC.)
I’m going to have to step down as president of the Lyz Fan Club, aren’t I?
Wait…was this what you meant by “Be careful what you pray for”?

Ahem.
DON’T do that just yet.
Just yet.
(It was one of the things I meant…)

If that really was one of the things you meant, remembering my nigh-chronic need to reread the reviews in a series before allowing myself to get to a new entry, I’m torn between being slightly disquieted and oddly touched. (Leaning toward the latter, admittedly.) Looking forward to finding out how else you meant it.
I’m guessing I’m to wait until you get more of the past reviews transferred over to the new site, based on your latest post here. I can (impatiently) do that.
I have also decided that this dispensation means I can keep my chair on the LFC, so there’s that.

We really ought to have a meeting. With shark- and spider-shaped cakes.

Awww, you guys are sweet! 🙂
There’s only one possible place for the party, though.
My spiritual home.

Man, if there’s a heavy metal way to go, “BONES NOT FOUND WITH BODY” may well be it.

It did occur to me that saying what was found might have been easier. 🙂
I also can’t help wondering how they could even have known about the “separtion”…?
Poor Lori!

Perhaps that’s the correct name for the REALLY!! LOUD!! NOISE!! that infests most modern horror films?

This one would be much closer for us Yanks. (I wonder what the odds are that I got that formatting right.) I haven’t been there in ages, but loved it as a lad; the Black Hills are some of the most gorgeous lands I’ve set foot in; anyone who hasn’t been to Mount Rushmore could make a jaunt over; and the front page for RG doesn’t have instructions on how to catch deadly spiders, because that’s not something you generally have to worry about in the northern parts of the U.S.
Not that I’m averse to going to Lyz’s place since she’d be much more likely to make a surprise appearance if we’re not meeting halfway around the world from her.

GOOD SWEET SHUB-NIGGURATH I DID IT
I need to come up with a way to celebrate this momentous achievement.

I want a Hoopla post, dammit! And a hug from Lyz! And since I’m dreaming big, a pet dragon I can ride around on as we smite my enemies before flying off to see the world!

Ah. That would be Ann from “House by the Cemetery”.
I think she does this professionally now. She’s not cheap, but she’ll make you coffee.

Well, I can – and do! – clean up my own blood, but I’m happy to have coffee and exchange tips.
(Alas, it looks like I won’t be getting to the Italians after all, though there is something else on the agenda…)
