Amityville 3: The Demon ★½ Amityville 3-D 1983 (R)

America's worst realestate value dupes another funky buyer. The infamous Amityville house is once again restless with terror and gore, though supported with even less plot than the usual smidgin. Cynical reporter Roberts moves in while trying to get to the bottom of the story by way of the basement. Courtesy of 3-D technology, monsters sprang at theatre patrons but the video version is strictly two-dimensional, forcing the viewer to press his or her face directly onto the TV screen in order to derive similar effect. 98m/C VHS, DVD . Tony Roberts, Tess Harper, Robert Joy, Candy Clark, John Beal, Leora Dana, John Harkins, Lori Loughlin, Meg Ryan, Rikke Borge, Jack Cardiff; D: Richard Fleischer; W: William Wales, David Ambrose; C: Fred Schuler; M: Howard Blake.
