Review of Amityville II: The Possession (1982) by Benjamin S — 05 Nov 2007
His is a bit of a confusing sequel; for one yes, itâ??s sort of a sequel, but itâ??s also supposed to be a prequel. This follows the events that led up to the original AMITYVILLE HORROR. Here, Burt Young (of ROCKY, ya know?) plays an overbearing, slightly abusive father and heâ??s damned good in this role.
This one involves a crazy possession subplot of Burtâ??s son and a lone priest who tries to save the boy. Thereâ??s an unhealthy dose of incest thrown in as well . . . . which really makes the viewer a bit uncomfortable.
Since the picture was financed by Italians, thereâ??s a hearty amount of gore (which was kinda lacking the first time around) -- check out that climactic scene!!! Wow. See it.
