Amityville 2: The Possession (1982)

My rating - 8/10

(click on images below for larger versions)

A disfunctional family moves into their new house in Amityville but soon strange things start happening and the eldist son becomes possessed and unleashes hell on everyone in there.

This second entry tell the story of the family that were murderd before the first film takes place. It's esily the best of all the Amityville movies and still manages to be creepy as hell. It's full of atmosphere and keeps you on the edge of your seat for a good portion of it's runtime. The practical effects are great, there's an incest sub plot which is pretty disturbing, as it the sight of two young children being terroized by their possessed elder brother.

The acting by all involved is great and the dialogue is pretty good. The only downside is that the ending is a little drawn out and definitely takes a lot of insperation from The Exorcist. If you only watch one Amityville movie though then this is the one!.
