Amityville Horror II: The Possesion (1982)

Starring: Burt Young, Rutanya Alder, Diane Franklin
Director: Damiano Damiani


Premise:
A family moves into a home built on an Indian burial ground. Their oldest son becomes possessed and goes on a killing spree.

My Take:
Much to my surprise I had never seen this sequel (or at least dont remember) and it ended up being fairly solid. What surprised me the most was each distinctive act as we get to know the family and their problems, the haunting and possesion occurs, the tragedy and aftermath with the priest trying to save the young man. The practical effects hold up well, even thirty years later.

Rating: In the middle
