Synopsis

Skeptical journalist John Baxter (Tony Roberts) and photographer Melanie (Candy Clark) expose a fraudulent medium who is operating in the infamous Amityville haunted house. Then John surprises Melanie by deciding to buy the house and live in it. John's estranged wife, Nancy (Tess Harper), is also surprised, then disturbed, when John encourages their daughter, Susan (Lori Loughlin), to visit. The house attacks visitors with horrors that include insects and extreme cold and heat. Eventually, parapsychologist Eliot West (Robert Joy) comes to investigate.
AMITYVILLE 3-D jettisons the Roman Catholic trappings of its two predecessors (THE AMITYVILLE HORROR and AMITYVILLE II: THE POSSESSION). In its place is a conflict that pits rationalism (the skeptical journalist) and science (the parapsychologist) against the evil, supernatural house. Director Richard Fleischer used 3-D in making his 1953 Western ARENA and, reportedly, he used it very effectively for AMITYVILLE 3-D. However, in spite of its title, on its nontheatrical releases AMITYVILLE 3-D remains obstinately flat. Fleischer's lively cast includes a young Meg Ryan in one of her first screen appearances.

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible, 5 Oct 2001
everything about this movie is awful. Just truly truly bad. The picture quality is terrible, the sound is muffled and the story plain atrocious. Hardly any real connection with Amityville at all, just happened to be set there. And when the rubber demon appears - well, i laughed! Please don't waste your money on this one, even the Made for TV movie (no.4) was better. It says Amityville 3-D at the start which obvisouly meant 3 times as Dire!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Film, 4 Nov 2001
By alamsami@yahoo.com (Limassol, Cyprus.) - See all my reviews
"Amityville III" originally titled Amityville 3D, which was originally presented in 3D in the early 80's. Well, the movie was released at a time when "slasher" films where at it's peek e.g. "Halloween", "Friday the 13th" etc. This movie seemed to have been done sometimes during the late 60's. It had no gore at all, and went on like a mystery-investigation thing. The only basic reason for watching it at that time was for it's great 3D effects.
Now, the problem with this DVD lies in the picture and sound quality, which are very inferior. The colors seem to be washed out, and the sound is rather weak. The movie is quite good, has the right atmosphere for a good old "Haunted House" film & the acting is convincing. I believe that this should be re-released in its original "Widescreen" edition with enhanced sound and picture quality. Recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shoddy transfer of a weaker entry in the Amityville franchis, 5 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Its Amityville 3D! Only without the 3D, naturally, and a poor transfer to boot. No effort at all has been made to clean up or enhance the film for its DVD debut, resulting in a washed out appearance, and its presented full screen, with awful framing. Despite this, there are a few enjoyable scenes and its fun to see the obvious 3D moments, even if they are now flat. The DVD has no extras apart from scene access. Couldn't they at least have included the trailer? Let's hope for a rerelease at some point, remastered and full aspect.
