A family man named Jacob Sterling (Stephen Macht) brings an antique old clock to his home as a gift which was originally from the old house in Amityville and is placed in the family's living room.
Suddenly the clock has a mind of it's own as it begins to drill itself shut to where it's displaying so no one can remove it
Then the neighbors friendly dog Peaches enters the house and suddenly gets hypnotised by the clock.
Next thing Jacob's son Rusty (Damon Martin) sees a hallucination of a necromancy room whenever he turns on the living room light.
Well one day during a morning jog, Jacob spots his neighbor Mrs. Tettman (Terrie Snell) staring at him strangely as she takes her dog Peaches for a walk and then sets Peaches to attack him as the dog mangles his leg.
Another neighbor named Iris Wheeler (Nita Talbot) warns Rusty about the clock in their house telling him it's evil and experienced and evil moment while passing by their house after Jacob received the clock.
Jacob and his daughter Lisa (Megan Ward) behaves very strangely as Rusty tries to warn them about the clock as it slowly tries to destroy the family as the clock is making the family become evil.

 

 

This was so far the best sequel out of all the Amityville sequels.
Neat effects and cheesy but fun dialogue's.
All in all just a cool film to watch as you can't compare it to any of the other films since it's a story of it's own.

The acting is very good and we have a good strong cast by many experienced faces in this one.
Stephen Macht does great when he starts to turn from a great business family man to an evil one tempted to kill.
Shawn Weatherly is incredibly energetic with her performance with all the terrors happening around her and keeps going strong throughout it.
Damon Martin really stands out as a typical teenager going through a wild rock n roll phase.
Jonathan Parker makes his role believable as a caring shrink as if you'd like him to be part of your family.
Megan Ward also knew how to come across as an innocent teenage girl to a lustful deadly one after the clock posesses her.
Of course we can't forget supporting actress Nita Talbott as she brings character to the whole scenario of this and uis the key to this film.

Shawn Weatherly performs a sex scene and the sides of her breasts are revealed.

A man is bitten brutally by a dog in the leg
A teen sinks and melts into a pool of sludge
A scarred spirit crawls out of a bathtub

The directing by Tony Randell is quite well done as he shows great camera shots of the suspenseful moments in the film like the thunderstorm in front of the house and then there's a hallucination of the Amityville house and a freaked out expression of actress Nita Talbot staring at this incident giving the film the perfect effect.
There's an effective scene with Terrie Snell having an expressionless glance at Stephen Macts character when she attacks her dog on him as you know beforehand something terrible is going to happen.
and He directed a great scene with Shawn Weatherly and Jonathan Parker together bringing a tiny bit of wit to the movie.
He also did a great direction with Nita Talbot and Damon Martin discussing the evil of the cliock in the house and the presences surrounding them.
He also coached both Stephen Macht and Ward perfectly with their evil behaviors towards other people they encounter bringing their evil actions to life espcecially with their battles between Martin and Shawn Weatherly's character's.

The music was composed superbly by Daniel Licht who composed the music for the next sequel Amityville: A New Generation and I can't explain it but to watch the movie and hear it for yourself as it has so many suspenseful sounds to it.

Andrea Livingston: Rusty, this house nearly burned down!
Rusty Sterling: What can I say, I've been here all night.
Andrea Livingston: All night?
Rusty Sterling: Well, I took a piss around 7:45. Sorry I didn't call.

Lisa Sterling: Choo! Choo! All aboard!

Jacob Sterling: What the hell was that all about?
Andrea Livingston: It's about time, that's what.
