Rusty sees Iris and they share a knowing smile, suggesting that they remember what happened...
This film has nothing to do with Amityville. The house is mentioned but that is it. If you are hoping for a visit to the house, then forget it. The sequels are getting worse as I go along. I thought that this would be better, but it is just a standard movie with very little in the way of scares. I don't think that there were any scary moments in this. It was just like a TV movie. I watched it until the end to see what happens, but it was just mediocre and tedious. This was just so so and if you are looking for an exciting horror movie, then this certainly won't fit the bill. It was passable but only just. I will give it a 4/10.
