Perfectly adorable

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Dollhouse is a personal favorite treat of mine about a young girl receiving a special gift from her aunt looking exactly like the famous house from Amittyville with enclosed voodoo dolls to boot. Its interesting exploring rather the likeness brought the evil poltergeist or was the suggestion the demons are haunting Bill from his childhood in side the house before it burned down?It develops further into the mythology with protective spells, rules for the house and how to stop it from possessing you instead of being a helpless victim. This is what the fans have waited to see since four instead of rehashing yet another plot point endlessly. My only complaint was showing the demons and making them goofy instead of an ancient entity bent on harming the living. The effects were finally perfected using fire as symbolic of the dollhouse's rage from the uncle making a remark being rewarded by his present being ran over by a truck, Bill makes his daughter out it away only to have his new wife become hot for his son and Toby having his girlfriend set ablaze.Flowing smoothly it never drags, feels incomplete or rushed. The humor worked well even though The last line from Todd worrying about his dad building a new house was corny. The music was sensual, horrifying and brings out all the emotions the script writers intended. This is a grand finale to a fascinating series never afraid to take risks or try new ideas.

Bill Martin (Robin Thomas) builds a house to raise a new family of his own with his teenage son Todd (Allen Cutler), his daughter Jessica "Jessie" Martin (Rachel Duncan), and Claire Martin (Starr Adreeff) and her nerd son Jimmy (Jarrett Lennon), an outcast boy that misses his father (Clayton Murray) and has the mouse Max as his only friend. Todd has a girlfriend, Dana (Lisa Robin Kelly), who is frequently with him.Bill finds a doll house in the garage that is a replica of the infamous Amityville haunted house and he gives it to Jessie on her birthday. Soon the family experiences evil accidents and Bill's sister Marla (Lenore Kasdorf) and her husband Tobias (Franc Ross) discover that the doll house is possessed by demons that are threatening their lives."Amityville: Dollhouse" is another story of the franchise "Amityville" with a reasonable plot and terrible conclusion. I saw this movie for the first time on 15 Dec 1999 on VHS and today I have just seen it again. It is unacceptable that Tobias sacrifices his life to save the Martin family and Bill and Claire end the movie laughing, after losing their friend and all possessions in the fire. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "A Casa Maldita" ("The Damned House")

Amityville: Dollhouse (1996) * (out of 4) Silly eighth entry in the original series has a husband moving his son and daughter into a house he built with his new wife and her son. None of the kids like the other parent but things take a turn for the worse when daddy finds an old dollhouse in a shed, which just happens to be a replica of the Amityville house. Soon enough all sorts of weird things begin to happen and of course no one thinks about destroying the dollhouse. AMITYVILLE: DOLLHOUSE is yet another direct-to-video cash-in on the original series and I guess the producers knew it was such a turkey that they didn't even try to make another one. This is a pretty bad film on many levels but unlike some of the other rip-offs (like AMITHVILLE: IT'S ABOUT TIME), this one here doesn't work on any level. Most of these sequels had little to nothing to do with the original film but it's clear the title Amityville meant rentals so we had all sorts of strange stories made up with that title added. There's very little working for this movie but at least the creatures at the very end look pretty good. Outside of that it's your typical low-budget horror movie with bland performances, a bad story and just nothing exciting going on. The death scenes are all laughable and just wait until you see the giant mouse that shows up.

This one, (the last one), really has it's quirks- seriously.This film consists of all of the right ingredients of a modern horror flick: Sex, lies, drama, horror, fantasy, suspense, terror, and "lots of fire" all together in bits, thrown together to make an INREDIBLE come-back for the Amityville series.A doll-house takes the role of the terror this time, and ultimately leads to the final confrontation, and the final ending of the Amityville saga.The series has lived long, and has gone out with a big BANG as a wonderful 90's flick.This is a good one, folks. Make no mistake.
