Plot: This gory prequel is loosely based on the case of the DeFeo murders, which took place in the famed house in Ocean Avenue before the Lutz's, whose tale was told in THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, moved in. When The Montellis, an Italian-American family, move into the not-yet notorious home, it's not long before rebellious teenage son Sonny (JACK MAGNER) takes to seducing his sister (Diane Franklin, THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN, BETTER OFF DEAD) and slaughtering the entire family. Investigation by the authorities points to the boy's demonic possession, which is later evidenced by a grisly EXORCIST-inspired physical transformation. Screenwriter Tommy Lee Wallace is a frequent collaborator of John

 Better than the tedious original, this sequel manages to be decent viewing until it degenerates into silliness in the final third.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Amityville II does manage a claustrophobic atmosphere. That's the only thing it does even kind of right. Otherwise, it's a terrible mess of a film, which fails to be, by turns, frightening, arousing, disgusting, or even vaguely interesting. 14/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
The only film in the entire "Amityville" franchise worth seeing is a total piece of sleazy, gore-drenched, incestuous trash.-- (eSplatter.com)
It’s funny (well to me anyways) where I have read negative reviews for this film panning it for being “sick”, “disturbing” and “disgusting”. Yo! It’s a horror film! I sure hope it’s sick, disturbing and disgusting! THE MORE THE MERRIER! Amityville 2 had its Monopoly game on for its first tight hour with potent scares, strong acting, shocking bits and chilling mood galore. Too bad the last block was a trite and idiotic Exorcist copycat that felt like it belonged in another movie...  --'The Arrow' (Arrow)

If you liked the first film you might enjoy this crap, otherwise stay out! A dreadful sequel delivering more yawns and laughs rather than shocks and scares. Check out the next one, Amityville 3-D, instead - it's much more fun!  --Slicer-dicer (SlasherPool)
