Tagline: Enter the gateway to hell...at your peril!
Plot: 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

 Mediocre sequel, shot in 3-D, caters (if cheaply) mostly to its gimmick forgetting that a decent story and some suspense would have been nice.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
The Amityville Horror tried to accomplish its ends along the same lines, but it was derailed by its bombastic pseudoreligious overtones. 55/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
This under-written, under directed, badly acted and stale as 100 year old used condom sequel can kiss my 12 Gauge! If it wasn’t for all the un-intentional laughter; I would’ve flushed that DVD down my toilet right along with Jeffrey Dahmer’s severed head(and I don’t mean the one on his shoulder). See it if you’re in the mood for a well earned nap, see it if you want to poke fun at it, see it if you’re drunk beyond belief… or better yet…don’t see it. Rent the first two instead. GET OUT…indeed!  --'The Arrow' (Arrow)
