Wow, within the first minute of the movie, you just know that you're in for 78 minutes of low budget trash. Yeah, the movie was just screaming crappy production and low budget. Just take a look at the acting and the characters, and you will wholeheartedly agree.
Granted, I harbored zero expectations to the movie when I sat down to watch it, and with good cause, because writer and director Bobby Canipe Jr. Didn't deliver anything worthwhile or particularly entertaining. This was a low budget, amateurish attempt at a horror movie at best.
The movie is listed as a horror comedy, but there isn't much of either to be seen throughout the course of the 78 minutes that the movie ran for.
The acting performances in "Amityville Ripper" were questionable at best. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in this 2023 movie. Nor can I claim that I was particularly impressed with anything I witnessed on the screen from the cast members.
Seriously, there should be a law against random people spewing out movies and slabbing the "Amityville" name on it. But hey, despite knowing that the movies are 99% likely to be horrible, we still opt to sit down and give it a chance. And such was it also with "Amityville Ripper" from writer and director Bobby Canipe Jr. Suffice it to say that this wasn't one of those times where an "Amityville" movie proved good and entertaining.
Do yourself a favor and don't fall into this "Amityville" trap. Some of us suffered through it, so you don't have to. You're quite welcome.
My rating of writer and director Bobby Canipe Jr.'s 2023 movie "Amityville Ripper" lands on a two out of ten stars.
