When I first saw the poster, I thought it looked like it was a half-decent production, but literally 10 seconds in...and I realise it isn't.
Horrible, horrible lighting...can hardly see the actor's faces. I understand the cop at night is supposed to be dark, but then scenes in an office in the day, with the lights on...all you can see are shadows cast across all the actor's faces...and the background looks dull, listless and unlit.
Awful, awful sound...it sounds like they used a voice recording app on a phone, in an empty room...it's just low, reverberating, poor quality audio.
Terrible, terrible acting...actors stumble and struggle to deliver lines on time, (could be down to editing)...actors gaze into space and look absolutely gormless. To top it off, there's a guy that's trying to be Will Smith, Chris Tucker and Mike Epps all at the same time...and he was annoying as hell!
Stock footage of cities, that doesn't fit in with the movie. They look like 4K...and the film looks barely 720p.
Switched off after 10 minutes...as it was clear to see where it was going.
Avoid!

1-star for the movie poster
Good grief.
This is down right insufferable. There is nothing what so ever here worth reviewing. An absolute insult to even B movies. Avoid like the plague unless you and some drinking buddies need something to ridicule.
For cop sakes, get out of the police station
You know, I find myself cursed by Amityville more than anyone because I have the kind of OCD that demands that every single time a new Amityville-related film comes out - however tenuous and damn, they can get tenuous - I have to watch it and document it for you, dear reader. Just like Ronald Joseph DeFeo Jr. Felt compelled to murder his family, I feel the horrific pull. And no one dies, except for time which is the resource we never get back.
Imagine my surprise when Amityville Cop, a movie that has nothing at all to do with Amityville, was actually pretty good!
Sure, it's a ripoff of Maniac Cop, but is that such a bad thing?
Directed by Gregory Hatanaka (Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance) and written by Geno McGahee (Satanic Meat Cleaver Massacre), this has the requisite cop killing homeless people, but if he's powered by a Satanic ritual gone wrong led by Laurene Landon - from Maniac Cop and Maniac Cop 2 - I think all can be forgiven.
Someone yells, "He looked like a cop but he was the devil," which is a thing I have thought many times. And sure, the humor is forced, the effects are bad, the stock footage is overused and a rocket launcher is represented by fireworks - and oh yeah, no one even says the words Amityville - but I was entertained.
For anyone writing reviews saying, "This is the worst Amityville movie I've ever seen," at least this is only 68 minutes and I have a murderer's row of Amityville films that are worse.
