Amityville Rex [DVD]
(Jeff Kirkendall, Ken VanSant, Marie Delorenzo, Mark Polonia, et al / DVD / NR / 2026 / Wild Eye Releasing)
Overview: When a dinosaur is resurrected and possessed to serve a demonic agenda, a new terror is unleashed on Amityville.
DVD Verdict: Amityville Rex resurrects the infamous haunted legacy of Amityville with a gloriously unhinged new twist: demonic possession meets prehistoric destruction. When an ancient dinosaur is brought back to life and possessed by a dark, infernal force, the sleepy town of Amityville becomes ground zero for an unholy rampage.
As chaos erupts, a battle-hardened priest, a determined police officer, and a desperate fugitive must form an uneasy alliance to exorcise the beast and stop the hellish creature before it annihilates everything in its path.
Directed by cult cinema mainstay Mark Polonia--creator of Cocaine Shark, Splatter Farm, and Sharkula--this latest entry in the sprawling Amityville extended universe takes the series to new, deliriously absurd heights. Serving as a loose sequel to Polonia’s Amityville in Space, the film doubles down on the franchise’s trademark blend of supernatural horror and gonzo creature-feature mayhem.
With its gleefully low-budget aesthetic, outrageous special effects, and tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, Amityville Rex is tailor-made for fans who embrace Amityville’s wildest excesses and unapologetic B-movie energy.
A pure, low budget, wonderous C-Movie experience from start to finish, Amityville Rex is the kind of film you can enjoy on two distinctly different levels: If you partake in puff-puff, well, you’ll get an extraordinary cinematic experience, of that you have my word! Or if you watch it sober of all such things, but thoroughly enjoy such low budget experiences, you will get a different kind of kick out of its maniacally OTT moments (and there are a crap load of them, of course!)
Packed with absurd spectacle and demonic dinosaur carnage, the film captures the Polonia Brothers’ distinctive brand of regional horror--one that thrives on creativity, chaos, and pure DIY spirit. Bonus features include a director’s commentary and trailers.
For fans of Amityville in Space, Amityville Death Toilet, Amityville Vampire, Amityville Hex, Amityville Karen, Amityville Cult, and Amityville Island, Amityville Rex stands as another gloriously over-the-top chapter in horror’s most enduring--and delightfully ridiculous--cinematic universe.
