Blu-ray Review: Amityville: The Cursed Collection

After the original trilogy, The Amityville Horror's storyline had run its course, as had its theatrical viability. The 1979 original is an iconic adaptation of Jay Anson’s allegedly true book. 1982's Amityville II: The Possession is a successful prequel that shows the murders that led to the house being haunted. 1983's Amityville 3-D rested its laurels on the 3D gimmick for a largely dull entry.

This would spell the end for most franchises (at least until the remake boom), but once the home video industry blossomed, the marketable title was revived for a spate of direct-to-video sequels. While the initial source material had been tapped, four of these later efforts borrowed a concept from John G. Jones' 1988 short story collection, Amityville: The Evil Escapes, in which cursed objects from the original house find their way into unsuspecting peoples' lives.

Vinegar Syndrome has collected the pseudo-quadrilogy of 1989's Amityville: The Evil Escapes, 1992's Amityville: It’s About Time, 1993's Amityville: A New Generation, and 1996's Amityville Dollhouse - the fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth installments in the franchise, respectively - in a Blu-ray box set dubbed Amityville: The Cursed Collection. (The absent fifth entry, 1990's The Amityville Curse, is an unrelated Canadian production that remains out of print due to rights issues.)

Amityville: The Evil Escapes was made for television but features decent production value, including a strong opening with a rain storm and a fairly convincing facade of the original Amityville house at 112 Ocean Avenue. The Amityville Horror screenwriter Sandor Stern returned to write and direct the followup. While having one of the original creative forces at the helm is a good omen, his effort is light on scares.

The film follows Nancy Evans (Patty Duke, Valley of the Dolls) and her three children. The untimely death of Nancy's husband has put a financial burden on the family, forcing them to move to rural California to live with her mother, Alice (Jane Wyatt, Star Trek), who recently received an antique lamp from the Amityville house. The 300-year-old evil is attached to the lamp and then transmigrates to the most vulnerable person in the house: the grieving youngest child, Jessica (Brandy Gold), who communicates with her late father.

The familial melodrama is akin to a Lifetime movie, while a series of strange occurrences in the house causes further tension between its inhabitants. Naturally, the cursed lamp lights up whenever something happens. The ridiculous plot lends itself to a few entertaining set pieces, including a possessed chainsaw and a garbage disposal gone wrong. The gore in the latter scene was absent from the TV broadcast but was added for the home video release and remains intact on Blu-ray.

Duke is probably a little too old for her role, but she's good in it. The kids don't fare as well, but what's asked of them is fairly minimal. The cast also includes Fredric Lehne (Supernatural) and Norman Lloyd (Saboteur) as a pair of priests from Amityville, Aron Eisenberg (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) as Nancy's son, and Peggy McCay (Days of Our Lives) as Alice's sister, who sets the story into motion by gifting her the lamp.

Amityville: The Evil Escapes's Blu-ray disc includes new interviews with Stern and cinematographer Tom Richmond (House of 1000 Corpses, Chopping Mall). Stern's conversation is an informative one, but the most interesting fact is that he had no idea more sequels were made after this one. Richmond details how he felt more like the lighting manager than the director of photographer, as Stern was more experienced and knew what he wanted.

Amityville: It’s About Time is directed by Tony Randel (Hellbound: Hellraiser II) and written by Christopher DeFaria (who went on to executive produce the likes of Mad Max: Fury Road, Gravity, and Ready Player One) and Antonio Toro. Its subtitle is not just a clever clock pun; the movie deals with time in rather interesting, if sometimes nonsensical, ways - including time shifts. The name also works in a metaphorical sense, as the core of the picture is about a character struggling to break the cycle of making the same mistakes.

In the film, the Amityville house has been torn down and replaced with a new development, but architect Jacob Sterling (Stephen Macht, The Monster Squad) helped himself to a antique clock. He brings it home to suburban California, where his ex-girlfriend, Andrea (Shawn Weatherly, Police Academy 3: Back in Training), is watching his two teenage kids, Rusty (Damon Martin, Ghoulies II) and Lisa (Megan Ward, Encino Man). The clock physically roots itself into their home and begins controlling the family members.

Rusty - who's depicted as a "troubled" kid in a very '90s way, complete with black clothing, an earring, and heavy metal music - recognizes that there is an evil presence, but everyone else blames him for the weird happenings in the neighborhood. While he's at the center of it, the plot successfully integrates the entire household, unlike the previous film, and the complicated family dynamic is a welcome shakeup of the formula.

Playing more like an ensemble than any other Amityville, each cast member is able to pull their own weight. Macht's role is fairly thankless, as a dog attack leaves him in failing health, but he fully commits. Jonathan Penner (Survivor) gives a charismatic performance as Andrea's pretentious psychologist boyfriend, and Nita Talbot (Hogan's Heroes), Terrie Snell (Home Alone), and Dick Miller (Gremlins) are among the neighbors who pop up.

If not for the tenuous connection to the Amityville Horror franchise, I suspect this picture might have more of a cult following. (It's easier for word-of-mouth to spread about a lone gem than the sixth entry in a direct-to-video franchise.) The most entertaining film in the set, It's About Time is a charming, if unspectacular, B-movie with a delightfully silly plot and several fun moments featuring special effects by KNB EFX Group (From Dusk Till Dawn, Scream), the most memorable of which sees a character melting into the floor.

Amityville: It’s About Time's Blu-ray disc includes new interviews with Randel and DeFaria. Randel seems to relish the opportunity to discuss the film, as he says no one ever asks about it, and praises the cast and crew. DeFaria explains that he offered to write the film as a way to get his foot in the door as a producer - which, looking at his post-Amityville resume, seems to have worked out for him.

Amityville: A New Generation eschews the franchise's traditional, suburban family dynamic in favor of a metaphorical one; a community of artists living in an urban loft co-opt. It focuses on Keyes Terry (Ross Partridge, Stranger Things), a struggling photographer who's struck with inspiration when a homeless man gives him an ornate mirror that has been in his family for generations. The mirror predicts the death of its first victim, which would be an interesting enough concept, but alas it is not consistent. Ultimately, the possessed object tempts Keyes to commit murder.

The film boasts a powerful supporting cast that includes David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London) as the landlord, Terry O'Quinn (Lost) as a detective, Richard Roundtree (Shaft) as one of the artists, Robert Rusler (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge) as a disgruntled ex-boyfriend, and a particularly charming Lin Shaye (Insidious) as a mental hospital nurse. Although the cast elevates the material, the script - penned by a returning DeFaria and Toro - remains lackluster.

While the previous entries did an admirable job to overcome their limited resources, A New Generation looks and feels very much like a '90s direct-to-video movie; THE of the same caliber as the endless Children of the Corn, Hellraiser, and The Prophecy sequels that were being churned out around the same time. Despite a direct connection to the Amityville mythology beyond the mirror, it hardly even feels like an Amityville movie.

Directed by John Murlowski (Santa with Muscles) made the inspired choice to hire The Amityville Horror visual effects artist William Cruse to handle the elaborate mirror effects. They're all accomplished in camera; an impressive feat that sounds great in theory but looks campy in practice. The film also features cinematography by future Academy Award winner Wally Pfister (Inception, The Dark Knight).

Amityville: A New Generation's disc includes new interviews with Murlowski and DeFari, plus a commentary by Murlowski. Murlowski's chat includes a breakdown of the analog effects, supplemented by behind-the-scenes footage. His commentary allows him to go more in depth, citing The Shining as an inspiration, pointing out the similarities to Oculus, and addressing shortcomings such as the pacing and the rubber monster. DeFari discusses the challenges of channeling artists' fears on screen and offers advice for aspiring filmmakers.

Amityville Dollhouse is perhaps the most traditional of the bunch in terms of concept, though its execution goes in a different direction. In it, a newly blended family moves into a house that the contractor father, Bill Martin (Robin Thomas, Summer School), built on the original Amityville lot. Bill finds an old dollhouse - a miniature model of the Amityville abode, naturally - and gives it to his young daughter. While the girl ostensibly releases the evil, the strange occurrences begin before she receives the gift.

The eerie events start small but escalate to the point where the family's younger boy sees his deceased father, urging him to murder his family. The father appears in three stages of decay, a la Jack in An American Werewolf in London. His ultimate form is something like a cross between Tales from the Crypt's Crypt Keeper and Friday the 13th Part VII's Jason Voorhees, but he's too loquacious to be scary, delivering a few Freddy Krueger-esque quips.

While the deceased father feels a bit out of place in an Amityville movie, he is the highlight of the film, thanks to exceptional makeup by SOTA Effects' Roy Knyrim (The Toxic Avenger Part II & III). Also notable is an appearance by a young Lisa Robin Kelly (That '70s Show). The film marks the lone directorial effort of Steve White, who executive produced all four films in the set, along with The Devil’s Advocate and Halloweentown. Joshua Michael Stern (director of Jobs) penned the script.

Amityville Dollhouse's disc includes new interviews with White, Knyrim, and director of photography Thomas L. Callaway (Feast, Slumber Party Massacre II), along with alternate footage from the TV edit. White, having produced the prior three films, offers an interesting perspective. Knyrim discusses the progression of the dead father's makeup and how existing creature parts were repurposed for demons in the climax. Callaway breaks down a few interesting techniques, like a 360-degree shot with a periscope lens and the challenges of lighting a character covered in latex.

The perfect companion to Scream Factory's The Amityville Horror Trilogy set, Amityville: The Cursed Collection is available exclusively from Vinegar Syndrome. It's not as loaded with extras as some of the company's releases (there's no input from any cast members and only one commentary), but each movie offers at least a couple of new interviews. All four films have been newly restored in 4K from their 35mm original camera negatives, so they look better than they ever have. Each disc is in its own Blu-ray case with reversible artwork, all packaged in a slipcase box designed by Earl Kessler Jr., which is limited to 4,000.

Amityville: The Cursed Collection is available now from Vinegar Syndrome.

Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184: Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat #1408

(By Sten Hugo Hiller - 627184) Mountain Climbing Mecha Combat #1408 Brought to you by ANN Highlighting the January 3367 Anzu Zoo Chrono This time the Gaming Authorities decided to promote the 15 ton suicidal "White Lightening" (Anzu) Mech, and they felt a Chrono was just the thing. Commanders fighting on the eight tallest tops were allowed to bring one other non-Anzu Mech along, -provided it massed no more than 20 tons. -On K9 they got an unlimited Chrono instead. Much have been said about the Anzu over the years. While it can get up to speeds no other Mechs can match, it suffers from bad Precision, low armor and Dodge, and no shielding whatsoever. Add in the tendency it have to blow itself up, and it is understandable that many Commanders prefer to stay well away from them. But it is nearly as cheap to buy and upgrade as the Red Ant, and those two models (as well as the Craftsmen Nephilax) are the only Mechs that can be upgraded using only Ferrite and Bioptics. So while Anzus are far from my prefered rides, there are four full dozens of them in the hangar just for the times when they are supposed to shine. We were yet again summoned to appear on K3, and since it was a Chrono where every point counted, the Anzus were called up. They  ran over to the arena immediately, and scant seconds later the top was ours. But not for long. Yusuke Paul Okabayashi from Myth and Legends Team Banzai arrived before the first scoreround and blew us off the top. Some probing showed that despite the Penner he used on point, there were a lot of Anzu`s behind it. How many were unclear as we never got past his fourth line. Other contestants trickled in, and while some of them had forgotten to check the rules of combat, at least a handfull had brought Anzu`s in numbers. Time after time we were dispatched from the slopes, a couple times  down to the lowest possible foothill. But agonizing battle after battle we managed to crawl back up to the slopes. And in the end, the early points we had gotten assured us a place in the second rank when the prizes were given out. Some footage we had gotten made it possible to figure out that this events highest scorers had been: Div 1 487+ (11 Commanders): Claude Poirier, Winters Coming (+9930) 2: Bernard Johnson 3: John T Mainer 4: Fabio Favaro 5: Shawn Wretham 6: Gary Muenzel 7: George Warren 8: Jay Fleharty 9: David Buchanan 10: Chad Leon Baker Div 2 -486 (25 Commanders): Sherriff Leary Wretham, W&D HQ (+8640) Div 3 -368 (13 Commanders): Yusuke Paul Okabayashi, M&L Team Banzai (+9100) Div 4 -238 (17 Commanders): Luc Lachance, Ronins (+16610) Div 5 -175 (14 Commanders): Tarandriel, Death`s Revenge (+4160) Div 6 -139 (16 Commanders): Neves7again, Black Star Bandits (+8190) Div 7  107 (17 Commanders): Albores Jam, M&L B.C. 13th A.D. (+1190) Div 8 -72 (16 Commanders): Cora Soco Hiller, TI.o.M.T. (+2570) Div 9 -40 (23 Commanders): Scottie Scott, Ronins 2 (+1800) On the eight highest tops, where mainly Anzu`s were to be used 6(1S)+7(1S)+8(G)+11(2S)+10(2S)+12(G,2S)+13(G,3S)+11(3S)= Three Golds, fourteen Silvers and sixty-one Bronzes were awarded to Commanders who clearly had non-regular formations when the event ended. Total Contestants: 152 Total medals claimed: 128 (of 135 possible) Compared to the recent Rainbow event, the participation was reduced by twenty-three Commanders. And the imbalance between the tops raised its ugly head again. This time a total of seven Bronzes from a trio of tops ended unclaimed and had to be returned for resmelting. However, the unclaimed Bronzes on Mount Olympus might well be laid at the feet of the Gaming Authorities as a result of the stringent  entry requirements they had for the highest top in this event. The highest score achieved in this event was on K2 where Sherriff Leary Wretham from Dragons & Warlocks Headquarters amassed 71 950 points. Biggest gap to the runner-up was on K4 where Luc Lachance from Ronins won by a margin of 16 610. And on K5, a latecomer got a Bronze without scoring even a single point. Five of the Golds were decided by magins in excess of 8000, but we also had two Golds where the difference were below 2000. One of them was decided by just 1190, -less than one scoreround on the top. But was the fight for the rest of the prizes closer? Best way to find out is to look at the differences between the medal tiers in this event: ..Silver to Bronze....Bronze to nothing Div 1 ......5180......…….......N/A Div 2 ......8230...…............1400 Div 3 ....12600...…..............N/A Div 4 ......8190...…..........12560 Div 5 ......9810...…..............N/A Div 6 ......6860...…............1320 Div 7 ......2380...…............1560 Div 8 ......3420...…............2660 Div 9 ......6720...…............1880 This time we had solid to impressive walls all over. One of the Bronzes and one of the Silvers had a five-digit difference, and none of the contested medals were won by less than 1300. This became another of the "none" events. None of the clans won more than one Gold, none of the Golds went to unaligned Commanders, and none of the last events winners managed to claim a follow-up Gold. Upcoming event: Krampus Here we are back to being allowed to use only a single model of Mechs again. This time it is the 70 ton Krampus who is to shine on the eight highest tops. On K9 there are no restrictions whatsoever. Event ends January 8 between 2130 and 2200 New York Time

SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ - A San Tan Valley boy is named an "honorary firefighter" for his incredible actions after rescuing his mom who had blacked out in the bathtub.

Five-year-old Salvatore Cicalese was in bed when he heard his mother fall.  Sal grabbed his two-month-old baby sister, wrapped her in a blanket and took her to the living room. Then he grabbed a bar stool and went out into the garage, stood on the stool to open the garage door, went back in the house to get his baby sister and carried her to their neighbor's home.

Jessica Penoyer says she was surprised when little Sal showed up at her front door by himself at night.

"He's standing there and holding something and I thought it was a doll," said Penner.  She initially thought Sal was telling her his dog died.

"He said no, my mom died in the shower. Can you take care of us?" said Penner.

She called 911 and found the child's mother unconscious in the bathtub, with the shower still running.

"Honestly he saved my life. I was under the faucet. If he wouldn't have gotten help, I would I would have drowned," said Sal's mother Kaitlyn Cicalese.

This was her second seizure since her pregnancy. Cicalese said all she remembers was putting her children to bed, then going to take a shower after a stressful day.

"I turned on the shower, that's all I remember," said Cicalese. Her next memory was waking up in the hospital.

She said the incident had been traumatic for her son.

"Every day is a challenge for us. He asks me a billion times if I'm going to be okay. He'll tell me ‘are you going to have another seizure,’ no I'm ok. Are you going to die today? No, I'm not going to die today," said Cicalese.

She added that Sal had told his "nana" that he took the baby and left to get help because he did not want his sister to see their mom dead.

Sal did not say much, but he showed ABC15 Arizona how he climbed on top of the bar stool to get help. He said he fell on a stack of shoes at one point, then got back up on the stool.

Cicalese said she was amazed at the courage and bravery her son had displayed.

Rural Metro firefighters decided to honor the child after hearing the story. A fire truck rolled up to the home on Friday afternoon.

Fire spokesman Shawn Gilleland presented Sal with an "honorary firefighter" certificate, a patch, a shirt, and a helmet.

"Rural Metro fire wants to recognize you as an honorary firefighter. You get to join the ranks of all these guys that came to help your mom," said Gilleland.

He added that this story was a great example for parents to discuss how to respond to an emergency with their children.

"Talk to them about it. What do you need to do? How do you dial 911. What are the proper uses for 911? Also, how do you get out of your house? What to do if there is a fire," said Gilleland.

Sal's family said they had not discussed any of this with their son before, it seems like he acted on instinct.

If Thursday’s Saskatoon Meewasin byelection was indeed a small-scale referendum on the Saskatchewan Party, as pundits and politicians have proclaimed, the result could be considered a glimmer of hope for the provincial NDP.

With talk of program cuts, unpaid days off for public workers, wage rollbacks, layoffs in health care and education, as well as tax increases as the government struggles to balance what Premier Brad Wall has said is a $1.2 billion deficit, voters looked away from the governing Saskatchewan Party and backed high-profile NDP contender Ryan Meili over local businessman and Saskatchewan Party candidate Brent Penner. In a race that wasn’t as tight as predicted, Meili led from the first polls reported to win the Bridge City riding.

“We won. Isn’t that amazing,” Meili said, drawing roars from the crowd in attendance at his victory celebration, calling the win “an incredible honour.

“Isn’t this a beautiful feeling? And it’s been a beautiful experience … They wanted, you wanted, to send a message for Meewasin.”

With all 50 of Thursday’s ballot boxes reported, Meili received 54.2 per cent (2,666 votes), comfortably ahead of Penner at 39.9 per cent (1,962 votes). Also running were Liberal candidate Darrin Lamoureaux (3.7 per cent, 180 votes), Progressive Conservative candidate David Prokopchuk (1.3 per cent, 62 votes) and Green Party candidate Shawn Setyo (1.1 per cent, 53 votes).

“I’m feeling very excited, very honoured, and I’m feeling like this is something quite big in the province,” Meili told reporters after speaking to the crowd.

“Not because I’ve been elected, but because people have chosen to send this message. The message that this government is past its best-before date and they want to see things done better.”

Prince Estate And Estate Litigation After Heirs Pass Away

By Evan Guthrie

March 10, 2020

The estate of Prince has been ongoing since his death in April of 2016, with the death of one of the heirs of the Prince estate, half brother, Alfred Jackson Jr. in August of 2019 there is estate litigation in the administration of Jackson’s estate in probate court in Missouri.

Prince did not have a will at the time of his death and his estate that is valued up to $300,000,000 was ruled to be distributed to his sister and five half siblings of which Jackson was one.

Jackson’s death created a new estate situation as one of his surviving half siblings, Shawn Jackson,that was not related to Prince is contesting a will that Jackson signed that disinherited his family members and gave his estate to a California entertainment consultant, Raffles van Exel . Jackson also is reported to have signed a business deal on the day that he died to sell 90% of his expected inheritance to Pimary Wave, a music publishing and talent management company.

Shawn Jackson alleges that

“van Exel has a history of searching out celebrities and their family when they are at a low point and then inserting himself into their lives ultimately for his own financial gain or for financial gain of those he is associated with”.
