Alternate Ending - 2/10 by Tim BraytonCredit where credit's due: it most have taken some work to make "floor lamp possessed by demons" even more ridiculous-looking than it sounds.
User Review - 8/10 by Shawn WHouse makes an appearance even though it blew up in part 3. A demon possessed lamp travels cross country to California. The beginning starts like a scene out of the exorcist. there's appearances by a deceased husband, black sludge and a dismembered hand coming out of a bursting pipe, electrical equipment turning on by itself, black water coming out of the faucets, bleeding walls and floors...i like all these old effects!
User Review - 6/10 by Lee ?To be honest I don't mind the Amityville films. This fourth film in the series has the evil demon move across from Long Island to California via a creepy looking lamp which it has transferred into ready to torment another family. It's not great but it has enough entertaining moments to enjoy and it moves along at a good pace. If you didn't enjoy any of the previous Amityville films then avoid this one.
User Review - 6/10 by Bill TFunny bad movie about Patty Duke and family being terrorized by... a lamp?? Yes, the demons of Amityville... got into this lamp... which travelled out of Amityville.. to California. Anyways, I'm glad we cleared that up. The lamp apparently can transport itself into anyone or thing. Why it set itself into a lamp is one of the myriad of questions this hooty film has in store. All the kids are dreadful actors (Brandy Gold especially) and wtf is up withGeri Betzler's cheeks??? Full of cotton??
User Review - 6/10 by Russell GA bit of a poor man's Exorcist. Still, it makes for a lot of good, clean horror fun. This one's quite ok, actually!
User Review - 6/10 by Kristin LHar ikke sett noen av de andre Amityville-filmene, men denne var en god 80-tallsgrøsser :)
User Review - 6/10 by Alex WThe lamp (an eerie image from my childhood) haunts me to this day. But the movie is terrible.
User Review - 4/10 by Owen MA snore of a film whose only redeeming factor is a scene which involves a fat kid, his grandmother, and a chainsaw. Must be seen to be believed!
User Review - 4/10 by Brian BIt's not that it is awful but it is a TV film about Amityville and horror without any horror and a killer lamp.
User Review - 4/10 by Debbie MAmityville lives! Yes the infamous "Amityville Horror" returns to the screen... the small screen that is as third entry "Amityville 3-D" ensured no more "Amityville" sequels would be graced with a theatrical release so yes this fourth film (also known as "Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes") was made for dreaded TV. Can "Amityville" live on with TV production limitations? Well... The film starts off running with a rag-tag S.W.A.T.-like team of priests heading in to the infamous house like a military operation to take down the evil once and for all. Black goo and electronics go berserk as the "evil" escapes into a horrific looking lamp. The lamp is then bought by an unknowing victim (Patty Duke) and soon evil infects her household. "The Evil Escapes" marks the first sequel of many to come in which the plot revolves around a cursed object from the infamous house bringing poltergeists down upon their unsuspecting owners. The idea of new people moving into the cursed house was growing old fast (as shown in "Amityville 3-D") so this new approach is a refreshing twist but thanks to poor execution and script makes this entry a dud. The TV productions values rear their ugly head at every turn as this film looks cheap and made on the quick. To be honest the film really resembles a long, drawn out episode of the "Friday the 13th" TV series in which each episode revolved around a different cursed object. Whereas the show had enough plot to go on for 45 minutes, this film drags it's poorly paced plot out for an hour and a half. The "scares", if you can really call them that, only involve electrical appliances going amok including chainsaws, blenders and stoves. That's about it. There is also a humorous scene where a women cuts her finger on the cursed lamp and dies from infection. The problem with the scares is this film was made for prime-time TV so not much was allowed in terms of violence, blood and horror so this is strictly PG TV material here. Due to this the film also overall has a very hokey and cornball feel to it, mostly due to its shit production values and cheesy effects. The effect of a demonic face in the lamp bulb is laugh inducing and not-the-least bit 'scary.' Continuity is also thrown out the window as eagle -eyed viewers will recall that the house EXPLODED at the end of "Part 3" yet here the house is, in all its creepy glory. Then again continuity was never major concern for the "Amityville" franchise as the errors would only continue to grow with each sequel. "Amityville Horror: The Evil Escapes" was the first "Amityville" film I ever saw and as a child and I embarrassingly admit it scared me.... then again I was only 6 when I saw it! Much like "Superman III" it's a horrible way to get your cherry broke by a franchise as it's so damn tame thanks to being made-for-TV. The ending is left open but the franchise would surprisingly get upgraded to direct-to-video releases after this and just forgot about this entry all together. VERY passable and only for "Amityville" completists. Bonus Rant: The title was always an annoyance to me. All the other "Amityville" sequels dropped the word "Horror" from the title and just added a number and/or a subtitle. The box artwork for this film always got it right with either the title reading "Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes" or "Amityville: The Evil Escapes" sans the number 4. However the title card on the action film has the damn word "Horror" added in. Damn I hate title inconsistencies!
