Chris & Kelsey botch an exorcism and inherit a theater! The Classic Film: Amityville II: The Possession (1982) "A dysfunctional family moves into a new house, which proves to be satanic, resulting in the demonic possession of their teenage son” (IMDb.com). The Amityville series hasn't quite gone bonkers yet, but this second entry is weird in uncomfortable ways. It's fairly interesting in its execution, but you couldn't say it's great. The Modern Film: Amityville Playhouse (2015) "A teenager and her friends become trapped in a haunted theater with a disturbing connection to Amityville's secret past” (IMDb.com). I'm sure we're tempting fate here, but there's certainly no way the franchise can get any worse than this, the 12th entry.
