Before we get started, let's get something straight. "Prequel" is a made-up word that means "a sequel about shit that went down before the stuff in the previous movie happened". For example, all those shitty new Star Wars movies were prequels, but Jaws is not the prequel to Jaws 2. You see how that works, dipshit? I swear, the next time somebody screws this up I'm gonna shove the business end of a plunger up their ass and work it 'til their eyes implode.

Okay, so, this movie is the prequel to Part 1, and it's so much better than it's predecessor you'll probably think Netflix sent you the wrong movie. Seriously, this has domestic violence, incest (brother-sister), church bashing, prayer book destroying, blood... and that's before the main kid slaughters his entire family. You feel dirty just for watching it. The ghosts really know what they're doing this time around- instead of pulling a bunch of standard haunted house shit and freaking everybody out, everything they do is calculated to piss off the dad who proceeds to go ballistic on everyone else which creates like this endless cycle of violence. It's fucking brilliant and way smarter than your average ghost flick. After the big massacre the main kid gets arrested, but the family priest breaks him out and takes him back to the house so they can have a gory, completely out-of-control exorcism. It's unbelievable. If you only see one Amityville Horror movie in your entire life, make sure it's this one.
