Amityville Exorcism (2017)

A carpenter on death row confesses he stole wood from a job at the Amityville house and something evil came with it. He asks Father Benna to check on his customers to see if they need help. 

Cut to a couple arguing because Jeremy doesn’t like Amy going out with a male friend.  The casting is in question when it’s revealed this is not a couple, but a father and daughter.   Dad is an alcoholic who tries to forget that he killed Amy’s mother by drunk driving. Surprisingly this doesn’t come into play other than when Amy is possessed by the evil residing in the lumber in their basement.

Father Benna comes along just at the right time and begins an exorcism.  He also fights off five old dolls.  It’s pretty ridiculous seeing a grown man rolling around on the floor holding dolls as if he’s fighting with them and they’re able to move.

Questions abound.  Why did the burglar wear a ski mask to break in, but then pull it up to reveal his face once inside? Why did the carpenter wait until the day before his execution to try to help his customers? How much lumber did he steal that he could use it on multiple jobs? Why are there four plates and drinks at the bbq when there are only three people there? Why is there a pot of pasta on the table and pasta on their plates when Jeremy was cooking hotdogs? Why would they cook nine hotdogs for three people and have ten more sitting in a pack beside the grill? And why did Mark Polonia build his pool so close to the road? 

Ridiculous dialogue

Someone has to do something

Who is down here? I can’t see you.. but I can hear you.

This wood. This lumber. Where did it come from?

That’s enough blood to fill six rats.

Oh the framing of this shot
Husband and wife? Or father and daughter?
There is a fourth plate and drink. Also Dad was cooking
hotdogs on the grill, but everyone is eating pasta
The non-moving dolls
Okay
How much lumber did this guy steal from the Amityville job?
Why is the pool so close to the road? And
why do they have nineteen hotdogs for three people?
Plenty of land to put the pool away from the road
