Amityville Vibrator (2020) User Reviews (5)

Sound, fury, scum

[BandSAboutMovies · 3/10 · 30 November 2021]

Look, if all director and writer Nathan Rumler (Fangboner, Gay for Pray: The Erotic Adventures of Jesus Christ) had done was write this movie's tagline, "For God's sake, get off!" and never even made the movie, we'd be fine.

However, I made a deal with a lesser demon to get Arrow blu rays for free, which means that now I must review every Amityvlille movie or pay for their latest releases with something worth way more than my paycheck.

Cathy (Corella Waring, CarousHELL) has done the unthinkable. She's bought a marital aid at a yard sale, which may be the most wrong of the many wrong things in this movie. The more she and her girlfriend Roxi (Mallory Maneater) use the titular evil wand upon one another, the more chance that the demons that possessed the residents of 112 Ocean Avenue will find their way into their loins. And their souls, I guess.

Also, the vibrator can talk.

Also, there's Spanky, a possessed ventriloquist dummy that rips off a man's face and then has sex with a woman.

Also, there's a murder scene juxtaposed with a sex scene.

Also, a character asks "Perform an exorcism on my (slang for part of anatomy)."

Also, two characters take mushrooms in the woods for real and in real time we watch them wander all over the place.

Meanwhile, Chad (Rumler) - the ex-boyfriend of Cathy - and his partner Mallory (Emily Hilborn) are kind of cosplaying Friday the 13th the Series except they are hunting down all of the cursed objects from the DeFeo house and only have one object left. Yes, the magical vibrator.

That said, in no way is this movie for anyone easily offended by, well, anything. It's exactly what it promises to be and much, much worse. It's a grimy, gross and upsetting movie that's definitely going to have an audience. And well, I guess I'm in it because I have to see every Amityville movie and write them up if I want that UHD of They Call Her One Eye without suffering in Hell for all eternity.

Mitigating factor: a male cover version of the spraying amputation in Tenebre, copious amounts of well-done gore and people who are all obviously having fun making this. Honestly, this movie gave me the same feelings I had watching Cannibal Holocaust and that says to me that despite watching every Bruno Mattei and Joe D'Amato movie this year, I am still human after all.

Who is this even for?

This film knows what it's after and it goes for it with gusto. That said, I don't know who this film was made for.

On the one hand it is absolutely a silly, cheesy, b grade horror film with enough dumb humor to satisfy as a get together and get high movie.

On the other hand it is more sexually explicit than I would watch with a group of friends, unless I wanted everybody to feel more than a little uncomfortable.

When I say dumb humor I mean there is a scene where the main protagonist sees a ventriloquist dummy that wasn't there a minute ago. She goes and gets her friend to see it. When they walk back into the room our protagonist says "Where is it?" and her friend says "What are you talking about, it's right there", and they show the ventriloquist dummy, but it has on a fake mustache, and the protagonist says "It seems different for some reason." It's a gleefully dumb film that never takes itself too seriously. And don't worry, the ventriloquist dummy bangs our protagonist with its big doll penis.

There's a fair amount of blood and gore, and each sequence that includes either one is executed with varying degrees of success.

The ladies who get naked are easy enough on the eyes, but at no point did I find myself turned on.

The male who gets naked does so to comedic effect each time.

The lighting throughout often dilutes clarity, but never to any real detriment.

The ending is a muddled thing that doesn't give the audience any real closure.

Overall I found this to be a pretty enjoyable film, with my only complaints being that the ending is weak, and the nudity precludes it from being something I watch with a group of friends which is what it feels like you should do with it otherwise.

Not for the faint of heart

I love this movie because it's so disturbing but in all the best ways.

The whole vibe is like a 90s cult horror film which is great because they just don't make them like that anymore.

I love the cheesiness of the dialogue and the choice of music.

Definitely give this movie a chance if you're a fan cheesy lines and old-school gore effects.

Move over John Waters, filth has a new daddy.

From the moment i saw the illustrated opening credits, i knew i was in for a treat. Amityville Vibrator is exactly what you'd expect from a sex filled, gore driven, satanic panic. It's got it all! Gratuitous sex, drugs, and the best of the worst dialog I've seen on the screen in ages. The only thing i felt was missing was another viewing, i can not wait to buy the dvd just to corrupt my innocent friends. I ended up with a stronger distrust for ventriloquist dummies than i did going in, and that's saying something.

The best film with Amityville in its name.

Probably the most enjoyable film overall with the Amityville name. I remember the first one being decent but boring and part 2 being nice and sleazy. Also Mark Polonia's recent Amityville Island was goofy fun but Amityville Vibrator Donalds them all.

Amityville Vibrator feels like a Deathscort Service/Sleazebox type of film with non-stop nudity and sleaze featuring mostly women who probably should have kept their clothes on. Like those films this also features graphic penetration from fingers and the titular vibrator. The investigator chick was by far the best looking of the lot so of course she got the least naked. Her death scene was also off screen but is made up for somewhat by the desecration of her corpse by a marionette.

The questionable quality of the nudity and the drug scene in the middle which drags are about the only negatives here. Also, if you advertise your film as containing real drug use I better not just see off screen mushroom eating (is that what you do with them? Do you insert them anally?) and doober smoking. Give me explicit heroin abuse with the user ripping their arm open with a dirty coat hanger they find on the filthy ground (ala Combat Shock).

There's a good amount of graphic and inventive gore fx from fellow Michigan gore mongers James and Amanda Bell. Not quite as memorable gore wise as their films but still pretty good. This features both the unique gore of Very Fine Craps Videos films along with the same kind of lo-fi music that they use in their films.

At a brief 63 minutes Amityville Vibrator flies by with almost non-stop nudity, sleaze and gore (minus the pointless drug scene). Like his previous film Fangboner, Amityville Vibrator is a future cult sleaze classic from the pride of Lapeer, Nathan Rumler.
