Reviews:
“An okay (by these standards) cast makes The Amityville Moon marginally better than most DTV Amityville movies […] Whatever small points may fall in this film’s favor are quickly negated by boringly bland camera positions, a clunky screenplay stuffed with objectively unnecessary scenes, and “scares” no one could possibly take seriously.” Culture Crypt
“The narrative sounds ridiculous enough to be fun, with a weird religious theme complete with nuns, tied into a werewolf story, but it all winds up as boring and not well executed […] The languid pace really drags the entire movie down, but that is due in part to the script, which seems to be content with dull exposition and very little in terms of horror, tension, or violence.” Marc Fusion
