Reviews:
” …writer and director Bobby Canipe Jr didn’t deliver anything worthwhile or particularly entertaining. This was a low-budget, amateurish attempt at a horror movie at best. The movie is listed as a horror comedy, but there isn’t much of either to be seen […] The acting performances in Amityville Ripper were questionable at best.” 2 out of 10, Paul Haakonsen
“The only saving grace to this fiasco is that everyone on and off screen is in on the joke that they’re making a bad movie. While this comedic attempt doesn’t entirely work, breaking the fourth wall is about as creative as these cruddy movies can get.” 1.5 out of 4, Splatter Critic
” …Amityville Ripper manages to work in some effects, including a decapitation and a parody of Psycho’s shower scene that should satisfy those who want some flesh with their blood. Less impressive are the effects for the aliens when they make their appearance, but that shouldn’t really surprise anyone […] Amityville Ripper is a legitimately funny film that obviously had a good deal of thought put into it.” ★★★★ Voices from the Balcony
