I believe out of the newer batch of Amity-movies this one is by far my favorite. It just seems so much more fun somehow.

Movie Reviews
Enjoyable horror

"Amityville-It's About Time is a fun movie for horror fans. The Amityville Horror is back again, this time encompassed in an antique clock with a sinister history. I don't know why, but I found this movie unintentionally hilarious, the father of the family gets bit by a dog and slowly goes mad-as the result of his proximity to the "cursed" clock of course! The teen daughter turns seductive-also a victim of the clock's doings. The neighborhood psychic is the only one who seems like she can help...I liked this movie a lot, but I am perplexed by the ending. What exactly happened there? I don't want to give things away so I won't say more, but it is rather confusing."
Time for more Amityville of this caliber

"Amityville Horror has enjoyed much success as both a true story and a franchise of follow up films that sometimes hit the target and other times missed entirely. Thankfully, Amityville:It's about time hits every target it sets out to. There is a very good storyline to propel the viewer along a-la demonically posessed clock that manages to cause its' owner's family members to turn against each other as well as provide the usual haunted house jitters the original first and second films did so well. The film also hits on a nerve previously not heavily seen in the Amityville series, and that's out and out gore. The dad's festering dog bite is particularly difficult to watch, so if you are squeamish when it comes to gore, close your eyes each time the disgusting wound is revealed. All in all, "Amityville:It's about time" is a first rate yet largely unknown thriller that definitely lives on with the best of the Amityville franchise. Tick.....tock.....tick......tock......."
A Worthy Sequel

"It's about time! After what seems like an unending period of mediocre sequels, the Amityville franchise produces a film on par with the gruesome original. Once again a family comes into contact with an evil clock. If you're looking for originality, this won't be a treat. If you simply want to enjoy another movie based on the formula, you've hit pay dirt. This film isn't perhaps as scary as the original, but it does contain a bathroom scene that gives "Psycho" a run for its money. The actors themselves are unknowns, but turn in decent performances enhanced by the best character development yet in the series. At times the movie seems too bizare with far flung events such as the papa's dog bite which causes him to fester at home until he becomes possessed by evil. Despite this, the film never loses momentum. The pace builds steadily until the fairly exciting climax with the inevitable showdown with the ingenue and the evil clock. While it may not be the best horror film, it is hands down the best Amityville."
Good Story, Awful Overall Film Package

"I wonder if Fremantle Media is going for most consistently bad set of DVD Releases. The basic Story of this film is very loosely associated with the Amityville mythos; it actually dates back to the time of some sadistic "necromancer"( the screenplay got it wrong, what they meant is "Necrophage")... but if you watch the film, you will see. And a Clock that was owned by the Necromancer/Necrophage, moves house from Amityville to a place on the West Coast. The Evil of the Clock then tries to take over. The first half, or so, of the film is just abysmal, production wise, with the second half getting better, almost as if someone thought half way through shooting, "Oh, maybe we should check the dailies..?". There are more Boom Sticks visible than EVIL DEAD 3, and More Mikes than Waynes World. The Audio is sort of Stereo/2.1 but not quite. It only uses two channels. Seems like it would have been better to package it on a VCD. Do NOT pay more more than 5 dollars for this DVD. And AVOID Fremantle Media DVD's. It amazes me that the VHS version is better cropped, and has more visual quality than then the DVD. What on earth was Stephen Macht thinking !!!???!!!"
Surprises galore!

"What a suspensful flick this was! The story is interesting and quite complex. I have noticed that a lot of films kind of branch-off into different sub-plots, but this film doesn't, it has a main story. That makes it easy to follow. The characters were beleivable and that really adds to the horror. I must take away one star, simply because this film was a little to gross than it needed to be. For example, what was the disgusting and un-necessary deal with that guy who was "sinking" into the floor?"
