Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
Welcome back to a new year of The Amityville IP. With Amityville Scarecrow, this editorial series leaves behind the scant four “franchise” titles released in 2021 for the gargantuan ten titles released in 2022.
While Scarecrow is a similarly low budget production with some dodgy script decisions (courtesy of screenwriter Shannon Holiday), the emphasis on fractured family dynamics feels more in keeping with the early Amityville entries.
For no apparent reason, the film arbitrarily changes the mythology of the series. In Scarecrow, the Amityville murders were committed by “the Richards brothers,” not by Ronald DeFeo. After the family home was razed, a summer camp was built on the property, but the land became cursed.
When the film opens, adult sisters Tina and Mary (Amanda-Jade Tyler...

What’s that? Another Scott Jeffrey film getting reviewed on Nerdly… anyone would think we’re fanboys over here! Well, to be fair, I don’t see too many people trying to review each and every genre film Jeffrey puts out – mainly because there’s a lot of snobbish reviewers out there who, even if they love genre cinema, seem to give these ultra-low budget British films a short shrift. Not us. Well me I mean. No matter the subject matter, no matter the budget I typically find something interesting in each and every one of the films he’s worked on. And Bats, surprisingly, is no different.
I say surprisingly because Bats sees Jeffrey return to a trope...
