Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe crew shot the scene with an overflowing bathtub for real, in an actual house's second-story bathroom. This proved to be ill-advised when, just after the shot was filmed, the soaked floor caved in and the tub fell all the way through down to the first floor.
- Goofs(at around 18 mins) Jacob cuts Peaches face with a glass shard to escape after she attacks him. In the next shot, the cut is gone.
- Quotes
Jacob Sterling: [to Dr. Stafford] High-tech technology. You've got to love it. Put 'er there, pal.
[the two shake hands]
Jacob Sterling: Good firm grip. Look, I just want to take a second here and let you know how much I appreciate you coming over and taking care of my family. God knows, I've been in no shape to do it. I owe you one, buddy. So, you're a doctor, right?
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Yeah. I'm a psychiatrist.
Jacob Sterling: A doctor. Sick is sick, right? Whether it's upstairs, or down in the basement.
[gestures to Leonard's robe]
Jacob Sterling: Did I tell you I went to med school? Almost.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Uh, no. You didn't.
Jacob Sterling: You bet. But I ended up studying drafting. Majored in architecture. And I build things. Lots of things. But sometimes, doc. I've gotta tell you. Don't think I'm weird. Sometimes I get the urge to tear them down. Just get a wrecking ball and level blocks and blocks of ranch style homes. You've got to experience a similar thing. You spend all day healing people. Making them feel better. You ever want to hurt them? Make them bleed? Balance the books? Clean the slate?
[Pulls out a pistol]
Jacob Sterling: Take a look at this puppy. It's a 'Walther P38K'. Actually quite old. Worth a lot. German construction. The SS used to carry these. Some of the Berlin police still carry these today, although they're actually being replaced by more sophisticated sidearms. It's a terrific piece of machinery. Incredibly accurate.
[racks the slide]
Jacob Sterling: Never jams. It's just a work of art to look at. But I guess its day has passed.
[holds the gun to his own temple]
Jacob Sterling: I'll tell you one thing, though. You turn this puppy on some asshole and you can slip your wrist through the hole it'd leave behind.
[turns the gun on Leonard]
Jacob Sterling: Are you fucking Andrea? *My* Andrea? Don't lie to me, you bastard fornicator.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: What are you TALKING ABOUT? Look, you guys have a relationship, and I'm not part of that!
Jacob Sterling: What about tonight? Are you *going* to fuck her? Here? In *my* house? Just across the hall from where *we* used to sleep together? You fucked her!
Dr. Leonard Stafford: No!
Jacob Sterling: Don't lie to me.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Okay, okay. Yes. I did it, okay?
Jacob Sterling: And what about after?
Dr. Leonard Stafford: What?
Jacob Sterling: Lisa. Are you going after my daughter?
Dr. Leonard Stafford: Never! I would NEVER!
Jacob Sterling: I can't let you do that. I've got to stop you. Right here. Right now.
Dr. Leonard Stafford: No! NO! NOOOO!

It's About Time otherwise known as Amityville 1992 begs the question what would happen if an item from the infamous house was relocated to another? The answer is a pretty bad movie will happen.
A man buys an antique clock that came from the Amityville house, before you know it strange things are happening and himself and other family members seem to have been possessed by something evil.
This did at least feel like an Amityville movie and reminded me a lot of Amityville: Dollhouse (1996) A passable watch for fans but as a standalone movie it's really not great.
The Good:
Amityville vibe
The Bad:
Another cheating antagonist
Pets getting killed in every damn horror film is overkill
Flawed confusing story
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Amityville is a major contender for the most butchered franchise in movie history
