How Amityville: Dollhouse scares

Amityville: Dollhouse leans on cheap haunted-house tricks rather than real dread, with creaky effects, sudden bangs, and a lot of shadowy hallway wandering. The pace is uneven, drifting through family drama before lurching into cheesy supernatural attacks. It's more goofy 90s B-movie than genuinely frightening, aimed at fans of the franchise who don't mind low budgets over real scares. Gore and violence show up now and then but never feel heavy or disturbing.
