SYNOPSIS: Boy, you'd think that with a title like Amityville Dollhouse, the film would be really cheesy and really exciting. Well, it wasn't. True, the premise is horrible, but the dollhouse doesn't do much more than light up as weird things happen. I guess we couldn't have asked for much more.

In any case, this widower architect with a teenage boy and a younger girl remarries this hot woman with a creepy, nerdy boy of her own. The Brady Bunch they're not, because everyone seems to hate everyone else. But he's built them a nice house on the site of where another nice house burnt down, leaving only the eerie shed out back. In that shed, they find a beautiful dollhouse. Dad cleans it up and gives it to his daughter (since her real present got mysteriously run over -- in the garage -- by the parked car). Strange, deadly supernatural hijinx ensue, including several racy scenes where we're supposed to believe that the Evil is making the stepmom hot for her new stepson.

In the end, the family finds the source of the evil and attempts to destroy the dollhouse, only to end up destroying the REAL house as well (since whatever happens in one, happens in the other, you see). All in all, disappointing.

Acting Appropriately Stupid
Did I Kill It?
The Evil Wasp has come to life and is flying around. The son's going to smash it -- but he uses the hollow box, then he LIFTS it to see. Of course, he gets clobbered. You just can't teach these kids today -- everything's in one ear and out the other.

Directors
Director Claim to Fame
Steve White This is his only director's credit (go figure) but he Produced a lot...of crap. Okay, Devil's Advocate wasn't complete crap. 
Cast
Actor Character Claim to Fame
Robin Thomas Bill Martin NOT the frontman for Matchbox 20. Quite a few credits, many '90s TV, like Jake Lowenstein on "Murphy Brown," Prosecutor Burton Hawkins on "Matlock," Geoffrey Wells on "Who's the Boss?" and Paul Kellogg on "The Mommies." He is also Graham Winslow in the Murder 101 franchise. 
Starr Andreeff Claire Martin Jodi Hurtz in Dance of the Damned, Legs in Driving Me Crazy, and Misty in Men Seeking Women, she plays a lot of vampiresses for some reason. Her IMDb.com photo is just a literal star. 
Allen Cutler Todd Martin Doug on "Charmed" (the later series) and Casey Exstead on "The Division." 
Rachel Duncan Jessica Martin NOT the self-aware clone on "Orphan Black," but a child actress who played Mary Sue Torkelson on "The Torkelsons" and its spinoff "Almost Home." And, sadly, this. 
Jarrett Lennon Jimmy Martin Joey in '87's Dennis the Menace; Ludlow Tortelli (one of Carla's brood) on "Cheers;" Croyce on "Grounded for Life," and the uncredited voice of Lorenzo in Lorenzo's Oil
Franc Ross Tobias Ira on "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," he also held a lot of bit parts on sci-fi TV, including "ST: Enterprise," "Sliders," "Charmed," "Buffy," "Firefly," "Heroes," and others. 
Lenore Kasdorf Aunt Maria A veteran of the small screen, played in many soaps, cop dramas, and sci-fi programs. Perhaps best known as Caroline Wilson Lockridge on "Santa Barbara," was also Mrs. Rico in Starship Troopers and Beth Fox on "Coach." 
Lisa Robin Kelly Dana Laurie Forman on "That '70s Show." Tragically died in rehab at the age of 43.
