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.”
For the first time in thirty texts, an Amityville film has adopted an anthology format. Amityville Vampire (2021), written by Carlos Perez and Tim Vigil (who also directs) divides its 90-minute narrative into three chunks to tell two stories, a wrap-around, and a few stingers. The film isn’t wholly successful due to a variety of issues, but the multiplicity of shorter narratives circumvents the typical “padded” feel of some of the “franchise”s Dtv entries.
Former DJ and (somewhat?) reformed ladies’ man Johnny The Gent (Anthony DeArce) plans to propose to his girlfriend Fran (Miranda Melhado). He takes her on what she anticipates will be a romantic camping trip and, on the car ride, tells her two separate stories about the area...

If you’re familiar with Sterling Films then you’ll know what you’re getting into as soon as you see their name during the opening credits for Fangs Out (not to be confused with Fanged Up). For those that aren’t, it means a micro to no budget film shot in someone’s backyard with no production values to speak of. For fans of microbudget films, it doesn’t necessarily mean a bad film, but if you can’t deal with this level of DIY cinema you’ll want to find something else to watch.
For those that stick with it, Fangs Out follows four friends, Madison, Allana (Heidi Hemlock) and her boyfriend (Brian Easter Jr.) and Skylar as they head to Mexico for Spring Break.

Washington — An attorney for the Justice Department, seeking to show that At&T sought Time Warner as a way to preserve its lucrative pay-tv revenue stream, grilled an executive who once referred to the business as a “cash cow.”
But during Thursday’s testimony in the At&T-Time Warner antitrust trial, the company’s legal team highlighted how the executive, Gregory Manty, was far from the ranks of decision makers on the merger. He joined the company in 2014.
During his opening arguments in the trial last month, the Justice Department’s lead attorney said that they would show that At&T was buying Time Warner as a “weapon” to protect its pay-tv “cash cow” and slow the innovation in the industry. At&T owns DirecTV.
So it was not a surprise that the government called Manty, a director of corporate strategy at At&T, as an adverse witness.
On the stand,...
