Charlie and Buzi are ghosts’ enthusiasts fascinated by the legend of the scariest road in America, Mt. Misery Road. The couple continues their adventure to the woods until they realize they got into the whirlpool of paranormal activities.

Do not be fooled by the title or the comparisons to The Blair Witch Project; this movie has nothing to do with Amityville nor is close to being decent in the found-footage genre. It’s a mockery to the independent film developers that have worked so hard to be taken earnestly into consideration.

The movie is dull and I couldn’t take it seriously. It’s hilarious to watch such a cheesy film that considers itself a good film. Therefore, I couldn’t write a serious review about it. I invite you to enjoy or hate whatever comes ahead; you’ve been warned.

Amityville: Mt. Misery Road (2019) tells the loving story of Charlie (Chuck Morrongiello), a sugar daddy, and Buzi (Karolina Morrongiello), a blonde girl that knows how to do Google searches, planning for months in advance, even if it seems like it only took them a day to work it out, a trip to the town of Huntington, not Amityville, in Long Island, NY. Once they embark themselves into the hauntingly greatest adventure of all time, we get to follow them around for 40 minutes and see how they eat, sleep, dance, pee on the toilet, get warned by two strangers to cancel their trip to Huntington, ignore all safety concerns, and finally walk around the calming woods during a beautiful winter afternoon.

Amityville: Mt. Misery Road showcases two up and coming actors that I’m sure we’ll be hearing more from them soon because they are superb. I’ve never seen anyone describe their actions and emotions better than the Kardashian family in their own reality TV show; this movie takes the throne for it. There is a specific scene with Buzi describing photos she has recently seen on a search engine: she sees a black profiled creature with red glowing eyes because it “looks like a beast. Like a black creature with red eyes glowing”.  It’s amazing. The acting was as good as an early 2000’s softcore porn film, and even some times the scenes and camera angles looked like it was going that way. Disappointingly, you can watch this film with your kids.

This brings me to mention that the film has a wonderfully improvised screenplay. It goes very well with a song specially written for the film by the director himself. It’s called the “Buzi Song”, and it has an impressive hook that sings “Buzi has a nice booty” while Buzi is seen shaking it around in the corner of a bar while having a few drinks with her boyfriend before dinner, but their evening is interrupted by the presence of a stranger that warns them not to go to Mt. Misery Road. I’m so sorry for the spoiler.

As for the special effects, the most budget-compelling scene that you’ll get is the appearance of the drawing of a ghost that haunts Buzi in one of her exclusively recorded dream sequences; no wonder the budget was so high. Even if the film seems to duel into the found-footage genre, it actually goes beyond when it shows us sequences that are impossible to make sense of. It’ll make you wonder if there was a third person with them. It’s so Twilight Zone!

Amityville: Mt. Misery Road will sure give you the opportunity to dispose of the time you’ve been meaning to waste. And, I shouldn’t give any spoilers but, keep watching after the credits for a surprise scene that details nothing related to the half-baked potato plot.
