The ‘79 original is kind of a snooze, with moments and obviously it creates all the iconography.
II: The Possession (scripted by Tommy Lee Wallace) is genuinely effed up and well worth revisiting. The stuff they made director Damiani cut after the disastrous preview sounds truly upsetting and over the top. It’s very much more like an 80s Italian horror vibe than US horror of the time.
Mileage varies for most on 3: The Demon but I’m quite fond of it, especially in 3D.
ps. there are actually 23 films that trade off the Amityville name/source, mostly video productions, with 5 more in production. Most have a less than 3/10 rating on imdb, incidentally.

Rewatching the trilogy this weekend. No particular reason.
