VIDEO – 3/5, AUDIO – 3/5

Lionsgate releases Amityville Uprising onto DVD and is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and looks fine, but the cheap production is on full display, including some bad explosion animation/effects while colors are extremely muted. The disc comes with a very basic Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Not a whole lot of depth here for the more action oriented scenes, in fact at times sounds a tad muffled, this goes for the poor sound design for the dialogue.
