This is quite a bit better than the Amityville original in my opinion, which I feel was pretty lame as far as scares.
The special effects showed up in the 'possession" which was nice to see. The demonic force within Sonny was pretty creepy I may add. (Until the last scene when the demonic force was clawing its way out)...
This movie also deals with family dysfunction, abuse, and sin that could have left the viewer with the notion that the evil found them as easy targets, given their way of life.
The acting is pretty well done, barring a few weak scenes here and there. (Typical for horror movies).
For a movie made in 1982, the special effects are solid.
