How was the plot contrived, at what stages?

I have lost all hope in humanity!!!!!

Amityville 3(D): The Demon

A promising first half, but some poorly rendered special effects and not a patch on the first two (or indeed some of the sequels).

It wouldnt have seemed as conrived if it hadnt tried to be believable. The fact that the shark always showed up at the perfect time and place was my major grievance with the plot. I mean, in a slasher movie or something, you can get away with that, but in a film that goes to the limits trying to be realistic? No thanks.

Keep in mind that I never said it was a BAD film. It did have it's moments [Frreding frenzy at the beach, Ending], however I found it boring for the most part and the failed attempts at reallism were bothersome.

I'm sure just a lot of the slashers you're referring to have tried to be as realistic as Jaws.

No, and I'm not trying to get in a debate with you because a) I like you and b) everyone's entitled to an opinion.

All I'm saying is maybe you should try it again in a lighter mood and you might enjoy it.
