Threw this on at a gathering after I was passed the remote - another episode of my reputation as the local Tubi guy. This takes so much from different Star Trek shows - blue suits reminiscent of Enterprise, a psychic crew member like in The Next Generation, and a plot straight out of The Animated Series. All topped off by a guy in a shiny silver suit that would make Corman go “okay that’s enough.” And everyone had a blast, which is the best reception you can get with this kind of film.

I had a headache and said “let me end the day with something simple” and the result was revisiting Mark Polonia’s 2021 sci-fi horror Amityville in Space.
Okay, for the hell of it: every time I say that title I want you to picture it as like the narration joke. Like this.
Amityville… IIIIN SPAAAAACE!
Got it? Good. I hope that was fun for you too.
I was ready to give this film a 2.5, that maybe I was wrong and this was actually underrated in the Polonia filmmaking catalog. Then it hit me; a fair amount of Amityville in Space is a lot of slightly dragging action. Dialogue here at least is fairly decent and the actors are - for once in their careers, it seems - perfectly cast for what they’re playing. Part of what really helps it score so high is the fact that they’re using CGI sets and effects that look passable and the sub-$10k budget. Sometimes that’s all you need. Some blue hoodies, a couple spray painted nerf guns, a guy in a suit pretending he’s a robot, and Jeff Kirkendall giving what is probably the best performance of his career making these. And honestly, sometimes that’s all you need. Passable for the b-movie crowd.

The first Polonia-directed film I’ve sat through.
I’m aware of his reputation and the kind of b-films he makes, but Amityville in Space is an interesting one in his filmography. I can’t help but shake the feeling that he wanted to make some sort of take on Star Trek but didn’t think the concept of “Polonia does Star Trek” was enough to carry the film for its short 74 minute runtime, so he added in the continuing Amityville saga he had been working on hoping to bring in more attention. Apparently this is a sequel, then, as actor Jeff Kirkendall’s character of Father Benna is a carryover from previous Amityville films; fortunately, no prior knowledge is required to be aware of this.
Polonia’s Star Trek horror film, though, relies heavily on the bare bones budget he seems to have a reputation for. The house in question is just a PNG file floating in space. The ship uses Macintosh computers. The special effects are mostly nonexistent or very basic. The actors sometimes sound like they’re reading the lines for the first time and it’s the only take they can use on top of a green screen that lets them be cut and pasted into other scenery. The soundtrack doesn’t fit at all. Their robot is a dude with a beer belly wearing a foil-like hoodie and a mirror mask. Appreciate the idea that the only way to get rid of a persistent monster is simply blowing it up, though, and I can’t deny I respect the grind Polonia puts himself on to make and execute these ridiculous concepts. Passable film for when you want something on as you dawdle around doing other things. So-so.

Half star for effort and half star for the cheesy attempt at special effects. Turned off.
