She reponds by treating him like a Fulci victim we don t see the gore and as he comes down the steps after her, she whac-a-moles him with a sledgehammer and then we get the squirting blood and some fun sound design. She worries that Billie s soul is trapped in the house, so he gives her a cross and starts going through the house and leaving symbols in chalk on the walls.
Each image is created using a unique technique that allows a two-dimensional picture to seemingly come to life in three dimensions.

This collection features a wide range of images, from landscapes and nature scenes to animals and abstract patterns.
The Amityville Curse
After purchasing a property in Amityville, New York, Debbie (stage veteran Dawna Wightman) and her husband (Hangfire’s David Stein) invite three of their closest friends to help renovate. Immediately uneasy in her new surroundings, Debbie begins experiencing shockingly vivid nightmares. Vague unease turns to outright terror when the home’s inhabitants discover its brutal past, and a mysterious visitor turns up dead. As the line between nightmare and reality disappears, their focus shifts from renovation to escape, but it’s not clear who can be trusted – or who will make it out alive.
One of the most overlooked entries in any major horror franchise, The Amityville Curse deviates from series formula, to surprising, amusing, and unsettling effect. Handsomely shot by Rodney Gibbons (My Bloody Valentine) and based on a novel by famed parapsychologist Hans Holzer – who also wrote the source material for Amityville II: The Possession – this inspired oddity is full of memorable horror flourishes and moments of jaw-dropping weirdness. With a lively ensemble that includes Kim Coates (Innocent Blood), Cassandra Gava (Conan the Barbarian), Helen Hughes (The Incubus), and Jan Rubes (Witness), The Amityville Curse is essential Canuxploitation viewing.

I was really disappointed with the "Magic Eye 25th Anniversary Collection". The images were blurry and difficult to see, even after following the instructions multiple times. I found myself straining my eyes and getting a headache without being able to see any 3D image. The collection also lacked variety, with many of the images looking repetitive and uninspiring. Overall, I do not recommend this collection for those looking for a fun and enjoyable 3D experience.
2. Emily - ★★☆☆☆
I have always been a fan of Magic Eye books, but the 25th Anniversary Collection left me feeling underwhelmed. The images in this collection were not as mesmerizing or captivating as previous editions. Most of the pictures seemed to lack depth, making it difficult to perceive any 3D effect. I also noticed that some of the images were poorly printed, leading to further frustration when trying to see the hidden image. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to this collection, but it fell short of my expectations.
3. Alex - ★☆☆☆☆
I found the "Magic Eye 25th Anniversary Collection" to be highly disappointing. The concept of hidden 3D images is fascinating, but this collection failed to deliver. The images were either too small or too intricate, making it practically impossible to see any 3D effect. Moreover, the image quality was subpar, resulting in blurry and distorted visuals. I struggled to find any enjoyment in this collection, and it definitely did not live up to the hype. I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this product.
4. Jessica - ★★☆☆☆
As an avid Magic Eye enthusiast, I was excited to get my hands on the 25th Anniversary Collection. However, I found it to be a letdown. The images lacked the complexity and depth that I had grown accustomed to in previous collections. It felt like the creators were trying to rush out a compilation without putting much effort into it. The magic of the hidden images was lost, and I didn't feel the same sense of wonder as I did with previous books. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and would not recommend this collection to fellow Magic Eye fans.
5. Michael - ★☆☆☆☆
I regret purchasing the "Magic Eye 25th Anniversary Collection". The images were extremely difficult to see, and even after spending considerable time trying, I had no luck perceiving any 3D effect. The instructions provided were confusing and not helpful in any way. Additionally, the book itself was of poor quality, with pages falling out after just a few uses. It's safe to say that this collection did not meet my expectations in any aspect. I recommend looking for other Magic Eye books instead.
