I was actually surprised when I saw Tonya Kay naked in The Amityville Terror. I don’t mean that I didn’t expect the mockbuster – the ten millionth one on the topic of The Amityville Horror – to have nude scenes. No, the nudity was very much expected, and in fact there was a whole lot less of it than I thought. The reason I was surprised is because I thought the main draw of the nude scenes would be Nicole Tompkins, who wears some pretty skimpy outfits but never gets nude (which incidentally is a trend throughout her career). I then expected to see Kim Nielsen nude in The Amityville Terror, but she too kept her no nudity policy going. There are a number of nude scenes from Amanda Barton, who is incidentally the film’s writer, and those are the only others.
Tonya Kay does have a pedigree for nude scenes, to be fair. I haven’t even seen any of these movies, but our friends at Mr Skin list Tonya Kay nude scenes in 2014’s Nightmare Code, Death Factory, and A Better Place, 2015’s Bastard, this movie, and 2017’s Paradise Club. That’s not even counting all of the ones that have slipped through the cracks, which is not difficult to do when you’re not quite at the level of fame as, say, Scarlett Johansson or Jennifer Lawrence. Seriously, can you imagine Scarlett’s nude debut in Under The Skin or Jennifer Lawrence’s bold nudity in Red Sparrow flying under the radar? Kimberley Nixon’s unintentional boob flash in Ordinary Lies, however…
So what’s the context for the Tonya Kay nude scene in The Amityville Terror? For starters, she’s not in it much, which is why I didn’t really expect her to fill one of the only two roles for boob actresses in the film. One of her few scenes is in the kitchen of a bar. She’s having sex with an employee while seated on a surface with her dress pulled down to expose her tits. She insists that the nameless, voiceless man that’s railing her keep on going while she discusses business with a third person. When the conversation sours, she pushes her boy toy off, gets up, and pulls her dress back up to cover her breasts, but not without hooking her nipple in the process, keeping it peeking for longer than was presumably intended (by the character, definitely not the director). So kick back, undo your trousers, and enjoy Tonya Kay naked in The Amityville Terror.
