The Amityville Horror is a 2005 horror film, directed by Andrew Douglas. It is a remake of the original 1979 film, which itself was based on a 1977 novel that was ostensibly inspired by a real life mass murder in Long Island, New York. George (played by Reynolds) and Kathy (played by George) Lutz, along with their three children, move into what they believe will be their dream home; unaware that it previously belonged to the DeFeo family, and that Ronald DeFeo, Jr. had murdered his parents and siblings with a rifle the year before. DeFeo had claimed it was the "voices" that caused him to do it. It doesn't take long for the Lutz family to start hearing ghostly voices, and witnessing apparations, including the ghost of Jodie DeFeo. George is the most affected, and he eventually becomes a danger to those around him. The local priest is called in to bless the house, and he fails, warning Kathy to leave the house before it's too late. Tagline: Katch 'em, kill 'em |
