The Amityville Horror

A family's Long Island dream home becomes a horrific nightmare in this chilling tale, supposedly based on a true story. The brutal murder of six people just one year previous causes the new tenants (James Brolin and Margot Kidder) some restless nights, to say the least. Ooze comes out of the walls, doors mysteriously and violently swing open, and flies descend. Soon priests (including Rod Steiger) are called in to exorcise the house, but even they may not be able to stop the unexplained occurrences.

  • Sub-Exorcist goings on, a shameless exaggeration of some of the alleged facts retailed in the best-selling book. A shocker for the uncritical.

    How horrors should be

    A classic number this, evil voices,polterghiest activity, and blood leaking walls, and the unfortunate clergy. One of the best horrors of all time.

    What a movie !

    Good movie from the opening credits, starts off with a camera view outside the amityville house with creepy music in the background - then unfolding into the story of the new people moving into the house, who are unaware of what happened in the house 12 months prior to the date of them moving in with the children.

    Then the real horror unfolds as they try to settle in however finding it strange as some of the guests begin to feel ill as they enter the building and say they need to leave at once, not much longer is it before the Lutz family too move out of the house never to return.
