George and Kathleen Lutz knew that, one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his parents, brothers, and sisters in the house, but the property (complete with boathouse and swimming pool) and the price were too good to pass up.

In the quiet suburban calm of Amityville, a dream home becomes a waking nightmare when the Lutz family moves into a house with a history too bloody to stay buried. At first it’s small things—cold spots, strange smells, uneasy sleep—but the walls seem to breathe with something patient and hungry, tightening its grip night after night. As their faith, sanity, and family bonds begin to fracture, they realize the house isn’t just haunted—it’s actively turning them against each other, feeding on fear and weakness with every passing hour.

Based on a story that sparked decades of controversy and obsession, The Amityville Horror drags you into a place where home isn’t safe, evil feels personal, and getting out may be the most impossible thing of all.
