- Synopsis
- On November 14, 1974, police received a frantic phone call that led them to a nightmarish crime scene at the Defeo residence in Amityville, Long Island - an entire family had been slaughtered in their beds. In the days that followed, Ronald Defeo confessed to methodically shooting his parents and four siblings while they slept, claiming "voices" in the house drove him to commit the grisly murders. One year later, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house thinking it would be their dream home. But shortly after settling in, bizarre and unexplainable events began to occur to the family as George was plagued by nightmarish visions and haunting voices from the evil presence still lurking within the residence.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Shorter and punchier but nearly as hokey as the original."
-
"The remake simply replaces the laughably dated horror tropes of the 1979 version with a commercial-slick J-horror aesthetic that's sure to look just as silly to audiences in another 15 years."
-
"A Xerox so tattered and faded that it's impossible to determine who's to blame for the overproduced mediocrity before our eyes."
-
"'The Amityville Horror' fails as a movie, but, if you are searching for are a few good scares, you'll find them here."
-
"It's such a skillfully made entertainment that its plunge into the supernatural is persuasive even for the skeptical."
