Delving into the horrific history of the infamous Long Island haunted house, this prequel to 1979's popular
chiller The Amityville Horror is loosely based on the DeFeo murders but is at heart a straightforward
horror-
exploitation film with an
Exorcist twist. When the violently dysfunctional Montelli family moves into the rustic abode (claimed to have been built on an Indian burial ground), the standard haunted-house clichés (bleeding walls, swarms of flies, bubbling black goop) give way to a more direct demonic attack on the eldest son -- who develops an unhealthy interest in his nubile younger sister, followed by a much more lethal attraction to dad's shotgun. In a desperate attempt to purge the evil, the local priest tries to perform an exorcism...with unexpected results.

Great movie!
I really liked this movie, out of all the Amityville movies which there is 9 I think, this is the best one! I have all but number 5. It's also great because its based on true events so if you like possession type movies its one definitely worth watching. Probably my top favorite horror movies. It's so realistic, not like those other movies. Its actually scary without all the nasty gore you find in movies because over killing isn't scary, it's lack of creativity, this is scary and not just some imaginative story but based on true events. It makes you think outside the box. What if?
