Plot

The Amityville Horror (2005) tells the chilling story of the Lutz family, who move into their dream home in Amityville, Long Island, only to discover that it has a dark and troubled history. The house was once the site of a horrific mass murder, committed by Ronald DeFeo Jr., who brutally killed six members of his own family in 1974. The Lutz family, consisting of George (Ryan Reynolds), Kathy (Melissa George), and their three children, initially think they have found the perfect home. However, soon after moving in, strange and terrifying events begin to occur. The family is plagued by unexplained noises, doors slamming shut on their own, and eerie apparitions. As the supernatural occurrences escalate, George becomes increasingly withdrawn and isolated, struggling to cope with the nightmares and visions that haunt him. Kathy tries to keep the family together, but she too starts to experience strange and terrifying events, which further strains her relationship with George. As the Lutz family's grip on reality begins to slip, they are forced to confront the malevolent forces that inhabit their home. They soon discover that the house has a dark and troubled history, one that is deeply connected to the DeFeo murders. The Amityville Horror explores themes of family, faith, and the supernatural, weaving together elements of psychological horror and traditional scares. The film's atmospheric tension and jump-out-of-your-seat moments will keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they follow the Lutz family's desperate struggle for survival in their haunted home.
