Overview

George Lutz, his wife Kathy, and their three children have just moved into a beautiful, and improbably cheap, Victorian mansion nestled in the sleepy coastal town of Amityville, Long Island.

Viewing Notes

I have decided to watch all of the AMITYVILLE movies, of which there are many, and I had to start at the very beginning.

This is still a highly effective flick that you should watch with the sound up, the lights off and someone near.
