THE NEW AMITYVILLE HORROR - Based on a true story
"Packed full of heart stopping moments and spine-chilling effects" Johnny Vaughan
The remake of the 1979 classic chiller, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Based on Jay Anson's best selling story, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR is one of the most horrifying haunted house stories ever told - because it actually happened.

From first time director Andrew Douglas, this scary film stars RYAN REYNOLDS (Blade: Trinity, Van Wilder) and MELISSA GEORGE (TV's Home and Away, TV's Alias, Down With Love) as George and Kathy Lutz from Long Island who move into a Dutch colonial in Amityville, only to learn that their dream house has a history. Excellent character actor Philip Baker Hall (Dogville, Magnolia) also stars.

On November 13, 1974, Suffolk County Police received a frantic phone call that led them to 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island. Inside they discovered a horrific crime scene: an entire family had been slaughtered in their beds. In the days that followed, Ronald DeFeo, Jr., confessed to shooting his parents and four siblings while they slept, claiming "voices" in the house forced him to commit the murders.

One year later, George (REYNOLDS) and Kathy Lutz (GEORGE) and their children moved into the house thinking they'd found their dream home. But shortly after settling in, bizarre and unexplainable events began to occur - nightmarish visions and haunting voices from an evil presence still lurking within the house.

Confused and frightened by her daughter Chelsea's interaction with an imaginary friend named Jodie, Kathy struggles to hold her family together as George's increasingly strange behaviour finds him spending days and nights in the basement. With lucid visions and evil voices swirling through George's head, the house comes alive in a spine-chilling climax.

Just 28 days after moving in, the terrified Lutz family fled the house, lucky to escape with their lives. The much anticipated DVD features exclusive interviews with key cast and crew plus a never before-seen Making Of featurette.

Background
The roots of the horrors experienced by the Lutz family at their Amityville home can be traced back to November 13, 1974.
On that fateful day, Ronald DeFeo Jr. committed the cold-blooded murder of six members of his family, gunning them down in their sleep. DeFeo, a drug addict, who hated his father, later blamed the massacre on the malevolent force of an evil spirit that was present in the house.

He stated that the creature began speaking to him and controlled him while he committed the murders. And while the house is located in a quiet neighborhood, situated close to other homes, neighbors never reported hearing any gunshots.
Ronald DeFeo Jr. was subsequently tried and convicted of six counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to 150 years in prison.

The Lutz family moved into the Amityville home on December 18, 1975, with Kathy's three children from a previous marriage. Almost from the moment that they occupied the house, the Lutz's noticed an unearthly presence in the place.

They began to hear mysterious noises that they could not account for. Locked windows and doors would inexplicably open and close, as if by invisible hands. George Lutz, a former Marine, claimed to hear the sound of a phantom brass band that would march back and forth through the house. When a Catholic priest entered the house, after agreeing to exorcize it, an eerie, disembodied voice told him to "get out."

In February 1976, the Lutz family abandoned their "dream" home, fearing for their lives. They then enlisted Ed and Lorraine Warren, expert "demonologists," to investigate the source of these inexplicable incidents. The Warrens visited the house, along with a professor from Duke University, and the president of the American Society for Psychic Research.

Ed went to the cellar, where he reportedly saw shadows along with thousands of pinpoints of light. The shadows then attempted to push him to the ground. His wife, Lorraine, went into one of the children's room, where she claimed to have a clairvoyant experience, which indicated that the room contained the same furniture as it had when the DeFeo girls were murdered. Apparently, the Lutz's had let their children sleep in the DeFeo children's deathbeds.

According to the Warren's account, the investigator from Duke University passed out from fright and two other investigators complained of heart palpitations. The Warrens left the home that day so shaken by the experience that they vowed never to return to the house again.

The Warrens subsequently discovered that the property where the house is located was once used as an insane asylum for Native Americans who were sick and dying. There had been an enclosure on the property, where the patients were housed.
Writer, Jay Anson, based his book on the Lutz's account of the events that occurred while they lived in the house. The book became a runaway bestseller, which led to the popular movie.
