The Amityville Horror

1979 · 1h 58m · Horror

IMDb 6.2 Metacritic 28 RT 33%

The Amityville Horror has all the hallmarks of a dated '70s horror flick that's lost its bite—critics and audiences alike agree it's more creaky mansion than creepy masterpiece. Unless you're a completist horror fan or nostalgic for unintentionally campy scares, skip it and watch something that actually delivers the chills.

Plot

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. However, their dream home is concealing a horrific past and soon each member of the Lutz family is plagued with increasingly strange and violent visions and impulses.
