, a horror movie based on the infamous real-life story, has become a franchise and an influence on modern horror greats . But it has left a strange legacy.
Its basis comes from reality. In November of 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six family members in Amityville, Long Island, at a Dutch Colonial house. He was convicted of all six murders and died in prison in 2021. They fled the home after just 28 days. The family claimed they had been subject to paranormal activity during their time there, and felt terrorized by it. Author Jay Anson published a book on this in 1977, and the movie version would come two years later. It starred James Brolin and Margot Kidderas the Lutz’s.
A 2017 reboot of sorts titled Amityville: The Awakening had a cast that now looks decent on paper , but it too floundered. Not that Amityville was dead as a name in horror.
