In Amityville, Long Island, the Lutz family – George, Kathy, and their three children – find an unexpectedly cheap, beautiful Victorian house. Soon, they discover the house has a dark past that lingers. The family experiences a growing nightmare of frightening, inexplicable events: strange shadows, unsettling whispers. Each family member is individually tormented by disturbing visions that become increasingly violent.
