This film, though extremely creepy, is a prequel of sorts to the 1979 hit, "The Amityville Horror." It is loosely based on the 1974 mass murder of the Long Island family who resided in the infamous house. Knowing the true story behind the killings made this movie all the more creepy to sit through. It is, however, highly exploitative and totally absurd during the last act. Maybe one day, a film can capture the true story of this family, without having to resort to such nonsense. This film is indeed a slap in the face to the memory of the DeFeo family. It's a good thing they changed names to either protect the innocent or avoid countless lawsuits. Otherwise, this film is somewhat entertaining if you can separate yourself from the true story.
