    • Trivia
      The house in the film, as in the original The Amityville Horror (1979) movie, is not the actual house as depicted in the best-selling novel, as that dwelling was unavailable to shoot in for both films. The home in both movies was a Colonial style replica situated in Toms River, New Jersey.
    • Goofs
      (at around 33 mins) As Sonny is being chased by something unseen, the camera rises above him, and someone from the crew can be seen standing behind the wall in the bottom left corner.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Booth, the Lawyer: [at the Montelli trial] ... Your Honor, it is my intention to prove that Sonny Montelli is a victim of demonic possession - that is, possession by the Devil - and therefore innocent of the charges placed against him.

      Judge: Mr. Booth, I admire your originality. If I accept your plea, regardless of verdict, every courtroom in this country would be inundated with pleas of demonic possession. Nobody would be guilty of anything anymore. Quite literally, "The Devil made me do it." You have three days to submit another plea, Mr. Booth.

    • Alternate versions
      When shown on Fox, the film was heavily edited. The incest plot between Sonny and his sister was cut out. The shotgun murder scene was trimmed down and some profanity was removed.

    Better then the first movie
    I am not a huge fan of the Amityville Horror (1979), it was okay movie but not that scary, as it was made out to be.

    This movie starts of with a new family moving in to the house, a father and mother and four kids, two daughters and two sons.

    At first everything seem normal, until the strange things start to happen to younger two kids, as the house messed one room up but father dose not believe the kids and then he hits the poor kids, then eldest son, then point a shotgun at is father to make him stop what he doing.

    (I have never hated anyone, as much as I hated the father in this movie).

    Soon after Sonny the oldest of the sons, start to act a bit at strange and start to feel sick, then while the whole family is out, we see how becomes possessed by the house.

    Small spoiler, I liked the scenes, where we see Sonny get possessed by the house,

    when we see him screaming in pain, when he stomach he being press down by the unseen evil force, was really good scene, that was scary and really dark

    that is one the reason i liked this movie more then first and this is a lot more darker then first movie and the acting was outstanding from everyone

    I would have give this movie 10 but I find the ending, a tad boring and disappointing.

    so I am going to give this movie a 8 out of 10
