The Amityville Horror (2005), directed by Andrew Douglas, is a remake of the 1979 horror classic inspired by the real-life Lutz family story. The film follows George (Ryan Reynolds) and Kathy Lutz (Melissa George), a couple who move into their dream home in Amityville, New York, with their three children. However, the suspiciously cheap house hides a dark secret: a gruesome history of murders that unleashes supernatural forces.

Soon after settling in, the Lutz family experiences eerie occurrences—mysterious noises, chilling shadows, and George’s increasingly aggressive behavior. With the help of a priest, they uncover the house’s possession by malevolent spirits. Ryan Reynolds delivers an intense performance, showcasing his character’s transformation from a loving husband to a terrifying figure.

The film excels in crafting a chilling atmosphere with dark cinematography and unsettling sound effects. Though the plot is straightforward, constant tension and effective jump-scares keep viewers on edge. Its 90-minute runtime feels tight, blending psychological horror with supernatural elements.

The Amityville Horror is a perfect pick for fans of haunted house tales. Ready to sleep with the lights on?
