George Lutz, his wife Kathy, and their three children have just moved into a beautiful, and improbably cheap, Dutch colonial mansion nestled in the sleepy coastal town of Amityville, Long Island. However, their dream home is concealing a horrific past and soon each member of the Lutz family is plagued with increasingly strange and violent visions and impulses.

Evil Ryan Reynolds is so hot I’m sorry.
I’m so shocked at the ratings for this. I found out it to be a solid 00s horror fare.
