The Amityville Horror (2005)
What happened over the next 28 days has never been explained.
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.
In The Amityville Horror, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “haunted house”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing possession, trauma, religion, haunting.
