The trailer for 'Amityville: An Origin Story' promises to tell the true story behind the infamous haunting.
In the world of legendary horror movies, there are few out there hold the same iconic status as 1979’s The Amityville Horror. Stuart Rosenberg’s on-screen adaptation of the accounts of one family’s dance with a sinister presence still holds a tight grip on modern pop culture with its basis being founded in the so-called “true” accounts of a family taunted and tortured by the ghosts of the past.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY MGM+'s brief, yet informative teaser, opens on the recognizable windows that greet visitors of what’s come to be known as the Amityville house. From the jump, viewers discover that this series won’t just focus on whether the Lutz family was telling the truth about what they encountered within the home’s walls but it will also tell the before-story about the horrific night when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his parents and four siblings.
Since the original movie, which was based on Jay Anson’s 1977 book of the same name, haunted its way into cinemas, the story turned into a juggernaut franchise that has spawned a series of films and books, as well as a Ryan Reynolds-led reboot in 2005. And, while MGM+’s Amityville: An Origin Story is promising its prospective audiences that it will sort out the truth from the fiction, it’s certainly not the first title claiming to do so.
In the end, we may never know what both DeFeo Jr. and the Lutz family experienced inside the walls of 112 Ocean Avenue, but with productions like Amityville: An Origin Story, we can get our fill of speculation. Check out the trailer below and catch the four-parter when it lands on MGM+ on April 23.
