Amityville Death House is a 2015 direct-to-video horror film. The film is based on the 1977 novel The Amityville Horror. The film follows the trend of films based on The Amityville Horror having little to nothing to do with the events in the book and only using the location and the DeFeo murders and the 112 Ocean Avenue house as a plot point. The film was directed by Mark Polonia, one of the Polonia brothers. The film uses a relatively unknown cast with the exception of Eric Roberts as "The Dark Lord".
When Tiffany and her friends arrive in the town of Amityville to check on her ailing grandmother, they discover an ancient witch's spirit possesses the old house. One by one the demon curse, empowered by the Dark Lord (Eric Roberts) destroys the descendants of those who condemned his servant to death over 300 years ago, ultimately possessing the bodies of the innocent, and transforming them into hideous creatures of destruction.
