The Amityville Horror (1979) analysis



The film The Amityville Horror is based on a true story based around a haunted house that some brutal murders took place in 1975.

  • you first 30 seconds are filled with various shots of the amityville house, which tells the audience that the actual building is the main part of the film.
  • out in the yard of the house are 2 people playing in the sun, giving the start of the film quite a happy, cheery feel. This helps to lure the audience into a false sense of security.
  • This is followed by a scene in which a preist appears to be in the house, and there are flies everywhere. Flies in horror movies, particularly ghost films, are never a good sign.
