Director Daniel Farrands just released the first ever trailer for his prequel story The Amityville Murders: A Haunting on Long Island, which stars Paul Ben-Victor, Lainie Kazan, Chelsea Ricketts, John Robinson, and Diane Franklin (who also starred in the original sequel, Amityville Horror II: The Possession).
In the new film, being sold by CineTel Films:
“On the night of November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo, Jr. took a high-powered rifle and murdered his entire family as they slept. At his trial, DeFeo claimed that “voices” in the house commanded him to kill. Thirteen months later, the Lutz family bought the house and stayed only 28 days before fleeing in terror.
“Their nightmarish ordeal shocked the world in The Amityville Horror. The Lutzes may have escaped from Amityville with their lives … but the DeFeo’s weren’t so lucky. This is their story.”
The Amityville Murders: A Haunting on Long Island tells the DeFeo’s story. Farrands not only penned Havenhurst but he’s the producer on Dimension’s Amityville: The Awakening, as well as The Haunting in Connecticut. Thanks to Mike M. for the hat tip.
