Back in 1982, Diane Franklin starred in Amityville II: The Possession as Ronald DeFeo’s sister. Now, over 35 years later, she is returning to that infamous house to star in The Amityville Murders, but this time she is playing his mom. Burt Young, who played her dad in the first film, also has a role in this film that comes out later this year.
If you don’t the story before there was there was The Amityville Horror about the Lutzes, there was Ronald DeFeo who murdered his whole family in that house just before they moved in. The 1982 movie was a loosely based on those murders and this film is actually telling that family’s story leading up to the fateful night November 13, 1974.
After watching the trailer below, I cannot wait to see it. It looks even scarier than all the documentaries based on the house and the paranormal that investigated it.
BTW Amityville 2 is on Tubi TV and you can watch it for free. If you do watch it, you will see that Franklin has not really aged a day since then.
