Genre favourite The Amityville Horror on 4K UHD and Blu-ray in March

16 February 2024

The celebrated 1979 adaptation of the 'based on true story' novel by Jay Anson, The Amityville Horror, is coming to UHD and Blu-ray from 88 Films in March in a website exclusive edition.

When George and Kathy Lutz and their children move to Amityville, Long Island, they believe they have found the perfect family home. But the house has a shocking story and within its walls a demonic presence lies in wait that runs the Lutz's lives into a living nightmare. Their only hope is to get out before it's too late.

One of the most acclaimed horror films of the 1970s, director Stuart Rosenberg's (Cool Hand Luke) The Amityville Horror features powerhouse performances from James Brolin (Westworld), genre film icon Margot Kidder (Superman), Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night), and cult star Don Stroud (Django Unchained). With a chilling screenplay by Sandor Stern and an unnerving score by Lalo Schifrin (Mission: Impossible), 88 Films presents The Amityville Horror on UHD, stunningly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative.
