(Based on a true story)
(13 November 1974)
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
(CRIMES IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD)
What's up, Ronnie?
I love you, Jodie.
"Suffolk County Police. Can I help you?"
- "Everything is dead." - "What do you mean" all dead "?"
"A boy came up to the bar and told his mother and father were shot."
"I've handled many criminal cases. For the first time anything like this."
"Six family members were found dead last night ..."
"... in bed, shot and killed."
"The victim is a car dealer Ronald DeFeo ..."
"... a wife and four children."
"The survivors of the family's only 23-year-old man ..."
"...bernama Ronald "Sang Penjagal" Defeo Junior."
"Who says it has found the bodies."
"The police said that for security reasons, they have been detained."
"The five victims were found lying face down, shot in their beds."
"The sixth was found in a closet."
"Nobody makes a fuss when they are asleep. Bizarre."
"Suffolk County Police have arrested ..."
"... Ronald DeFeo Junior who was 23 years old."
"The defendant told police that he was listening to the voices ..."
"... coming from inside the house."
"Told him to kill his family."
(Deer Park, Long Island. ... One year later)
Gosh!
Fuck.
Hai, Michael.
Hi, dear. You okay?
George, what did you do to my mother?
There is no.
- Not yet. - You naughty.
Come, Small Men.
Come on, you can.
You're getting heavy now.
Did you ever meet my father?
No. Not a chance, mate.
What should I call you "Dad" now?
- Guess. - What?
- You can call me anything. - Anything?
- Ya -. Keren.
- Any. - Cool.
- Smell? Stupid? - Certain. Yes.
Gas monkey jerk?
Well, we have to define its limits. True, my friend?
All right.
- It's bad. - You're not kidding.
Billy.
Maybe we can buy something on the way to school.
- What do you think? - I'm not hungry.
- I can walk to school. - No, you can not.
Lower the legs of the chair.
Can I drop a few blocks ahead. There would be nothing to see.
Mom, I'm 12 years old.
Before you plan your graduation party ...
... we'll take you to school. This is an important day.
Why? You're going where?
- Mom, can help me? - Michael.
The houses here cost exceeds the limit, Kath.
No, according to this.
- As if it were real. - Think positive, babe.
I think positive that houses here cost exceeds the limit.
See, when we run a good business ...
- We're going to ... What? - Right there. There he is.
- See. - Dear.
412 Ocean Avenue.
- Exquisite. - What?
They are very friendly, honey.
They like it when they think they will be able to sell it.
Relax, Kath. Kathy. Katherine.
Or not.
- Hi. - I'm Katherine Lutz.
Just call me Edith. What is your husband?
- George. - This is incredible.
You're going to love it. Follow me.
Be careful with your step.
Gosh!
Sorry.
Let me show you around the house.
- It was a mistake. - Why?
What? No, I mean your ad in the newspaper.
It must be a misprint. I'm a contractor ...
... and I know the price of a place like this.
As well, you know, if this ...
If this is true, then this is a great opportunity.
So what's wrong with that?
- Come here. - I like this.
There is a vibrant history here.
- History thrilling, George. - In fact ...
... This house was built in 1962, including its basement space.
The rest was rebuilt by the foundation.
This is one of the oldest Dutch Colonial on Long Island.
Impressive.
This room is perfect for children, if you have any.
As well as the scenery ... Please see for yourself.
There was a boathouse.
All you need is now just a boat, right?
Actually, George has a speedboat.
This place seems to be made for you.
Then this basement space.
As you can see, this is very broad.
It could be a playroom.
Okay, let's see.
I'll wait here.
Yes, it looks like a basement room.
So, how do you think?
I think you're very pretty with that skirt.
Stop it. Come on.
Yes. OK.
This is very valuable. It is worth for the rich.
OK. Look, if we take it, we do not have anything for a year.
We deserve it, George. You deserve it.
How many times have you told me that you have been working very hard.
Perhaps this day, everything will pay off.
- We must sacrifice. - Great Sacrifice.
Yes, I understand that.
Listen, sweetheart. This is the life we ​​want.
- Are we happy? - Yes, we are happy.
She was happy, I was broke.
Wait.
Listen, I want to ask. What is the problem?
There is always a problem.
There is a tragedy, a crime ...
- A murder. - Sorry, what?
In this house?
Some people. A family.
But you know, we all have forgotten.
It's just a past event.
The house is fine. Really.
What would not be strange if we buy this house, honey?
But the house can not kill anyone.
People who kill people.
Excuse me a moment.
Do you think we will be able to fix it?
Do you know?
If you want, we will be able to fix it.
- Is it true? - I'm going to fix the basement space.
Then you can sell one of our children.
- Hey. - The small one.
(Day 1)
We're rich!
Rich something. Not money.
Wait.
- Did you read your prayer? - Yes, twice.
- What is your prayer? - If I say ...
... it will not come true, Mom.
Why did you not tell me the truth?
- What? - Pray not be good.
William.
Nobody answered me when I asked for my father back to life.
Do not say that.
Sometimes things happen in life can not be explained, Billy.
Billy, look at Mom.
Mom wants you give a chance on George, huh?
You do not be unfaithful to my father if you love George.
He did not expect anything but just want to be your friend.
As well might one day be more than friends.
Nobody can replace your father, dear.
- For Mother? - Yes.
- What about Billy? - He'll be fine.
The first call.
Lutz residence, how can I help you?
"Can I talk to my daughter?"
Yes, of course. He's here. All right.
Your mother should stop menyemprotku. Really. It's embarrassing.
"Halo?"
- Hei, Bu. - "Hai."
No, we all have been moved.
- Yes, mom. - Do you feel cold?
No, ma'am.
Ya.
- what's up, baby? - It's fine.
- Are you okay, honey? - Not.
I do not feel good.
- Give Mom a kiss. - I can do it.
No, you can not.
Come here.
Honey, I'll make you some tea.
How many siblings do you have?
- Chelsea? - Hi, Mom.
Hi, dear. You're talking to?
A girl who lives in the closet.
- Is it true? What is his name? - Jodie.
You know, a lot of other little girls who can you invite to play here.
I know, but Jodie says that they are the best.
What's Jodie?
Not. It was someone else.
- Who? - I do not want to say it.
Jodie says he's an asshole.
You can not just say the words.
George!
- Look what I found. - What is that? Where did you find it?
Harry and I found it.
- Where? - In the basement space.
Not in the basement room. My office.
Listen to me. You should not be down there.
You understand?
Everything, can you help me carry this stuff?
Go. Help your mother.
Forgive me.
Go.
- How do you feel? - Well.
I find a babysitter on a billboard at the grocery store.
Billy would have liked it.
What if we call it "adult child caregivers"?
Where's Chelsea?
Chelsea?
Chelsea? Chelsea!
Chelsea. Hey, give your hand.
Give me your hand, sweetie.
- Chelsea, go to George. - Come on, honey. Give me your hands.
What do you think? You can fall into the water.
Jodie wanted to see the boat.
Someone has to keep an eye on.
Billy, get up.
Billy, I want to pee.
Chelsea.
Hell, Harry.
Seriously, what are you trying to kill me?
Come on, get away from there.
Hey, enough!
Hei!
George? Honey, what are you doing down here?
It's the only place that is warm in this damn house.
Someone always open the window.
What is that?
I have no idea.
- Let's go back to bed. - No, I can not sleep.
I am sorry, dear.
Do not...
Do not talk to me like I'm one of your kids, huh?
- What? - Dogs that jerk awake.
The dog Billy.
I found it in the boathouse.
- But you locked it. - Yes.
As well as guess what I found in Billy's room.
(Day 15)
Are you ready to talk about the key?
Not much in this world that can be solved only with the apology, Billy.
I do not apologize for what not to do, George.
Go back to work, my friend.
"Go back to work, my friend."
"Catch them ..."
(CAPTURE AND KILL THEM)
George?
George, what are you doing down there?
George?
What? What is wrong?
Did you do something with magnets?
No, I just saw something, I guess.
- You look scary. - You're more disgusting, Tn. Lutz.
- Where's the nanny? - Caregiver?
I told you I do not need a nanny.
- I'm old enough. - Honey, I know you can ...
I will not let her watch us. He can not enter. Will not.
- He can not enter. - Billy, listen to me.
- Mom can not leave you alone. - I never thought guardians called.
- I told you I'm an adult. - Hi.
- I'm Lisa, the babysitter. - Good.
- Can I keep on your coat? - OK.
Is.
I'm Billy.
Are you sure you do not want a nanny?
Want I brought around?
No need.
I already know. I've been taking care of the DeFeo family.
A little strange I could come back here again.
- I'm Billy. - Yes, I remember you.
Good night, Billy.
(Chicken Italian Restaurant)
This is what we want, is not it?
Yes. So true.
Are you okay?
Do you know? I feel better.
I guess I just wanted to get out of the house.
Let's get a drink.
Are you trying to get me drunk, Mr. Lutz?
It was a request to get married, dear.
Hopefully I do not have to do it.
Hold on.
Hungry?
Kid, you read my mind.
Children. They will pass through difficult times.
I think they will adapt to everything.
Yes, indeed.
Do you feel different?
- What do you mean? - About Us.
About me.
Yeah, right.
I felt for the first time in my life ...
... I feel sure of anything.
It is you.
I will spend the rest of my life to make you happy.
You know how to evoke the charm of Lutz.
Some say if the tongue is false.
I think everything in him.
I get this from Pinball game.
Cool.
Are you French people?
- I'm what? - The kiss, the tongue.
Not.
- What about the DeFeo family know? - On who?
The family that lived here before you.
Not. We just moved here.
But you know what happened to them, do you?
Not.
I should not tell him about this.
Parents will be angry.
It's fine.
Stop. Not how to play.
- I can not hear you. - Stop. Let me try.
You're going to scare him.
This is crazy, Ronnie, people who live here.
People in town say he heard voices telling him to do so.
He was crazy. I mean, first she thought ...
... dog out to attack him. So he killed her.
A few days later, he thinks his family is a bunch of demons.
So you know what he did? Kill them.
How does he do it?
Do what?
You're too young to listen to this.
So shut your ears.
And do not listen.
With a shotgun.
He entered each room, opened fire on their heads ...
... when you're asleep.
He killed his brother in this room.
Here.
In this bed.
Bit disgusting if you still sleep here.
Actually, it's really crazy.
Ya.
I'm scaring you, son.
I'm a lousy babysitter.
The first room with her sister.
Kamar Jodie.
You know, they found there.
Jodie says you're a lousy babysitter.
Yes? Yes, Jodie ... What did he say? Die?
- Not. - Children damn me fired.
You would not dare to go in there.
You're going to give KISS poster if I do it?
All right.
You're going to make him angry.
Come on, man.
Friends, this is not funny. Billy, Michael.
It is not open. I can not open it.
- Open this damn door! - The door was unlocked!
This is very funny. Let me out!
Billy, Michael!
Let me out! Get me out of here!
Get me out of here!
- What happened? - Let me out!
Is Lisa.
Look what Ronnie did.
Let me out!
Get me out of here!
Let me out!
Help me. Get me out of here!
I see Jodie.
- Who's Jodie? - The little girl.
He is died.
He should be dead.
- It must be a joke. - We're not kidding.
- Somebody hurt him. - We did not hurt anyone.
- This house which hurt him. - Shut up!
- George. - I have to control it.
You do not have to control it.
What you did was wrong.
Stop it, Kathy.
Whatever you do or say will not work.
From now on, I'm applying the rules in this house. Point.
- This house is bad, Mom. - Michael, I'm sorry ...
There are no bad houses. There are only bad people.
Why do not you tell us about the people who died here?
- Where did you hear it? - Caregivers have told me.
Two small children died in our room.
Nanny stupid.
Go back to sleep. We'll finish this tomorrow.
No, I'm not going to sleep in that room. Disgusting.
- Me too. - Forget all that shadow ...
... and go back to sleep.
Fast.
Why do a lot of shouting, Mother?
Do not have. It's over now, baby.
Mom wants you to tell me what happened with Lisa, honey.
Lisa has offended Jodie. So Jodie harm.
- Jodie? - It's okay, Mom.
Jodie will not hurt you.
She thinks you're a good mother.
But the man who lives here, Jodie says she was evil.
Jodie wanted him out of here.
He will make Jodie doing evil.
Move from here to there.
Come on!
Billy, do not come in until you're done.
What?
What these rules or punishment?
I think it is a healthy food.
When the body suffers, the soul burning passion.
That's what my father taught me.
Her father is no longer here to teach him now, right?
Billy, why is George jerk?
He's not a jerk. He was stupid.
Also strange.
As well as pedantic and annoying.
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
"Catch them. Kill them."
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
Kill them.
- Not! - Look at me.
- Not! - What happened?
- Dear! This is me. - yikes!
- This is me. - yikes!
Unfortunately, no nothing.
Do you use drugs, Tn. Lutz?
Not. But after this week, I want to use it.
Suffer from headaches, motion sickness?
Actually, I feel fine now.
Sounds strange.
There was no sign of a concussion. There was no sign of bruising at all.
I want you to contact dr. Stone.
Wait. He's a psychiatrist.
- Do I look crazy to you? - I do not want to offend you.
I'm just trying to find solutions to your problem.
I think this is all my fault, George.
- Kath. - I who wants it.
- I'm too much pressure you. - Hey.
This is the life that also I want, understand?
We get the old-fashioned American dream here, understand?
Understand? Nobody will let useless from now.
I love you, George.
Billy, can I take my teddy?
He was very hungry.
OK. Come on, hurry up.
If the mother knows I do not take care of you, he will kill me.
Hi, Mom. Look at me, Mom.
Hi, Mom.
- yikes! Chelsea! - Chelsea, do not move!
Just sit!
Chelsea!
Hold the ladder!
Honey, stay there!
Chelsea!
- Chelsea. - Goddamn it, Chelsea.
Which way? To which way did they go?
To the left!
Chelsea.
What are you doing up?
I have to go with Jodie, Mom.
Dear. Come to Mother.
Not!
George!
- Hold on! - Fast!
George!
George, please. Gosh, I'm slipping!
George!
Chelsea.
What are you ... Why did you do it?
- Forgive me. - You can not do that to my mother.
Jodie wanted to show me something.
There is no Jodie, understand?
- There is! - There is no!
- You've got to stop this! - Jodie's real.
- Jodie's real. He's ... - He's not real!
Liar!
I've seen it.
He wanted to show me father.
I just want to see my father.
Jodie promised to take me to my father.
She says I can stay here so we can play together ...
...forever.
- What do you miss your father? - Yes.
- Did you miss your father? - Yes.
I know you miss your father, dear.
But no one else can see it because he's in heaven.
Together with the angels.
He's with the angels.
Mother was so scared.
What's wrong with you guys?
Strange family.
Father Callaway?
Father.
- I'm Kathy Lutz. - Hello.
Do you have time?
It's about my family.
We have changed. This ...
It feels like we started to separate.
I do not understand.
There is something...
There is a devil in my home.
I know this sounds crazy, I know it.
I'll think I'm crazy.
I do not know where else to go.
There used to be a family ...
... who lived in the house some time ago.
They had the same problem.
DeFeo family.
You know about them?
I stayed in their homes.
Now, hold briefly.
Because if you falter, I too will falter.
Come on!
Did you cry?
Why are you crying? It was not so bad.
Take another timber.
Hurry, grab the other timber.
Hurry!
Put your hand there.
- No. - Place ...
We are friend. We're having fun, right?
Put your hand there.
Come on!
Come here, little girl.
You're favorite girl's mother.
"Catch them. Kill them."
George.
I think there's something really wrong here.
Something is not right.
What is not true?
We have to get out of here. Go now. Pack up and go.
Not.
No, you can not go away from your problems, Kath.
Please. Let's go, George.
- To somewhere. Anywhere. - Did you hear it?
You hear a snapping sound it? I have to fix it.
Because you know, this house is great.
The major project, Kath.
You can not just leave it.
How can you be so stupid?
What?
All that we have in this house. Everything.
I do not care about the money jerk us.
Our money.
George, we have lost each other.
Have not you noticed?
We live here, have a home for our family.
But there would not be a family.
It's always cold here.
Can you leave hearth and divert your attention to me?
I'm not going anywhere. So also with you!
So shut up!
Shut up! Fuck.
You're the one who wanted this godforsaken house.
Now you've got it.
Mother!
Dream house.
What's up, baby?
We could not find Harry anywhere. He disappeares.
Mother will help look, honey.
You see Harry, George?
No, I do not see, Billy.
Maybe she ran off.
Harry had never run away, George.
What's wrong with you, William?
Get out of here now.
- Now! - OK. Come on, Michael.
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- Hello? - What is your mother at home?
Wait a minute.
Mom, there's someone at the door.
Who is he, honey?
Come in, Father.
It will sound strange.
But did you know that one-eyed doll that held your son?
Doll that belonged to the little girl who used to live here before you.
Yes, the doll was left here.
No, Ny. Lutz, the doll was left here.
Father, what exactly you want to tell me?
I'm very familiar with the DeFeo family. I was the one who led their funeral.
Jodie DeFeo buried with that doll.
Yes, my Father.
God Almighty.
We ask thee to bless ...
... and sanctify this house.
Bless all who live here.
Fruit and give abundance of what belongs to them.
"Come out!"
Father!
Why did you leave us?
What happened?
No problem. I am here.
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
Hell, Harry!
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
"Arrest them."
(Day 28)
"There's a crime scene. A murder."
"You know, people have forgotten it."
"It's just a past event. The house was fine."
We'll cover shortly.
"The voice told him to do so."
"She had just moved into the basement."
"28 days later, he killed them all."
Gosh.
"Pendeta Jeremiah Ketcham."
"He began his mission to the Indian."
"He slaughtered them all."
"More than 20 bodies have been found in the lake."
"Arrest them."
"Kill them."
Father.
Why did you go from my house?
Why are you avoiding us?
Scare your house, Ny. Lutz.
I just read about this man, Ketcham.
Who tortured Indians on my land. In the basement of my room.
I read how he slit his throat ...
... so that his presence in this world of eternal life.
Do you believe this is real?
Ronnie Defeo came to me a few weeks before the murder.
She said that she was listening to the sounds ...
... and saw something in that house.
I do not believe it, until yesterday.
. Lutz.
Quickly bring the whole family out of the house now.
- Halo? - "George."
"George, I've just met Father Callaway."
"Look, we should immediately take the children out of the house."
"George?"
"Are you there? George?"
Billy! Michael! Where's George?
He's in the boathouse.
George, we have to get out of this house right now.
George!
Are you crazy, George? Are you mad?
You're trying to kill me.
- Chelsea! - Mother!
I'm down here, Mother!
Chelsea, honey. What are you doing down here?
I think he misses his father.
Is not that so?
Restore my daughter!
I want to talk to you. Wait. I want to talk to you!
Kids, get down here, now!
Kids, get down here!
- Billy, help push this Mother! - Mom going?
Billy!
- Fast! - Billy!
Why are you wet?
Mother!
Come on, Mom!
Quick!
Billy, come here!
Run! Come on!
- You're stuck! - Stay here!
Nice!
Remove the mother, Dammit! Release him now! Let go!
- What is your problem? - Let's go.
These kids are out of control.
- Mom, it's jammed! - It can not be opened!
Where's Chelsea? Chelsea!
- Quick, Billy. Fast. - Come on! Do not be noisy.
Billy!
Mom wants you to survive as strong.
Jump, baby.
Come on, dear.
- Come on, Michael. - No, Mom.
Quickly Darling. Come on.
Come on, Michael.
- Come on, quickly. - Let's get out of here.
- Come here! - No.
Do not disturb him.
"Kill them."
Do not hurt him!
Come back!
"Kill them."
Hurry! Get me some rope.
"Kill them."
Kathy, kill me!
Kill me, or I'll kill you!
No one will die today.
All right. Put him in the boat.
Why do we have to take him? Leave him here.
Mothers can not explain right now. We have to keep him away from this house.
Do not look at it, Kathy.
Let's go from here.
(After 28 days, the Lutz family went from Amityville.)
(They never regained their stuff.)
