A New AMITYVILLE Movie Coming From BARBARIAN and HEART EYES Producers

Joseph and Vanessa Winter, the dynamic duo behind the viral 2022 hit Deadstream, are set to bring their unique horror sensibilities to a brand-new Amityville movie. This fresh take on the infamous haunted house story is being produced by the same powerhouse teams behind Barbarian and Heart Eyes.

Don’t expect the typical Amityville story here, though. While the 1979 Amityville Horror (and its subsequent sequels) is widely known for telling the story of the Lutz family and their terrifying experiences in a house steeped in supernatural lore, this new film won't follow that familiar script.

Instead, the Winters will offer up their own original twist, focusing on the real-life paranormal events behind the legends surrounding the infamous house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York.

This new film won’t touch on the notorious DeFeo murders or the Lutz family, which were central to the original Amityville Horror film and its inspiration. Instead, Amityville will explore the house itself, diving into the ghostly history tied to its dark reputation.

If you’re going to do another Amityville movie, this is the direction to take it. The film is set to offer an entirely different perspective on the location that has captivated the public's imagination for decades. According to Deadline, the movie will “offer a fresh look at the notorious Amityville house itself… with a legend situated in the public domain.”

The Winters’ debut feature, Deadstream, was a fun blend of horror and humor that earned praise for its inventive approach to found-footage filmmaking. If their work on Deadstream and their segment “To Hell and Back” from V/H/S/99 is any indication, fans can expect a creative and fun ride with their take on the Amityville legend.

With production aiming for late 2025, this film is already fast-tracked. Given the team’s talent, horror enthusiasts are eager to see how this reimagining of a classic will unfold.
