The Amityville franchise has seen a wealth of sequels, spinoffs, and remakes, but in what order do the canon films go? The horror franchise was launched in 1979 with the release of The Amityville Horror, drawing its inspiration from the supposed true haunting of the Lutz family as chronicled in the book of the same name by Jay Anson. The original film was such a smash hit that it immediately garnered sequels, and the Amityville story grew increasingly outlandish with each installment.
Amityville II: The Possession While the order of the Amityville movies is somewhat unimportant to the individual installments, Amityville II: The Possession is actually a prequel to the original film. The Montelli family moves into a new home and soon is targeted by demonic forces that possess Sonny, the eldest child. Amityville II significantly picked up the pace from the original, and praise was given to its special effects and use of tension.
Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes Following the destruction of the Amityville house at the end of Amityville 3-D, the chronological order of the Amityville films becomes muddled, and Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes does not pick up where the third left off. Its story follows a woman who purchases a possessed lamp from the Amityville house and brings it with her as she moves to California. Amityville 4 is based on the fictional novel by John G.
Amityville: A New Generation Though The Amityville Horror's true horror story could barely be called true, the mythos of the Amityville films was stretched to their limit in this straight-to-video installment. Amityville: A New Generation concerns a man who is the son of a murderer from Amityville who is gifted with a possessed mirror from the notorious Amityville house.
