The Amityville Horror 1979
Amityville Horror 1979
George Lutz is tormented by an unruly spirit that haunts the corridors of his new home and the convolutions of his mind. Director Stuart Rosenberg adapts the infamous novel concerning the Lutz family’s 28 days of paranormal experiences. But the real horror is not the metaphysical but the metaphor: the illusion of tranquility and the Church’s impotence in recognizing the deadly sin of domestic violence. This classic film relies on suspense and ambiguity as it builds towards a supernatural tempest, beginning and ending on a dark and stormy night. The film almost transcend the constraints of genre tropes but falls victim to its own devices: the denouement becomes a sticky morass of supernatural gibberish, offering cliched pronouncements of ancient Indian burial grounds and gates of Hell. But the film works in the first two acts, laying the groundwork for a seething patriarchal conflict as George inherits Kathy’s prefrabricated family and the baggage that come along with it. The mystical events are minimized and can be explained by the prosaic: It’s when people begin talking in tongues about the gates of Hell and George discovers the red room with its pit of gore that the yarn unravels. Lalo Schifrin’s score is the real star of this movie, evoking Bernard Herrmann’s raging PSYCHO strings, which adds to the thickly charged atmosphere.
