What happens

The Amityville Haunting is a 2011 direct-to-video horror film released on December 13, 2011. The film is inspired by Jay Anson's 1977 book The Amityville Horror. It was produced by The Asylum and Taut Productions. The film is written and directed by Geoff Meed and features Tyler Shamy, Devin Clark, and Jon Kondelik. The tagline is "The family did not survive. But the recordings did." It claims to be based on "actual found footage that documents the horrifying experiences of a family that moved into the infamous haunted house." The film was panned by critics, and has been often cited as one of the worst horror films ever made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
