The Amityville Horror (1979)
The Amityville Horror was a best seller book that advertised itself as a True Story which would take the world by the storm to become a media franchise that still lives today.
The basic history is that in 1974, Ronald DeFeo killed his family allegedly after hearing voices telling him to murder his family. One year later, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children move into the property where they experienced a haunting which would cause them to leave their house and personal belongs 28 days after moving in.
We discuss the DeFeo Murders, the Lutz Family and all things Amityville. We look at the book and film and our feelings of the haunting and the mass media storm that would define true life horror to the pinnacle of what it is today.

The Strangers (2008)
The Strangers written and directed by Bryan Bertino is tells the perceived safety of pastoral life and explores stranger on stranger violence. Taken its cue from the Manson murders of 1969 and a series of break-ins that occurred in his neighbourhood as a child, Bertino filmed a thriller that questions ones safety in their own home.
Starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman play the couple whom seem to have stepped out of an Ingmar Bergman film which ultimately branding the film as naturalistic domestic horror. It also gives a nod to undermining the notion that rural America is more dangerous that the suburbs and city living creating a provincial violence within the confines of its setting.
The film is loosely based on a true story which takes its nod from the Manson Tate Murders and The Keddie Cabin Murders of 1981. The sequel, The Strangers: Prey at Night will be released in March 2018.
