Skyline Entertainment releases THE AMITYVILLE MURDERS to select theaters, VOD and digital HD February 8.

The synopsis: “On the night of November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo, Jr. took a high-powered rifle and murdered his entire family as they slept. At his trial, DeFeo claimed that ‘voices’ in the house commanded him to kill. This is their story.”
