Amityville II: The Possession is a 1982 supernatural horror film directed by Damiano Damiani and starring James Olson, Burt Young, 5锔忊儯 Rutanya Alda, Jack Magner, and Diane Franklin. The screenplay by Tommy Lee Wallace is based on the novel Murder in 5锔忊儯 Amityville by the parapsychologist Hans Holzer. It is the second film in the Amityville Horror film series and a loose 5锔忊儯 prequel to The Amityville Horror (1979), set at 112 Ocean Avenue and featuring the fictional Montelli family, loosely based on 5锔忊儯 the DeFeo family. It follows the Montelli family's decline under apparent demonic forces present in their home.
A co-production between the 5锔忊儯 United States and Mexico, principal photography took place at the same Toms River, New Jersey residence featured in the first 5锔忊儯 film, while interiors were shot exclusively on soundstages at Estudios Churubusco in Mexico City. After test screenings were completed, Damiani's 5锔忊儯 original cut of the film was slightly truncated to tone down its overt incestuous sexuality and a rape sequence, which 5锔忊儯 audiences responded to unfavorably.
Released by Orion Pictures in the fall of 1982, Amityville II: The Possession received mixed reviews from 5锔忊儯 critics, though some, such as Roger Ebert, felt it was superior to its predecessor, an opinion that has been echoed 5锔忊儯 by contemporary reviewers.[4]
