ACCURACY
Are the costumes historically accurate?
Yes. David C. Robinson, the costume director, directly used several outfits from the 70's to help give off a 1970's feel.
Are the setting and time period accurate?
Yes. The time period, despite being filmed in 2005, correctly displayed a 1970's time period. The setting was filmed in a setting very much like the original Amityville house, with a lake nearby and even a boathouse.
Are the events portrayed in the film true?
Yes and no. Some events line up very well with the original story, but there are many scenes that are placed in the movie that never happened. For example, George never killed the family dog and there was never a babysitter in the original tale.
