George and Kathy are doing a house showing of the Amityville house with Mrs. Townsend. She shows them around and Kathy tells her that they just got married. They tell Mrs. Townsend that they want to look around some more and Kathy worries that they can't afford it, but George thinks they can manage if he moves his office into the guest house. Kathy brings up the Amityville murders, but George tells her that houses don't have memories. They then tell Mrs. Townsend that they'll buy it.
One month later, George, Kathy, Amy, Greg, and Matt move into the house. George suddenly starts to feel ill and says it is cold inside the house. George goes down into the basement and as Matt is walking down the basement stairs he trips and falls. While George and Kathy are having sex, Amy walks into their room and tells Kathy that she wants to go home. At 3:15 in the morning, George wakes up and hears noises in one of the rooms. He goes into the room and sees the dock door swinging open and shut and brings Harry with him to check on things. George returns to the house and a cat screeches at him through the window.
On the 4th day, which is a Thursday, Kathy comes home from the grocery store and finds George chopping firewood. Kathy tells him that Aunt Helena is stopping by which annoys George. Helena shows up right when a smelly black goo starts to boil up from the toilets. Matt and Greg let Helena into the house and then run outside to play. As Helena is walking through the house she tells Kathy that she has to leave. Helena then hurriedly drives off.
On the 5th night, George continues to stack fire in the fireplace. Kathy tries to get George to come to bed, but he tells her that the fire went out. They try to have sex, but George can't maintain an erection. At 3:15 in the morning, Kathy suddenly wakes up and screams "she was shot in the head" and then falls back to sleep.
On the 6th day, Jimmy notices that George looks sick, but George insists on going to the wedding. Jackie asks Kathy if she is supposed to give Amy an aspirin and Jimmy tells Kathy and George that he can't find his money. They can't find the money and George offers to pay Agucci. Agucci gives George the catering bill, but gets upset when George pays him with a check. George, Kathy and Matt and Greg drive home and George and Kathy rush to Amy's room when they hear Jackie calling for help. Jackie tells them that the door wouldn't open and then yells at Amy for not letting her out and Amy tells Kathy that Jody wouldn't let her open the door. Amy then tells Kathy that Jody doesn't like George.
On the 11th day, Jeff drives to the house. Jeff finds George, who is still cutting wood, and reminds him that he hasn't signed the payroll checks and Agucci has been complaining about a check that bounced and someone from the IRS called. The window slams on Greg's hand and George and Jeff have a hard time pushing thew window up. At 3:15 in the morning, George wakes up and goes downstairs and finds one of the rooms full of flies. The front door and basement door then suddenly crash open. George goes downstairs with Kathy and when he returns to the room, the flies are gone. Kathy calls the police and Sgt. Gionfriddo arrives. New York State Trooper introduces Sgt. Gionfriddo to Kathy and George as 2nd New York State Trooper walks by. George shows Giondfriddo the basement and finds Harry scratching at the wall. Gionfriddo notices none of the windows are open and tells George that he looks like the Amityville murderer. Gionfriddo then tells George that someone from the inside must have broken the doors from the outside.
On the 12th day, George goes to City Hall to get blueprints and then to the library and steals a book on the Occult. George goes to the Witches Brew Bar to meet Jeff and Jeff orders them beers from the Bartender. The Bartender drops their beers when he sees George and tells him that he looks like the Amityville killer. Jeff tells George that their business is falling apart and George punches him. George tells Jeff and Carolyn that the house is doing supernatural things. Carolyn, who was reading the book George stole, tells them that John Ketchum, who was run out of Salem for being a witch, built his house where George's house is. Jeff tells George to take Kathy out to dinner while he and Carolyn watch the kids. Kathy tells George that she saw Jody , but he thinks it was just a cat. Carolyn and Jeff sneak into the basement and Carolyn starts breaking down the wall. George hears the noise and Carolyn tells him that the evil is coming from behind the wall. Kathy goes down into the basement and George breaks the wall down and looks into a red brick room and sees an image similar to himself wearing robes. Carolyn stares into the room and yells to find the well, which is the passage to Hell. George grabs a cross and he and Kathy start trying to exorcise the house and Kathy suddenly develops boils.
On the 18th day, at 3:15 in the morning, George wakes up and asks the house what it wants from them.
On the 19th day, George yells that he is coming apart and Kathy asks him if he is okay. Kathy suggests they leave and George yells at her that she wanted the house. Kathy calls him a bastard and he slaps her in the face.
On the last night, George sees Jody in the window. He yells for Amy and blood starts to pour from the walls and stairs. Kathy brings Amy, Greg and Matt into the bathroom and George starts cutting through the door with an axe. Kathy attacks George and he throws her down and strikes the axe toward her. He tells her that he wouldn't hurt her and the boards erupt over the well. George and the others run out of the house and into George's van. They start to drive off, but Amy tells them that she wants Harry. George stops the van and goes back to get Harry. He goes into the basement and falls into the well. Harry then helps pull George from the well. They then leave the house, get into the van and George drives away.
Later, George, Kathy and their family never return to the house and now live in another state.
