I saw the re-make last nigh at COEX and it wasn't bad. But seeing that it was 'based on true events' made me do a search of which I found the following:

There seems to be little doubt that one of the most famous American hauntings to ever be documented occurred in the quiet town of Amityville, New York, a peaceful enclave on Long Island��s south shore. There stands no other case from the latter part of the 20th Century that so captured the imagination of the general public... and no other case that filled us with such fear. Rest of the story

I did a report in high school about hauntings, and according to research, the house was definitely not haunted. Also, the claims made by the family were way off base with what a "normal" haunting entails.

The guy actually did kill his family in that house but the rest was made up.

The book was a fabrication. There are a number of good web sites that debunk the story and the internal inconstancies of the book.
