The Amityville Playhouse (also known as The Amityville Legacy and Amityville Theater) is a 2015 horror film and the 13th film based on the 1977 novel The Amityville Horror.

It had a limited theatrical release and was released on DVD in the UK on the 13th of April 2015 with a US release on June the 23rd 2015. The film was directed by John R. Walker and co-written with Steve Hardy.[1][2][3]
Plot
Following the tragic death of her parents, Fawn Harriman had counted herself lucky the day she inherited a disused playhouse in the small town of Amityville. With her sights set on a new life in the playhouse, she invites a group of friends to join her there for a weekend adventure that will ultimately lead them into the terrifying clutches of an ancient pact between the myserious locals and a malignant presence from the very bowels of hell. As the stranglehold of evil grows ever tighter, Fawn's teacher races to Amityville in a desperate attempt to rescue the imperilled party, and put an end to the town's terrifying legacy once and for all.[4]
