Amityville: Vanishing Point

Margaret East dies at the Amityville boarding house, triggering a mystery that unsettles the living. The house seems to breathe with warnings as whispers of a malevolent presence linger in the walls. The community senses something unseen has shifted, drawing attention to the dwelling and its secrets.

Hank Denton, a loud and abrasive detective, arrives to spearhead the investigation into Margaret's death. Sentinel Ernie shows quiet loyalty, supporting him even as the case unsettles the neighborhood. Aphrodite grants Denton permission to stay as strange phenomena begin to unfold.

The boarding house becomes a stage for something unseen, haunted by a malevolent demon and Margaret's ghost. Creaks, shadows, and warnings turn ordinary rooms into charged spaces. The living feel watched as the mystery deepens.

Denton experiences vivid dreams and hallucinatory moments that blur reality. He grows convinced that a cult operates out of the boarding house, fueling paranoia and impulsive conclusions without solid evidence.

Sentinel Ernie makes a tense move to seduce Denton, testing the detective's grip on his own impulses. Denton's violent outburst follows, revealing darker strains simmering beneath his rough exterior.

A battered Keith Hernandez baseball card sits in the room during the encounter, an eerie detail that underscores the house's strange atmosphere. The object becomes a small, unsettling symbol among the larger tensions.

Brigitta, Bermuda's lover, is pulled into a night-time errand that leads toward a cemetery. A gravedigger and another resident steer them toward a figure they mistake for Margaret, guiding their steps into darkness.

The group presses Brigitta to help conduct a séance, and Denton attends, drawn by the sense that the living and dead share the same space. Candles glow and whispers fill the air as ritual overtakes rumor.

Brigitta's dream pushes Bermuda toward the sealed basement to uncover hidden danger. She uses an Ace of spades as a key, seeking access to the room where secrets sleep.

In the basement, Bermuda confronts an eerie tableau and discovers Margaret's videotape detailing the house's protection and mentioning a group called 'the beautiful ones' per John B. Calhoun. The revelation hints at a deeper, almost cult-like history within the house.

Denton bursts into the basement, interrupts the tape, and drags Brigitta away from the revelation. The moment disrupts the fragile thread of truth that had begun to surface.

Bermuda endures terrifying visions—an automated hand and enormous insect-like legs—that assault her sense of reality. The house's strange power presses in from every corner, threatening to collapse her resolve.

Aphrodite's ghost terrifies Denton but ultimately saves Brigitta from further harm. The haunting's supernatural influence seems to protect those it chooses, bending circumstances around them.

In a moment of distress, Brigitta garrotes Denton while Aphrodite's ghost pins him down. Denton dies in the same place as Margaret, sealing his fate with the house and its dark purpose.

The film closes with Bermuda and Brigitta reuniting on a train crossing the Manhattan Bridge as the haunting lingers over their future. The scene blends dread with a stubborn glimmer of hope that they might move forward together.
