Amityville: Dollhouse

In the quiet suburb of Amityville, a fresh start feels almost tangible as Bill Martin finishes building his dream home for his growing family. The newly‑weds, Bill and Claire Martin, envision a peaceful life under the roof of their own hands, unaware that the plot they cultivated once cradled a notorious site of unspeakable tragedy. The house itself is a blend of modern comfort and lingering, unseen history, its rooms echoing with the ordinary sounds of family life—laughs, arguments, and the soft patter of children’s footsteps—while an undercurrent of unease whispers from the walls.

The Martin household is a portrait of ordinary domestic rhythm: Claire balances the demands of motherhood with her husband’s relentless work ethic, Bill wrestles with the pride and pressure of creating a safe haven, and their children—Jessica, Todd, and Jimmy—each navigate the joys and anxieties of a new environment. Visits from Marla and Tobias, relatives with an air of quiet curiosity, add layers of familial complexity, hinting at secrets that have long lain dormant. The family’s dynamic is warm yet fragile, a delicate dance of love, expectations, and the inevitable friction that arises when past shadows brush against present hopes.

Within this setting, the atmosphere thickens with a subtle dread, a feeling that the house carries more than bricks and timber. The lingering demonic forces hinted at in the town’s folklore stir an oppressive mood that colors everyday moments, turning ordinary rooms into spaces of whispered tension. As the Martins settle in, the sense of a hidden presence grows, inviting questions about the true cost of their new beginning and whether the comforts they have built can shield them from the darkness that has waited patiently on the very ground beneath their feet.
