The Amityville Curse

Debbie is Marvin’s wife, a sensitive, intuition-driven presence who immediately senses a dark history within the house. She experiences persistent nightmares anchored in the basement and the confession booth, and she anchors the group’s psychic atmosphere by recording her dreams for analysis. As the hauntings escalate, she becomes increasingly decisive, ultimately confronting the possessed Frank and fighting to protect Abigail.

Marv is a clinical psychologist who tries to rationalize the hauntings and interprets Debbie’s dream diaries as part of a larger psychological puzzle. He is skeptical of supernatural explanations and pursues a rational approach to fear until the events overwhelm him. He is later found dead in the confession booth, illustrating how the house’s past can consume even the most analytical minds.

Frank is one of the renovation group’s friends who becomes violently possessed by the priest’s illegitimate son. He pursues Debbie through the house, and his initial vulnerability evolves into a deadly threat. Debbie ultimately stops him with a nail gun and a processional cross, impaling him.

Abigail is a close ally of Debbie who shares in the fear and determination to survive the haunting. She returns to the house after unsettling incidents and becomes a target when Frank’s possession escalates. She escapes with Debbie as police intervene.

Ben is one of the friends who helps with renovations and documents events with a video camcorder left behind in the house. His footage becomes crucial for later police work that identifies the perpetrator in Mrs Moriarty’s murder. He embodies the practical, curious aspect of the group.

Mrs. Moriarty is the eccentric former church secretary who encounters the haunting and is murdered in the house, a death captured on video. Her death underscores the house’s dangerous past and deepens the town’s supernatural mystery.
