Being
that I never cared for the 1979 version of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, in a
rare move for me, I’m actually looking forward to the upcoming remake of the
same name.
This new rendition of this supposedly “true story” stars
Ryan Reynolds (Blade 3) and Melissa George (the hottie on the right). The flick
is directed by Andrew Douglas and is set to be released April 15 2005.
Here’s an an edited transcript (sent to me by MGM) of the actual 911 call
made to Suffolk County Police upon discovery of the DeFeo family murders on
November 13, 1974:
911: “Suffolk County Police. May I help you?”
Man: “We have a shooting here. Uh, DeFeo.”
911: “Sir, what is your name?”
Man: “Joey Yeswit.”
911:
“Okay, where are you calling from?”
Man: “Right off, uh, Ocean Avenue in Amityville.”
911: “What’s the problem, sir?”
Man: “It’s a shooting!”
911: “There’s a shooting. Anybody hurt?”
Man: “Yeah, it’s uh, uh – everybody’s dead”
911: “What do you mean everybody’s dead.”
Man: “I don’t know what happened. Kid came running in the bar. He says everybody
in the family was killed.”
911: “Hold on a second, sir.”
[An officer takes over the call.]
Officer: “Okay, tell me what’s wrong.”
Man: “I don’t know. Guy come running in the bar and said his mother and father
are shot. We ran down to his house and everybody in the house is shot.”
Officer: “Where’re you calling from? Public phone?”
Man: “No, I’m calling right from the house.”
Officer: “You’re at the house itself?”
Man: “Yeah.”
Officer: “How many bodies are there?”
Man: “I think, uh, I don’t know – uh, I think they said four.”
[They hadn’t yet found the other two bodies.]
