''Amityville II: The Possession'' is a 1982 supernatural horror film directed by Damiano Damiani. The screenplay by Tommy Lee Wallace is based on the novel ''Murder in Amityville'' by the parapsychologist Hans Holzer. It is a prequel to ''The Amityville Horror'', set at 112 Ocean Avenue and featuring the fictional Montelli family loosely based on the DeFeo family. The cast includes Academy Award nominee Burt Young who was already known for ''Rocky'' at the time; there are a few references to the ''Rocky'' films within ''Amityville II''. This film includes one of Young's rare darker roles as he plays an abusive and sadistic father/husband in contrast to his more easy-going roles. It is the second movie in the ''Amityville'' series. ''Amityville II'' set the pattern for low-budget sequels with little reference to real-life events in Amityville, and is the only film in the series besides the original that features music composed by Lalo Schifrin.〔(Amityville II: The Possession (1982) )〕 ==Plot== The Montelli family; father Anthony (Young), mother Dolores (Alda), elder son Sonny (Magner), elder teenaged daughter Patricia (Franklin) and two younger kids, move into what they think would be the house of their dreams. Initially things begin well, but everything changes after it is discovered that there is a tunnel leading into the house - from where is unknown. An evil presence is shown to be lurking within, unknown to the family. After unusual and paranormal activities, like unknown bangings on the door, an ugly message on the youngest Montelli kids' room's wall (for which their father beats them after suggesting it is them who did it and also beats their mother for intervening, resulting in a huge showdown between the entire family), Dolores tries to have the local priest, Father Frank Adamsky (Olson), bless the house but Anthony drives him away during an incident in the kitchen with Anthony blaming and abusing the youngest kids for it when he tries to stop him and, to Dolores' mortification, Adamsky leaves in disgust, finding his Bible torn to pieces. It is shown all is not well with the Montelli family - Anthony is strict but abusive, and sacrilegious towards the Church, and Dolores is trying to keep it together for the youngest kids. Also, Sonny and Patricia are revealed to have started to have sexual feelings for each other, due to mutual attraction that neither can act on. Soon afterward, the family go to church with Anthony, so he can "apologize" for being rude to Adamsky, but Sonny stays as he is "not feeling well." He soon hears an alarming noise, and goes downstairs to get his father's gun, and hears laughter, following it to the tunnel - the (unseen) presence pursues a frightened Sonny to his room and he then falls victim to demonic possession. The first thing a now possessed Sonny does is approach Patricia to "play a game" with her - where he is a famous photographer and she is his model; she agrees and then reluctantly has sex with him. She later reveals that she enjoyed having sex with her brother, and did not feel guilty about it. She goes to tell Father Adamsky this, but has a breakdown while telling him; Sonny becomes more sinister and demon-like, as his face starts contorting demonically. Startled, he tries to keep his family away, but is unsuccessful due to the demon's influence, who usually contacts Sonny through his Walkman earphones. On Sonny's birthday, he isolates from his birthday party, and calls Patricia who comes up to check on him, freely offering him sex once more. However, due to his demonic phases and his body's gradual demonic contortions, he sends her away, calling her a "damn bitch." Patricia runs away, crying, and tries to tell Adamsky that she thinks Sonny is possessed, but he does not answer. Instead, Dolores slaps Patricia after eavesdropping on them. Later that night, the evil spirit tells Sonny to "kill 'em" to which he goes and gets his father's gun, shoots his father, then his mother, his younger sister, his younger brother, and after a chase, finally kills Patricia. The next day the cops have arrived and pick up the bodies; Sonny is arrested, but states he does not recall of ever killing his family, and is taken away. Adamsky then realizes that Sonny is possessed and asks the church if he can perform an exorcism on Sonny but they refuse, not believing him. He therefore takes it upon himself to free Sonny, and frees him from the prison and takes him to church where Sonny escapes after seeing the crosses on the doors. Adamsky soon runs after Sonny and traces him to the house, where he performs the exorcism, releasing Sonny's soul. As the cops arrive, Adamsky asks Father Tom (Prine) to take Sonny away from him, while it is revealed that the demon has transferred into Adamsky. His whereabouts and what happens afterwards are unknown. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amityville II: The Possession」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
