It is one of the highest-grossing independent movies of all time.
Disney+ has added its first big action series of 2024 but if you need more to watch, here are the movies on TV tonight.
The Amityville Horror – Sky Sci-Fi – 9pm
Our pick for this evening is this 1979 classic horror about a newlywed couple (James Brolin and Margot Kidder) and their three children who move into a large house where a mass murder was committed.
There, they start to experience strange, inexplicable manifestations which have strong effects on everyone living in or visiting the house.
Based on the claims of a real family, the original Amityville Horror is one of the highest-grossing independent movies of all time and went on to launch a long-running franchise.
And in the decades since its release, it has become seen as a seminal entry in the sub-genre of the haunted house film.
As well as airing on TV tonight, it is also available to stream via Sky.
