Amityville 3D (also known as Amityville III: The Demon) is the third film in The Amityville Horror movie saga, released in 3D in 1983. This was the first Amityville film to not be based on or inspired by the so-called "true story" of the original book and movie. The is the first and only film in the series to receive a PG rating from the MPAA.
MGM's DVD box set of the Amityville films claims that this installment is not a sequel, however there are references to the original story. This means that, while "Amityville 3-D" is a sequel in name, with a storyline revolving around the supposedly true stories of the DeFeo and Lutz families, this film's story was entirely fictional, unlike "The Amityville Horror" and "Amityville II: The Possession".
