High Hopes:
The DeFeos,
Amityville 1974
A definitive true-crime feature film exploring one of the most discussed stories in American history.
Six members of the DeFeo family were found shot dead in their home at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, New York. What happened that night — and why — has been debated for over fifty years. This is the definitive account.
The night that
changed everything.
On the night of November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family as they slept in their beds at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. He was 23 years old.
The case became one of the most sensationalized in American criminal history — and one of the least understood. The mythology that followed obscured the human story at its center: a family, a home, and a night that defied easy explanation.
High Hopes goes beyond the headlines, the horror films, and the decades of speculation to present a meticulously researched, cinematic account of the DeFeo family — who they were, how they lived, and what the evidence actually tells us about what happened.
The story behind the most discussed address in American history.
