My Amityville Horror

My Amityville Horror

Starring Daniel Lutz, Susna Bartell, Laura DiDio, Lorraine Warren

Directed by Eric Walter

As a child, Daniel Lutz was subjected to a supernatural horror that most people can only image in their worst nightmares.  His family moved into the house in Amityville where, years before, a kid murdered his entire family because of the voices in his head told him to.

The Lutz family only lived in the house for less than a month before they were driven out by the evil spirits that lived within.  Their harrowing tale was subject to several books and films, and made the Lutz family a nationwide name.

Now a much older man, Daniel recounts the terror he experienced in the house, and talks against the skeptics who say that it was all a hoax, as was revealed by Daniel's stepfather before his death.

For people like me who were looking for a great documentary on the real horror of the house, you will be highly disappointed.  All this film entails is Daniel crying about his stepfather George as an abusive man and how much he hated him, combined with random clips of Daniel playing guitar - poorly.  Maybe I made the mistake of watching this film at one in the morning, but I found it completely dry, pointless, and shedding no new light on the mystery.

My Rating: C-
