The resulting documentary is, at times, unnerving, but more often a subjective exercise that reveals one of America's most famous hauntings to be an overblown façade.

Whatever the truth is, the story of that house in Amityville and the boy who spent time in it is FASCINATING, even though we might ever know what really happened.

There's a sense that this isn't the film Walter expected to make, but given the footage he had he pieced together a movie. Yet in the end, the question remains: Amityville hoax or horror?

| Oct 22, 2018

Through clever editing of many on camera and audio-only interviews, Walker is able to pull the audience back and forth, until no one is sure whether Daniel is telling the truth, or if he simply has grown to believe his own tall tales.

| Aug 21, 2018

Daniel Lutz is a tremendously interesting, at times moving and at times deeply off-putting interview subject.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2017

Not so much an "untold story" of the Amityville case as a psychological study of a troubled man.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 15, 2015

Though no new answers are presented, the questions should intrigue anyone fascinated by things going bump in the night.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2013

Where Walter's film succeeds is in rendering Lutz, onscreen throughout, as an indelibly prickly and unsettling figure.

| Apr 2, 2013

Not only a unique psychological spin on the entire story, but more importantly a truly heartbreaking examination of a 40 year old man who has spent his life trying to protect a wounded 10 year old boy within him.

If you're a skeptic like myself, this won't convince you, but it will provide some interesting insight into the type of people that spread these stories.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 2, 2013

Unusual doc should please both believers and die-hard skeptics.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Mar 17, 2013

Spooky stuff, effectively directed by Eric Walter, even as it rehashes much of what is well known from the books and movies.

| Original Score: B | Mar 15, 2013

A disturbing mixture of the paranormal and the psychological.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 15, 2013

Mr. Lutz prattles on endlessly about the paranormal activity he says he witnessed, the unpleasant family dynamics he grew up with and more.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 14, 2013

The blurring of fact and fiction has been a part of the Amityville saga since it became public, but for Lutz there's no gray area in his memories, whose power is undiminished.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2013

[Feels] like an episode of "In Search Of" on steroids.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 14, 2013

My Amityville Horror doesn't go far in sussing out fact from fiction-it just adds more noise to the myth.

| Original Score: C | Mar 14, 2013

Whether it was all a haunting or a hoax is left unanswered, but the film leaves little doubt that Amityville's greatest source of evil was, fundamentally, parental in nature.

| Mar 12, 2013

The film is a tender character portrait rooted in deep curiosity and sympathy for its subject.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 12, 2013
