To most of us, our childhood traumas are kept private or are discussed with a therapist. Daniel Lutz' early traumas were splashed all over tabloids, newspapers and even in books and on screen.
Daniel was one of the three children that lived at 112 Ocean Ave. Amityville, NY, with his parents. This residence will be for all time known as "The Amityville Horror House."
The house was the site of a mass murder in 1974 when Ronnie Defeo murdered his whole family with a rifle. Ronnie's mother, father, two sisters and two brothers were all found laying face down in their beds. No one had tried to get out of bed to run, very strange.
In 1975, the Lutz family which included; George, (stepfather to the children), two boys and a girl. One of those boys is Daniel.
This documentary is basically Daniel explaining what happened to him in the house. He is interviewed by Laura DiDio.
One of the biggest reveals of this film is that George Lutz himself was into the dark side of the paranormal before Amityville. I actually interviewed another player in this drama/horror show and that person also had the same thing to say.
This documentary is interesting, especially to those who seek out the dark part of the other side. It's been so many years and the truth is finally starting to surface.
Do I believe what Daniel Lutz has to say? Yes, for the most part he seemed to be earnest in his own belief of his tail. The thing that also makes Daniel's stories ring true is that he is so angry. He feels that he was never able to tell his own story. He has a lot to say along that vein, regarding George and his mother.
You can rent this well made doc on Amazon.
