buzznot1012-84-275983 For a person who claims he wishes someone had asked him to give his version of events in the famous Amityville Horror haunting story, Danny Lutz shares very little of it in this documentary. The man is clearly in pain, clearly carrying a load of emotional baggage. However, the more he talks, the more it seems that Danny Lutz's angst centered on his hatred of his stepfather, George Lutz.For all the interview questions asked of him, for all the talking he does, Danny Lutz says very little. The Amityville Horror story has become very murky over the years. The only thing anyone can seem to agree on is that the book and movie were wildly inaccurate. OK? So, what's the real story? In interviews, George Lutz spent much of his time talking about what DIDN'T happen in the house. Danny Lutz doesn't take that route, but he's clearly holding something back.Are the few paranormal experiences Danny Lutz shares convincing? Not especially. He does himself no favors claiming to have witnessed George Lutz moving tools around his garage with telekinesis.Out of the 90 minute only two things were made clear: Danny Lutz hated George Lutz. Danny Lutz hated being identified as "that Amityville Horror kid". Neither is much of a revelation and neither sheds any light whatsoever on this campfire story that just won't go away.

alistairc_2000 I just saw this Dead by Dawn in Edinburgh, Scotland. Excellent insightful horror movie. You can watch it in two ways as a documentary about the events or as an out and out horror movie with the evil perpetrated against the minors in the Lutz family. Either way it is a superb watch. Esp the part with the Christian with the two cockerels.Sometimes real life is so much more harrowing than fiction. Forget the question of whether this happened or not and look at the subtext. This is a movie about a guy who has had to live a fictionalised life. It all happened in just one month in the 70s. This one month has had a huge impact on his life since then.As such it begs comparisons with people involved in similar traumas.

ripleyclone8 I've noticed with the Lutz family interviews that all of them including Daniel Lutz that they don't really explain or go into detail about the events that took place in that house in 1975 and '76. I feel as though in this film they really do more of a personality sketch and check on Daniel as they try to get him to explain in some way shape or form the events going on in the house.This movie is dramatic, interesting and kind of gives way to how emotionally scarred this older guy is from all the press, media, and failing on George Lutz part as a parent. This movie will engross you more about the Amityville Horror and what really made these kids what they are today.

abanahasky73 I went into this movie open minded and whatever the protagonist objective was it surely wasn't what i expected.When making a documentary about the odd and unusual events that happened to you growing up i would expect that in some way you tried to persuade me that the events and paranormal happenings...Well..actually happened.However the more i watched, the more i was convinced that the documentary was a therapy session that revolved around him challenging people to call B_llsh*t on the whole thing.I can only conclude that Danny believed in his mind that the events actually transpired the way he told the story to viewers but buyer beware....You will be left feeling more skeptical than believing in my opinion.
