Leave your thoughts about My Amityville Horror.
| Film ThreatMark BellMy Amityville Horror is extremely well-done for what is essentially one man sitting and telling his story. |
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorThe results are a disturbing mixture of paranormal ghost story and psychological unease. |
| PopMattersBill GibronThis was a chance for something definitive. What we get, instead, is something as incomplete yet intriguing as the original tale. |
| Film School RejectsBrian SalisburyIt is a film that adequately examines the line between reality and sensationalism and humanizes a story that, even in its mere forty year history, has become a cultural campfire tale. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeUnusual doc should please both believers and die-hard skeptics. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerWhether 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThe 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. |
| Slant MagazineDrew HuntThe film is a tender character portrait rooted in deep curiosity and sympathy for its subject. |
| Alternate EndingTim BraytonDaniel Lutz is a tremendously interesting, at times moving and at times deeply off-putting interview subject. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesNot so much an "untold story" of the Amityville case as a psychological study of a troubled man. |
