The Truth Will Come Out: ‘My Amityville Horror’ Documentary
Bloody Disgusting member Jadama stumbled across something pretty awesome on Facebook that’s right up all of our alleys.
From Film Regions International, Inc. comes My Amityville Horror, Eric Walter’s documentary about the infamous “Amityville Murders” that will “set the record straight” with the help of Daniel Lutz, the eldest son of George and Kathleen Lutz.
While Bloody-Disgusting’s encounter with the late George Lutz back in 2005 led us to believe everything was fabricated, maybe this new documentary will introduce opposing evidence?
Inside you’ll find a synopsis, links and an official teaser trailer.
“The terrifying events recounted in the book and subsequent film, The Amityville Horror, were not the whole story. For 35 years, the complete picture was kept from the public and the one person who never chose to speak has finally been given a voice.
Daniel Lutz, the eldest son of George and Kathleen Lutz, infamous former owners of the house in Amityville, will set the record straight about the 28 life-altering days he spent at 112 Ocean Avenue. Was the Amityville house truly haunted? If so, what really happened? Why have none of the Lutz children been vocal about their experiences until now?
My Amityville Horror includes a personal look at Lutz’s own life; a first-hand account of the terrifying events that occurred to his entire family; his reflections on how his parents dealt with the exposure and the media-frenzy that befell them; and, how both experiences have affected his life since.”

Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
