Truth may be stranger than fiction, but it’s often scarier as well. After all, it’s not unusual for real life mysteries and deaths to leave Hollywood in the dust when it comes to producing genuine fear. With that in mind, we’ve previously published a couple of lists celebrating some of the scariest documentaries ever made.
However, there’s no shortage of authentic scares when it comes to filmmaking, and that’s why we’re back with another list recommending six more scary documentaries that horror fans might enjoy. After all, whether you’re into true crime or paranormal investigations, there’s something for everyone when it comes to non-fiction thrills.
As usual, we’ll be abiding by a couple of rules when selecting our movies. First of all, no docs that have been previously featured on any of our lists. Second, we’ll be excluding mockumentaries like...

When films say they are based on true stories, it is easy to take such statements with a pinch of salt. The Amityville Horror though is one that is so enshrined in pop culture that it has a whole legend built up around it, whether it is true or not. Second Sight have now brought the popular horror to Blu-ray in the UK and it is well worth buying.
The Amityville Horror is the story of the Lutz family, who move into the perfect family home on the coast of Long Island. Surprised at how cheap it was, it soon becomes apparent why when the shocking history of the house is revealed, along with the demonic presence that resides there.

Has any real-life story spawned more TV shows and feature films than the one behind The Amityville Horror? Jay Anson's book recounting the story of a family that moves into a house previously occupied by a man who murdered his own family has directly led to 13 feature films, including the documentary My Amityville Horror featuring the real Daniel Lutz who lived in the house as a child. It's been referenced all over TV, from The Simpsons to American Horror Story, and its theatrical influence can be felt from 1980's The Changeling to 2012's Sinister. And as if that weren't enough, now the story has evolved once again for a new generation in the form of Amityville: The Awakening. Directed by Franck Khalfoun (Maniac, P2), this new version stars...

It's nine years since we last experienced an Amityville Horror, in the form of Andrew Douglas's remake with Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George. Since then there's been the brilliant documentary My Amityville Horror, picking up with the real-life Amityville "survivor" Daniel Lutz to genuinely alarming effect, but more familiarly fictionalised versions of the story have been languishing in development hell for years. Hannibal Classics' Amityville Legacy remains there, but the Weinsteins' The Amityville Tapes has just resurfaced and finally been given the green light. Franck Khalfoun (the Maniac remake) is directing, and Bd are also reporting that Jennifer Jason Leigh will star.This Amityville has been in the works since before all the problems at MGM (remember those?), and comes as part of the Weinsteins' / Dimension's Miramax deal to revisit their "library" and produce sequels to established properties.Hannibal's Legacy was going to be based on an elderly Amityville...

For most people, “The Amityville Horror” was just a movie, but for Daniel Lutz, who lived at the infamous house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, it was real life. In 1975, when Daniel was 10, his family lived there for just 28 days before fleeing in terror, the victims of widespread supernatural happenings that pushed them to the brink of madness and had them fearing for their lives. A media circus began that never fully ended.
Up until their recent deaths, his parents George and Kathy Lutz, never went back on a single claim. In the 35 years since the ordeal, Daniel has never spoken on the record about his experiences.

My Amityville Horror is a documentary making the rounds on the VOD circuit, and is out in limited release around the country. You can find our review of the film here, but recently we had the opportunity to talk with director Eric Walter about the project.
Before we got started, Eric Walter made it clear that he was a huge Famous Monsters fan, that he’s been one ever since he was a kid, and his dad collected the magazine. Perhaps he still does. Now, he’s come full circle, talking with us about his first feature film, a documentary entitled My Amityville Horror, that delves into the infamous hauntings that took place at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, NY that tore the Lutz family apart and made them household names for decades, as the specter of what did or didn’t happen loomed over the rest of their lives, including one Daniel Lutz,...

To watch The Amityville Horror and be terrified is one thing, but what about hearing the actual ghost story that inspired Jay Anson’s original book? Yes, the movie is all based on stories recalled by the Lutz family while living in one of the most fabled houses in Long Island history, although there’s much controversy over the actual details – and that’s where documentary filmmaker Eric Walter comes in with his brand new film My Amityville Horror.

For a lot of horror fans, watching a film based on a true story makes their viewing experience all the more jarring. And really, we can’t argue with that. Taking in a reimagining of something that actually transpired is inherently more frightening than a film that isn’t grounded in reality. With that said, we’ve put together a guide to what we hold to be the ten most shocking films based on or inspired by actual events. We’ve ranked the films according to how shocking the movie is, how shocking the actual events are, and how closely the film follows the events it was based upon or inspired by.

Title: My Amityville Horror Director: Eric Walter Over the past three-and-a-half decades, the paranormal events at a house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, a suburban tract along the south shore of Long Island, New York, have inspired all kinds of books — most notably Jay Anson’s 1977 bestseller — and 10 movies. Make that 11, now. Director Eric Walter’s new film, however, is a bit different. “My Amityville Horror” is a documentary look at the events that terrified young Daniel Lutz and his family in late 1975, as told from the perspective and recollection of Lutz himself.

In 1975, George and Kathy Lutz (along with Kathy's three children from a previous marriage), moved into a huge house in Amityville, a tiny Long Island suburb. In less than a month, the family would abandon their possessions and leave the house, later claiming it had been the source of a number of supernatural disturbances – including the appearance of a floating, wolf-headed pig; demonic possession; and swarms of ghostly black flies. (The events were immortalized in a supposedly nonfiction book by Jan Anson that has been adapted a number of times for the big screen.) In "My Amityville Horror," Daniel Lutz, Kathy's oldest boy (he legally changed his name when George married his mom), talks, for the first time, openly and at length about what he experienced in that house. The results are a disturbing mixture of paranormal ghost story and psychological unease. The film begins with Daniel Lutz sitting at a table,...

“Based on a true story” is a method applied to ground a film with a sense of reality. How much truth within the adapted work is usually the real question? The infamous Long Island haunted house, dissected and routinely tailored in literature and the media, isn’t the key focus of My Amityville Horror. Instead, the film centers on the reality encountered by Daniel Lutz, the eldest son of the tormented family portrayed in classic The Amityville Horror.
What transpires in this documentary is a slow burning, revealing examination of a man afflicted by the life long distress associated with a broken home life, but also the questioning stigma associated with living in the most infamous of all American haunted houses.
28 Days. That’s the length of time the Lutz family spent in the colonial house on 112 Ocean Avenue before supernatural forces supposedly forced them out. The spectacle that transpired...

Dysfunction Junction: Walter Revisits Source of Classic Horror Film with Mixed Results
Thanks to Stuart Rosenberg’s 1979 film adaptation of Jay Anson’s infamous novel, “The Amityville Horror”, along with its various sequels, not to mention that high profile 2005 remake with Ryan Reynolds, the spooky tale of a family plagued by a series of chilling paranormal activities has long been cemented in the pop cultural psyche. For his documentary debut, filmmaker Eric Walter revisits this notorious case with My Amityville Horror, scoring an exclusive interview with Daniel Lutz, the eldest child of the Amityville family, given the chance to share his side of the story nearly thirty-five years later. 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, and Daniel Lutz to be an intriguing case study as a victim of psychological (and not preternatural) abuse.

Written/directed by: Eric Walter
Featuring: Daniel Lutz, Laura Didio
Survival is a common theme in horror films. The notion of outwitting the bad guy in any given film is the motor of a standard plot. But what if the events in question are supposedly real and someone who lived through it decides to come forward and give their side of the story decades later? The audience would be expecting something groundbreaking and chilling. Unfortunately, in the case of director Eric Walter's My Amityville Horror, the titular story comes off as a tepid and unsubstantial vision of something that is potentially much darker.
The storyteller for the majority of the film is Daniel Lutz, Kathy Lutz's oldest son and the adopted child of George Lutz. He maintains throughout the film that he must tell this story as he lived it, but he is also terrified to do so.

Hitting VOD and digital download March 15 (from IFC), My Amityville Horror finds Daniel Lutz, son of Kathy and stepson of George and one of the central figures of the original Amityville Haunting recount his version of events. What transpires is an often sad, sometimes weirdly hilarious portrait of a then-kid wrapped in the middle of media phenomenon, supernatural intrigue and coming-of-age in a disastrous family, and all the trauma it's left behind. Director Eric Walter chronicles Lutz's confessional, as well as meetings with psychiatrists and even paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren. Throughout, Lutz alternates between open, defensive, aggressive, ridiculous and belligerent. It's a gripping watch that also features, considering the talk that comes directly before it, the best onscreen guitar solo going.
