[edit] New documentary film

This was removed or the time being: "Los Angeles independent filmmaker Ryan Katzenbach is currently working on a docudrama about the Amityville Horror case. The film, Shattered Hopes: The True Story of the Amityville Murders will reportedly chronicle the DeFeo family and examine forensic evidence associated with the original 1974 murders while challenging the veracity of the "Amityville Horror" story. Edward Asner is narrating the film, which will reportedly be 4 hours long." There is some sourcing on this here, but without a firm release date there is too much WP:FUTURE and it is best to wait until more is known about the project.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:53, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Lie detector tests

There is some more about the tests here. The validity of the tests has been questioned [1] but they are inadmissible in many courts anyway.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:36, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit] New direct to video film

The Amityville Haunting has been released, and it is so bad that anyone who watches it all the way through probably deserves a medal. It starts by saying that the Lutz family lived in the house for two years (they left after 28 days). The house is described as 112 Ocean Avenue, although by 2008 when the film is set, it had been given a new number to deter sightseers. All in all, the film tries to be The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity (both of which are based on the found footage idea), but the lack of any sort of panache surely makes this the weakest film in the series so far (which is saying something, as the other direct to video films are also dire).--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:48, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
