I have been fascinated with the Amityville murders since the mid 70's. Yes, I'm that old! I personally feel the motive for the murders was not supernatural but the dysfunctional family dynamic of the Defoe family and by greed.
This documentary focuses mainly on the Warrens, the paranormal investigators who went into the house about 1 1/2 years after the murders. There's also audiotape interviews with George and Kathy Lutz, the first owners of the house after the murders. They do seem credible, but I still don't think the house was necessarily haunted. I think some weird things happened, I think maybe they let their imaginations get the best of them. Or maybe they bought the house, realized they were in over their heads financially and decided this would be a good way to get out and make some money.
However, it is a good documentary and I recommend.

Synopsis
In 1977, "The Amityville Horror" book was published and caused a sensation. The subsequent 1979 film adaptation was a surprise box office hit. It was a film that changed everything. It terrified audiences and became a film and story that people continue to return to. Today, it is the quintessential American horror story based on TRUE events. This is the story of the all-American family that moves into their dream house in the all-American town and experiences the most terrifying demonic haunting imaginable. Demon possession, demon attacks, a portal to hell. A situation so dire, even the church couldn't help them. Through archival footage and recreations, the special, produced by 1895 Films, presents the harrowing true story of Robert Defeo, who murdered his entire family in the Amityville house, and the 28 terror-filled days the Lutz family lived in the house. —Anonymous

Decent documentary on the murder house
Horrible montage
Good archived details and tapes but HORRENDOUS montage with cheap ugly special effects, dumb sound effects, stock videos of water, sunrise etc and shaking camera. Looks like something TLC would do, when audience doesn't have brain cells. It was very annoying to watch because of that.
