Like many who grew up in this time I thought I'd seen, read, heard it all about the DeFeo murder case and the Lutz haunting. This doc however did surprise me with a few nuggets that I'd never heard before and I appreciated that. So why only 5 stars? Because of the ridiculously loooooong dramatic pauses that interrupt the interviews. Excruciating, exhausting filler segments sometimes as long as 40 seconds (yes I counted!). Long, slo-mo shots of things like a chandelier, a door, a statue of Jesus; set to the same, repetitive eery music. The interviewees were interesting and would have been more than enough on their own without all the drama.
