Amityville: An Origin Story (2023)

Fusion of Fact and Fiction:How it Happened

[9/10 · 6 June 2023]

This docuseries looks at a truly horrific crime and examines how it evolved into a complicated, and profitable, story that has fascinated the public for decades. Based on a true event, we see how the facts gradually morphed into fiction. Plenty of original footage and many new interviews give us a thorough and honest explanation of how the truly gruesome murder of six family members (this alone is the stuff of nightmares), devolved into creatively alluring paranormal experiences which the public couldn't resist. An Origin Story proves these are the creations of one dubious character whose only goal was to profit off the tragedy. It continues to be a fascinating tale!
