SHATTERED HOPES: THE TRUE STORY OF THE AMITYVILLE MURDERS Documentary

[SWF]

From SHATTERED HOPES Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ShatteredHopesAmityville?sk=info

SHATTERED HOPES goes inside the Amityville, and specifically DeFeo family story, like no film before it. The film, with a total running time of 6 hours, is divided into a 3-part trilogy -- something that is a bit unique for documentary narrative.

PART I • FROM HORROR TO HOMICIDE - A brief recap of the events that made the story famous, before launching into the history of the DeFeo family. Along the way, we hear from close personal friends and a narrative of others who were involved, in some manner, in the case. Part I brings us to the catastrophic events of November 13, 1974.

PART II • MOB, MAYHEM & MURDER - From the start, Part II is a marathon of narrative by those who investigated the DeFeo mass murder. It is a vivid recounting of the murders, the events that followed in the hours after the discovery of the body, and we segue into the justice system that would come to prosecute Ronald "Butch" DeFeo Jr. for the crime.

PART III - FORENSICS & FRAUD - Part III engages the viewer with an in-depth forensic autopsy of the case while exploring the hoax that evolved as "The Amityville Horror" and put the village of Amityville forever on the map.

The film features nearly 20 interviewees, all associated with the case in some manner.

COMING SOON • JANUARY 2012

Anyhow, I live a few miles north of Amityville. I just cannot imagine there is anything interesting enough left about that story to merit three documentaries. I call bullshit on these movies.

This strikes me as the definitive doc on the murders, kind of like the definitive docs on SCREAM (STILL SCREAMING, and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (MORE BRAINS) and the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET MOVIES (NEVER SLEEP AGAIN). I figure, well, they did it with the Amityville murders. Besides that poster is very cool.
