One of the Lutz children in 2005 told Inside Edition that “the only thing [Hollywood] got right was that our family moved into that house and we left”/ In 1974, Ronald Defeo did in fact kill his parents and siblings with a rifle while they slept, as the movie truthfully depicts. Also like the film, Ronald did say that he had heard voices that told him to kill his family. However, in 202 he told Primetime Live that he did if because his parents were abusive and he was drunk. A priest, Father He said that while he was sprinkling holy water he heard a voice directed at him say “get out” and felt a slap on the face despite no one being there. But, unlike the film, there were no flies that swarmed him. There were no ghosts, no bloody walls, no secret torture chambers, and no ketcham figures. The father of the Lutz family never tried to kill his loved ones, and there was no one in the Defeo family called Jodie.
