It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Waste of time and lame, nothing ever happen. Nothing Scary or did I mentioned that it was lame and boring? Anyway, please just don't waste your time with this one. Eddie R. Bridgeport, TX 76426

No good ranking, but it wasn't that bad. Better as Winchester xD Not boring, but of course also not the best I saw...

This opens with the infamous murders at the iconic address. It's 40 years later and a new family is moving in. Single mom Joan (Jennifer Jason Leigh) has three children; frustrated Belle (Bella Thorne), youngest Juliet (Mckenna Grace), and comatose James (Cameron Monaghan).Like James, this franchise is on life support. Anybody hoping for a resurgence may need to do a deal with the devil. There is nothing overtly wrong with this movie other than the fact that nothing original happens. There are jump scares but none of them are inventive or scary. There is only one moment that I found compelling. I love James talking through the computer and asking Belle to kill him. It's one of the few character connections in the movie. None of the new friends are memorable. The mother could have done more. This is a forgettable entry in a dead franchise.

Single White Mom (Jennifer Jason Leigh) moves her family into the Amityville murder house with a son (Cameron Monaghan) in a vegetative state. His bed is placed over "the" spot above the basement. With "awakening" being in the title, you should petty well have the film figured out in the first five minutes.Knowing where the film goes, it takes a long time to get there. The horror build up was slow and the best scenes were dreams. The rave reviews is in part based on the fan following of former child actress Bella Thorne. Better than most films with "Amityville" in the title.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
