It's not you... It's the house
The terrifying based-on-a-true-story Amityville Horror franchise has been screeching back into life every few years. The 1979 original spawned several sequels (some went straight to DVD etc) and a reboot in 2005. Here comes yet another reset, with Dimension Films altering the story slightly for Amityville: The Awakening. The first trailer is lurking below via Yahoo.
This go-around finds Jennifer Jason Leigh as a single mother moving with her three children into the familiar house, hoping for a fresh start. Things have not been easy for them – daughter Belle (Bella Thorne) is reacting like your usual movie teenager to the idea of starting over at a new school, younger daughter Julie (Mckenna Grace) is at that adorable, hyperactive moppet stage and son James (Cameron Monaghan) is bed-ridden in a coma with injuries that doctors predict he may never overcome.
So what they really don’t need is for horrifying supernatural events to start up, including odd dreams, haunting messages on the wall and other nasty occurrences. If only the real estate agent had thought to mention the place’s storied, bloody history. Oh yes… and the maggots. Yeuch.
With Kurtwood Smith, Gabriel Mann and Taylor Spreitler also among the cast and Franck Khalfoun on writing/directing duty, this is another horror to come rolling from the Blumhouse Productions factory line. It’ll hit UK cinemas on January 1 next year.
