Such a brave, miserable history it's been, and at the end of it, what do we have? Nothing less than the most horrendously dull film with the word Amityville in the title yet, though that dullness is sharpened by the fact that at least The Awakening looks somewhat less insultingly cheap than the seemingly endless glut of direct-to-video Amityvilles scattered across the 2010s (a glut based, I do believe, in the hope that The Awakening would make enough of a splash to support a constellation of knock-offs - haha, joke's on you, micro-budget producers who failed to predict how epically fucked the straightforward act of releasing The Awakening would turn out to be).
AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING 2016 FREE
Finally, after appearing almost by accident in Ukraine and the Philippines in the summer of 2017, it was shamefacedly pushed out for a one-month free stint on Google Play - Google fucking Play, of all places! - that rather severely undercut the nominal theatrical release meant to take place smack in the middle of that free month. Then Desiree Connell, the production manager of "The Possession Experiment" took to the comments section of Dread Central and said, "This is literally imagery from our film.".Īpparently, this was all done without the approval of Dimension Films who quickly addressed the issue via the website and said that they had no intentions of using the imagery.The epic tale of Amityville: The Awakening began in 2011 with Dimension Films and Blumhouse Productions announcing the impending release of a found-footage film titled Amityville: The Lost Tapes, due to come out in the winter of 2012 it stretched across six years and seven different planned release dates, as its production over the summer of 2014 receded farther and farther into the past.

AMITYVILLE: THE AWAKENING 2016 MOVIE
Previously, there was an issue with the movie's international poster as well, in which Dread Central reported that an "unnamed international distributor" had edited the poster using imagery from the 2016 horror movie "The Possession Experiment". Then recently it was pushed back to 30 June 2017.Īccording to Bloody Disgusting, the release date was rescheduled many times due to several reasons, such as unfavourable test screening responses and production issues, but who knows what the reason was behind the most recent rescheduling?

Later, the release date was pushed forward to 1 April 2016 before it was once again delayed until 6 January 2017.

Originally, the Blumhouse Production film was to be released on 2 January 2015, but then it was rescheduled to 15 April 2016. The Bella Thorne starrer was meant to be released on 30 June in the U.S., just a few weeks away, but yesterday the movie's main distributor Dimension Films announced that the movie will not be showing on the specified date and that a new release date is yet to be determined.

We may never get to see Bella Thorne in "Amityville: The Awakening" on the big screen.Ĩ Jun – We're starting to think that the movie "Amityville: The Awakening" may actually be cursed since its release date has been rescheduled for the sixth time now since it wrapped up principal photography back in 2014.
