Opening with faux stock footage intended to introduce newcomers to the strange and horrific incident that inspired the original Amityville Horror and every Amityville film that has followed since, The Awakening rather plainly explains everything most films would normally work into scenes of expositional dialogue. The fact it was due to receive a theatrical bow only further reveals Hollywood’s twisted focus on a product’s potential to make money rather than the quality of said product. This is not a film so terrible that it somehow become good, but rather an almost total failure that even those who claim to love bad movies will struggle to appreciate. After years stuck in release limbo, Amityville: The Awakening has finally arrived with the kind of deafening thud that can only be produced by a film void of entertainment value.
