Patzer
In the first few minutes of the film, when showing the flashback of the original Amityville murders in 1974, a shot of the Amityville Long Island Rail Road train station is shown. The train seen is a modern model that was only put in service after the year 2000. Also, what looks to be a very tall cell phone tower is clearly visible.

Zitate
Joan: God gave up on us, sweetheart, so I gave up on God.

Alternative Versionen
US prints remove Harvey Weinstein's executive producer credit, due to victims coming forward about the sexual assault and harassment they experienced at his hands in the many years prior to its release.

Amityville in title only.

Amityville the Awakening is finally here after many, many push-backs and delays. Was it worth the wait? Well like many films that use the Amityville name, not really.

The cinematography is fine, the actors are okay. One of the biggest issues with the film itself is the audio, there are plenty of scenes where dialog is drowned out by background sound.

The film starts off on a good step, using what looks like old police footage to explain about the Defeo murders, unfortunately from there the movie makes a steady decline into worthlessness.

Instead of making the movie about the house, murders and haunting, they choose to focus on a bratty girl and her vegetable of a brother. The haunting takes a back seat to the family drama, which makes the movie even worse. Poor pacing, poor writing, the movie is less than thrilling.

Let's put it this way, there's a reason why they opted for a limited theatrical release and putting it up for free on Google play in October through December. It's a film even the producers and directors can't stand behind.

The reality is, the original Amityville was popular because it was portrayed as a true story, so the family drama was more humanized. With these other films, it's about the horror and this film completely ignores that.
