Notes et avis

It was nice that it was a free movie, I just couldnt get thru it. If you want me to be honest...that red hair kid is from SHAMELESS, and I cant stand that show. The entire time I was thinking that red hair kid was dying from AIDS since he was skin and bones, and played a homosexual in Shameless thats all I had stuck in my head. I couldnt get into it. It also didnt help that the main female hero was a beeotch that you couldnt care about cuz she was so mean and evil to everyone accept her little sister. Yeah I just couldnt get into it. Turned it off half way through. Thanks but no thank you. Just being honest.

I cannot, in good faith, recommend this movie!. As others have noted, it is a boring amalgamation of thrown-together horror cliche's -- one after the dreadful other. The big name star in this movie is Jennifer Jason Leigh but don't get your hopes up because it seems as if she has phoned in her performance, and you can't blame her really as the script is atrocious. For example, the teen characters watch the original "The Amityville Horror" with James Brolin in the actual house from the movie -- ooohhh scary! And exceedingly corny. This meta-sandwich is cringeworthy and leaves a taste in your mouth that makes you want to slap somebody, but you don't because that is mean and you are not mean so instead you leave a scathing review on Google so that you may turn your anger into something positive by helping to spare others the agonizing torture that is this film. No wonder it's free to rent! I should note I watched the movie in its entirety because, admittedly, I am always a bit fascinated with horrible film making.

At last we have a chance to see this long-delayed film. Thank you, Google Play, for the opportunity. I give the filmmakers a lot of credit for trying, they at least made a watchable film that featured some credible acting and decent production value. I do wish, however, that it was scarier than it is. Pretty much a paint-by-numbers movie, in my opinion. I've seen a lot worse movies get a theatrical run, so who knows how this one would have fared at the box office, but in the end Amityville The Awakening is just ho-hum. Die hard fans will check it out for sure but I cannot imagine it will generate much excitement beyond that target audience.
