C-

The script is just as lazy as the acting, leaning on a fitfully applied, Scream-esque meta subplot to justify why the hell we're all here in the first place.

The Awakening often feels as if it's starting all over again from scene to scene, drinking in Belle as she wanders one shadowy corridor after another.

2/5

The Awakening suffers in large part because Khalfoun sticks to familiar possession tropes, but also because he refuses to embrace the interesting facets of his narrative...The result is bland; this is a movie that just is.

1/5

She (Bella Thorne) is the clichéd Goth girl incarnate, made even more laughable by the fact that almost no teenager in 2017 still wears the studded belts and corset tops that is Belle's "sad girl" costume.

A vulgar exercise of terror that, despite its defects, manages to stand out from its delectable predecessors. [Full Review in Spanish]

The director and screenwriter could not be concerned to narratively justify the very obvious incidents. [Full Review in Spanish]

In my opinion it's the best Amityville film as it is a modern sequel with good special effects and a nice meta edge to it like scream.

A choppy, inept attempt at resurrecting the franchise, Amityville: The Awakening ought to have stayed dormant.
