Los eventos ocurridos en Amityville se han convertido en uno de los misterios más populares y escalofriantes que han perdurado por muchísimos años. Se trata de toda una leyenda que desde el asesinato de los DeFeo y la experiencia de los Lutz publicada en un libro ha sido plasmada en el mundo del cine de distintas maneras, convirtiéndose en toda una franquicia. Ahora Blumhouse se tomó la molestia de hacer su propia versión de la escalofriante leyenda. La película va centrada muchos años del famoso suceso y ahora una nueva familia se vuelve blanco del horror sobrenatural que ha llevado muchos años durmiendo. La película tiene el característico aire de Amityville y se trata de otra representación de la maldición que ha marcado Amityville por décadas. Toma un par de conceptos de la primera película que empezó la franquicia y es curioso que la primera película sea incluso vista en el mundo de esta película, aunque sirve para entender el impacto que los sucesos de Amityville tuvieron en este universo ficticio, al igual que en el mundo real. Amityville: The Awakening es un buen regreso a la franquicia para recordar lo fascinante que sigue siendo aquel misterio sobre la casa embrujada de Amityville. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10.

Katie Rife

AV Club

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.

Slant Magazine

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.

Rated: 2/4

Bloody Disgusting

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.

Rated: 2/5

Grethe Kemp

Channel24 (South Africa)

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.

Rated: 1/5

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