We now know when we'll be able to reenter the creepy confines of 112 Ocean Avenue, but it won't be anytime this year, as Amityville: The Awakening has been set for a 2016 calendar spot.
Blumhouse revealed via Twitter today that Amityville: The Awakening (once scheduled for a January 2nd debut) will be released by Dimension on April 15th, 2016.
The latest installment in the Amityville horror movie franchise follows a single mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and her three children as they move into the dreaded 112 Ocean Avenue home in New York, unaware of its bloody, possessive history. One of the kids, a teenager played by Cameron Monaghan, is bed-ridden in a coma-like state, but his new home is looking to wake him up for its own malevolent agenda.
Written and directed by Franck Khalfoun (2012’s Maniac), Amityville: The Awakening movie stars Bella Thorne, Cameron Monaghan, Mckenna Grace, Taylor Spreitler, Thomas Mann, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Blumhouse also revealed that their horror film, Viral, will hit theaters from Lionsgate on February 19th, 2016.
#VIRAL opening 2/19/16 and #AMITYVILLE opening 4/15/16. That was our big news. Love both these movies. Can't wait 4 ya'll to see them!
