The found footage construct of the horror genre is played out all over again in writer-Director Frank Khalfoun's 'The Awakening' allowing for the age-old case to be 'reopened' for further commercial exploitation. After 18 Amityville films having done their bit to create the legend following the 1974 murders, I guess it was time for another one to make some dent on the collective unconscience. Technically, this one is a reboot of 1979's "The Amityville Horror" and it basically discounts what came before as bad, insufferable horror fiction.
