The film follows Belle (Bella Thorne) and her family after they move into their new home, but when strange phenomena begin to occur in the house, Belle begins to suspect her mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) isn’t telling her everything. She soon realizes they just moved into the infamous Amityville house where between illusion and reality lies evil.

The revival of the series was supposed to happen in 2012 with a found-footage film titled Amityville: The Lost Tapes. However, plans were scrapped and Amityville: The Awakening was created in 2014. While the film was planned to come out in 2015, it faced numerous delays, which pushed it back to be finally released in 2017.
