Amityville: The Awakening (2015)

The Amityville Horror franchise actually traces its roots back to the original horror novel by Jay Anson, which hit shelves in September 1977. While the book claims the whole thing was based on the real-life paranormal encounters of the Lutz family, it ended up sparking quite a bit of controversy and lawsuits regarding how much of it was actually true.

Dimension Films is planning to drop the next installment in this rebooted "The Amityville Horror" franchise on January 2, 2015.
The movie is going to pick up right where the original story left off, using found footage supposedly recorded back in 1976 to show what went down.

Casey la Scalau and Daniel Farrand are the ones taking the reins for writing and directing this one.

As of right now, we're still waiting on any official word about who will be joining the cast.
