The pun is in the title(?)
7 September 2022
Considering how one of the main characters is going through most of the movie, I reckon the title is poiting at that. It could also have been Re- Awakening I reckon - pointing to this being the x-version of the Amityville ... franchise/myth - not sure what you would like to call it.

The acting talent in front of the camera surprised me. But I reckon the title had some recognition. On the other hand, we also get a director who really knows his stuff (check his other output) - why he did this? I imagine he is a fan of the original and wanted to do his own take on it. Plus he got paid I assume - money is always a nice motivator to do stuff. No pun intended here either.

The movie is predictable, though I did not see the nod (almost fourth wall breaking) to the original. Literally on your/their screen - not to be missed. A fun, but also creepy moment. Something that can also be said about the ending. I thought it did a decent job there too.
