10 Film Sequels Destined To Bomb In 2017

10. Amityville: The Awakening

Journeys to the big screen don’t get more nightmarish than the one Amityville: The Awakening has endured. Originally scheduled for an early 2015 release – at this point titled Amityville: The Lost Tapes – this release date has since bounced around like a pudgy, demonic pig with a tentative release penciled in for June 2017 – but, let’s face it, that could change.

The film has a decent cast, headed up by Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bella Thorne, but with re-shoots having already taken place, it would seem that the intriguing found footage angle that The Lost Tapes promised has been replaced by something a bit more straight forward and dull.

Director Franck Khalfoun’s last film was the never seen i-Lived and his cold streak looks set to carry on given the less than emphatic press screenings that have already taken place. The horror.
