9 Horror Movie Sequels And Reboots Due In 2016

4. Amityville: The Awakening

Because Amityville is an actual place, the name can€™t be copyrighted by filmmakers and is therefore free to use, hence the existence of Amityville Dollhouse, Amityville Death House, Amityville Playhouse and €“ why not? €“ The Amityville Asylum. Due in April, Amityville: The Awakening is the 14th film in the series and the first to receive a theatrical release since Andrew Douglas€™s 2005 movie, which was a remake of Stuart Rosenberg€™s 1979 movie, which was based on a book by Jay Anson, which was €œbased on actual events.€ It€™s yet another ghost franchise from producer Jason Blum, who also gave us the Paranormal Activity, Sinister and Insidious movies, so you know exactly what to expect. The director is Franck Khalfoun, who also remade Maniac from a script by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur €“ the writers of the remakes of Mirrors and The Hills Have Eyes. They also wrote P2, Franck€™s first feature, which starred Rachel Nichols, who was in the 2005 Amityville Horror. One day, someone will create a game called Six Degrees Of Sequelisation.
