IGN
Amityville: The Awakening has a good cast, and, if viewed by a group of rowdy friends late at night, may certainly do its due diligence in periodically startling you for 87 minutes, but never manages to transcend its genre in any meaningful way. - 50
Slant Magazine
Franck Khalfoun's Amityville: The Awakening is an elegant entry in a lame series of horror films. - 42
The A.V. Club
The script is just as lazy as the acting, leaning on a fitfully applied, Scream-esque meta subplot to justify why the hell we’re all here in the first place. - 40
We Got This Covered
Franck Khalfoun’s often-rethought Amityville: The Awakening is sleepover background noise at its best, traceable genre road-mapping at its worst.
