Just a few days back we told you that Amityville: The Awakening would be debuting exclusively for free for a limited time on Google Play on October 12, 2017, with a planned limited theatrical release by Dimension Films on October 28, 2017. Now we have the home video 411 for you!

But here’s the sad part… Back in March of 2016 we reported that Amityville: The Awakening was trimmed from an R rating to a PG-13 for “disturbing horror violence and terror, suggestive images, brief language and thematic material.” The previous R rating was for “strong horror violence and language.” All indications are that the Blu-ray is home to the edited cut; and even worse… there’s not a deleted/extended scenes special feature. Thanks, Bob and Harvey. Much appreciated.

From the Press Release:
Experience a terrifying new chapter of the legendary haunted house when Amityville: The Awakening arrives on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD), DVD, Digital HD, and On Demand November 14 from Lionsgate. Based on horrifying true events, the film tells the story of a family tormented by an evil presence after they move into their new home. Bella Thorne and Academy Award nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh (Best Supporting Actress, The Hateful Eight, 2015) lead an all-star cast, which also includes Cameron Monaghan and Taylor Spreitler. From Jason Blum, the producer of Split, Get Out, and The Purge franchise, the Amityville: The Awakening Blu-ray and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $21.99 and $19.98, respectively.

Synopsis:
In Amityville: The Awakening, Belle (Bella Thorne) and her family move into a new house, but when strange phenomena begin to occur in the house, Belle begins to suspect her mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) isn’t telling her everything. She soon realizes they just moved into the infamous Amityville house.
