This, of course, turns out to be a dream. She goes downstairs and sees Joan and Juliet seated for a meal, with James seemingly having prepared it. Belle later tries to break out of the house with James, but Joan knocks her out. Joan says she's not crazy and admits that she lost her faith in God after her husband died and James's accident, and she deliberately brought them to the Amityville house so that James could possibly be revived. Belle tells her mom about the theory that James is possessed, even if it sounds crazy. Meanwhile, Juliet is spooked by a demonic reflection in the lake. She breaks down a wall to find "KILL THEM ALL" scratched into the bricks. Joan and Candace take him and Juliet out while Belle goes to the basement to find proof. Belle uses the computer to write a message making it seem like James wants to go outside. Terrence suggest to Belle that she find a way to prove to Joan that James is not who she believes he is. She then sees that James is breathing on his own, making Joan think that he wants to live. Belle pulls his breathing tubes out just as Joan walks in. When she asks how she can help him, he responds with "KILL ME" on the monitor, followed by "GET OUT". Belle goes to James's room to try and talk to him. Later on in the library, they meet with Terrence to discuss the possibility that James may be possessed by a spirit that is giving him improved function, and that the hauntings are due to a magic circle drawn around the house. He went to defend her from punks that were tormenting her, and he was thrown from the second story, leading to his condition. Belle talks to Marissa about what happened to James. Joan is elated that she can communicate with her son again. Words appear on the screen in response to questions the others ask him. Candace brings a computer so that James may communicate with his eyelids. Belle and Juliet experience more hauntings in the form of apparitions, shadows, and a dream in which James is fully mobile and he shoots Belle. Milner experiences a vision of flies swarming all over him and James's body. Milner and Candace return to perform a test on James to see if he really has improved motor functions. After the power comes back, Joan scolds Belle for having friends over without her permission. They find old things from previous owners, like the "High Hopes" sign. The power goes out, so they go to the basement to find the fuse box. Terrence suggests the remake with Ryan Reynolds, but they decline (because "remakes suck").
#Amityville the awakening movie#
Terrence and his friend Marissa (Taylor Spreitler) arrive to watch the movie at 3:15 AM the following night, which is around the same time the murders happened. Belle later has a nightmare that she finds the blood-stained wallpaper in her room before being face-to-face with Ronald DeFeo, Jr. She leaves the room and finds Juliet talking to James, claiming he responds with things that only Belle would know. Belle is annoyed that everyone is continuing to put James through this. Milner is more skeptical since others with James's condition have not usually come back. Joan believes he really is getting better while Dr. Milner (Kurtwood Smith) and her sister Candace (Jennifer Morrison) to discuss James's condition. He then suggests they watch it in the house, to which Belle agrees. Terrence approaches her and shows her a DVD of the original "Amityville Horror" film with James Brolin and Margot Kidder. Back at school, Belle does research on the house, learning about the murders that took place. James flat-lines, but Joan apparently revives him.

Belle takes her back upstairs to her room when they hear a beeping coming from James's room.

Joan thinks it's time for a fresh start in a new place, but Belle thinks nothing will change for the better regarding James's condition.
