According to the site, test screenings revealed that the ending needed reshoots including additional VFX. Nothing massively out of the ordinary there, but star Cameron Monaghan had already started shooting the new season of <strong><em>Shameless<\/em><\/strong> and his schedule was now a problem.<\/p>\n<p>The site does also note that the reaction to the film at its two screenings was &#8220;<i>overwhelemingly\u00a0<\/i>positive&#8221; which is certainly encouraging. Their sources estimate a return to filming in November for a Summer or Autumn 2015 release.<\/p>\n<p>While the delay is disappointing, it&#8217;s always reassuring to see the reasoning behind it. Fingers crossed that <strong><em>Amityville: The Awakening<\/em><\/strong> is worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;<\/i>Belle, her little sister, and her comatose twin brother move into a new house with their single mother Joan in order to save money to help pay for her brother\u2019s expensive healthcare.
