Lionsgate returns to the eerie world of Amityville with Amityville: Where the Echo Lives, a chilling new horror film set for release On Demand and Digital on October 29, 2024—just in time for Halloween.
Directed by Carlos Ayala, this latest installment offers a fresh yet unsettling take on the Amityville name. Interestingly, this film doesn’t take place at the infamous Amityville Horror house, which has long been associated with the franchise’s origins. Instead, Where the Echo Lives is yet another “in-name-only” entry in the sprawling, unconventional Amityville saga—one of the most bizarre and loosely connected horror franchises in history.
The film centers on a mysterious house that harbors echoes of past horrors, where every creak and whisper seems to bring something terrifying back to life. As a group of unsuspecting newcomers enters the property, they discover that the haunting here is far more sinister than they ever imagined. The house isn’t just haunted—it’s alive, feeding on grief, fear, and forgotten tragedies that refuse to stay buried.
With atmospheric tension, unsettling sound design, and psychological scares, Amityville: Where the Echo Lives aims to deliver a haunting experience. While it may not be directly tied to the original story, it carries forward the legacy of haunted houses and cursed locations under the Amityville banner.
Whether it becomes a cult favorite or simply another eerie chapter in the ever-expanding Amityville mythos, this entry promises to keep horror fans on edge as they question what’s real and what’s merely an echo of the past.
