‘Amityville in Space’ Trailer Brings the Infamous Evil House into Outer Space
While The Amityville Horror used to be a genuine movie franchise, the floodgates have more recently opened up for pretty much anyone and everyone to make a movie with “Amityville” in the title. This has led to films including the zombie movie Amityville Uprising, werewolf movie The Amityville Moon, and yes, even shark attack movie Amityville Shark House.
Up next? Amityville in Space, which has an official trailer today!
“From Wild Eye Releasing, pack your bags for a frightening intergalactic stay at Amityville.”
“The ultimate battle against the Amityville curse begins after the infamous murder house is exorcised from Earth and reappears in outer space in Amityville in Space.”
From director Mark Polonia (Sharkula), and starring Titus Himmelberger, Cassandra Hayes, Tim Hatch, Ryan Dalton and Jeff Kirkendall, the horror movie will release July 2022.
Watch the trailer below, which is truly no-budget-bonkers…
Spawned from a real-life horror and based on the novel by Jay Anson, the original The Amityville Horror movie was released in 1979, followed by a series of sequels throughout the 80s and 90s including Amityville II: The Possession, Amityville 3D, Amityville: It’s About Time, and Amityville Dollhouse. In 2005, Ryan Reynolds starred in an official remake of the original classic, and more recently, Franck Khalfoun directed Amityville: The Awakening. Pretty much every other “Amityville” movie, however, isn’t actually part of any legitimate franchise.
The past ten years alone have seen the release of unofficial films including The Amityville Playhouse, The Amityville Legacy, Amityville Island, and even… Amityville Vibrator?! Yeah.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
