Awakened

This move was just so awkward to watch. The actors were terrible, you really noticed the actors read a script and the emotions were not realistic.

The movie itself didn't really make much sense, you felt no connection to the characters and in the end you're sitting there thinking: "Okaaay, was this really a horror? Felt more like a bad comedy"

I don't believe at all that most people that have given this movie good scores are for real. If you look at the most people that scored this high, you will see most of them are members since the same month they reviewed this movie and many of them have only given 1 movie reviews and scored 1 movie - guess what? Yeah exactly, this crappy movie.

Don't waste your time on this "movie", I'm serious! You're gonna regret you gave this movie 2 hours of your life, when you could have watch paint dry instead - a lot more fun!

This was a terrible movie. I was conned into watching some of it by reading the great reviews but when the movie just wasn't living up to what the other reviewers promised I did a little more digging and realized the glowing reviews are indeed fake, as was pointed out by another helpful person.

Some of the reviewers giving this movie a high score seem to have an obsession with the lead actress and only ever post things about her or about this movie. Other reviewers have only ever commented once and that was to give this pile of garbage a 10.

This movie seems to be from the "Lifetime" movie genre although it doesn't advertise that fact and to be honest I have seen much better "Lifetime" movies.

I gave this movie a 1 star only because there's no option for 0.

Oh and Edward Furling, well he appeared for about a minute and looked like he needed a good bath.

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. The actors are SO bad. The plot is rubbish and the script is so awful and predictable. I caught myself laughing several times during the movie, and i'm pretty sure, that that wasn't the intension from the people who made this so called thriller. It's not thrilling at all. It's very, very slow and boring. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. Save yourself from 2 hours in hell with this boring and very bad movie.

It's beyond me, how so many people have rated this movie so high. It must clearly be the director and the actors themselves who rated this piece of crap 9 or 10 stars. Terrible, terrible, terrible movie...

I honestly can't remember the last time I was so angry that I wasted my time watching a movie as I was with this one. The story concerns a young women who returns home for the first time since she was a child and her mom died, convinced that her violent drunk of a dad killed her mom and determined to somehow prove it.

Lead actress Julianne Michelle seems to basically have two expressions--smiling and not smiling--she doesn't even come close to having the talent required to be a lead in something like this, not that it ultimately matters since the filmmakers completely sabotage their film with one of the most thoroughly destructive surprise endings I have seen since Alexandre Aja's High Tension. In the unlikely event that you somehow found Samantha and her quest for answers dramatically involving the ending will punish you for that mistake.

I seriously cannot emphasize this enough--do not waste your time watching this movie. Awakened is a train-wreck that seems to go on forever before completely self-destructing at the end. It's really bad but not in a way that's in any way entertaining. The songs over the end credits actually felt like salt being thrown in my eyes--so the punishment doesn't end even as the credits run. Again, just don't watch this movie. If you do prepared to be angry by the time it's over. Consider yourself warned.

Interestingly, those who rated the film as 10/10 all registered for 6 years. Almost all of them have this one review only. Movie is 1/1.
