Awakened

For a film not made by a triple A studio, I'm surprised at the list of known actors in this movie's roster. I'm a huge star trek fan, And when I saw Edward Furlong on the list I had to check this film out. I'll be honest I'm not a big fan of these kind of movies but I will admit its not as bad as the comments make it seem. The editing most definitely could've been better but the acting compensated for all these small technical differences. The story was great, I actually thought it would lack in certain areas like the comments stated, I totally disagree with that. Without spoiling anything the ending wasn't what I thought I'd be it completely threw me off, Samantha definitely deserved much more answers. I still enjoyed the movie overall and I hope others will too.

This movie is comically bad. Terrible script, awful acting and annoying score. Some day it will be a drinking game of movie clichés.

I wondered who would actually put up the money for this rubbish and hire these actors. Then I did a little online research and everything made sense. The "director" and "writer" is the lead actress Julianne Michelle's mom. Neither has the qualifications for it. This mother-daughter duo is relentless in promoting themselves by over stating their qualifications, giving super pretentious interviews (Julianne claims she did Wall Street as a "favor" to Oliver Stone), and slapping on award claims from some 3rd rate film festival.

Just take a look at those 10/10 ratings. 100% must be from family and friends who are nodding along as if they received a really crap piece of drawing from a child but still has to smile and say good job.

Many times the reality is never what it seems. Awakened is a thriller that is full of unexplained events and suspense that is directed with amazing talent. The audience's attention is immediately captured by the intense plot. No one can trust anyone. The constant search for truth, the truth that is scary because it is sprinkled with intrigue and deceit. Awakened is a film not to be missed that leaves the viewer breathless. A film that does not get bored because it makes you look away from the big screen so as not miss any detail. Awakened is one of the best thriller movies of the last times that recommend to all lovers of the genre.

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!

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.
