Wake Up

The acting and dialogue is so awful and unrealistic I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes. Everytime they opened their mouths I cringed so hard.

Yes it is low budget and some performances are low budget too but it's a half decent thriller with an interesting premise. It's not a graphic scream-a-minute horror and obviously wasn't quite what other reviewers were expecting. Okay movie in my book.

My compliments to anyone who managed to stay awake for the whole film. My sympathies too. The movie is so badly acted, so cheaply made and so boring that most people will be gently snoring 20 minutes in. At least that way they can avoid having to endure this mess. An example of its low budget: when the doctor is in the hospital we see a sign on the wall, Ward C. You can tell it's made of paper or card and has simply been stuck on the wall. OK, i know it must be hard making movies on a minuscule budget but seriously,, guys? As for the acting .... wooden? We're talking IKEA here. The summation is by all means watch it but don't expect to stay awake.

I ignore reviews where the reviewer didn't even watch the movie, turning it off just minutes into it. I have a feeling that these reviewers expect horrors to be big budget, hollywood extravaganza like The Exorcist, The Shinning, or even Nightmare on Elm Street. Those big budget horrors are far and few between. As a horror fan I watch a lot of bad movies. This isn't one of them. Sure it is low budget and sometimes the acting is a little cringe, but overall it is a very watchable movie. It has an interesting concept, that you can't grasp IF you haven't seen the whole movie. It is worth the time.

I get it that Movies have budgets, but this one just feels like the shoestring wasn't enough - as another reviewer has also remarked on. Dialogue was not great, with pauses where there should be none - editing not great either ... There was also no depth to any of the characters ... Just disappointing overall.
