Wake Up

This isn't the best movie, but it wasn't so bad. They could have done more with it, but I think it was okay. The thing that gets me is all the reviews that hated it and saying that they fell asleep. It was 1 hour and 17 minutes and they could stay awake that is pretty hard to believe. It's not great, but it was interesting and I wish they had added more to it, they had time to spare.

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.

The idea and the execution aren't bad, but we're always aware this is shoestring production, and end up marveling at the way it's made on the cheap, rather than actually falling into the story. After a psychiatrist suddenly dies while researching a patients journal, the job passes to Dr Philip Tanner, who soon figures out the secrets of the diary. More of a thriller than any type of actual horror picture, we're presented with an interesting concept, and serviceable acting. A decent production, but we're always aware of limits of the filmmakers. Horror completists and genre obsessives will have to see, for some of the interesting ideas in the film. Most others should question how much time they'd like to invest. 4/10.

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.

This is not scary at all. Awful acting.The storyline would've been good if only the "scary" effect were better.
