Awakened

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.

This movie is by far one of the worst I have ever seen. It is so slow paced. I found myself reading reviews during the movie bc I was determined to finish it. I can say the only mildly interesting part is the plot twist. But it could have been done so much better. Most of the movie is just boring. The main character holds little interest. The movie itself seemed disjointed. Definitely not a horror movie. Nothing scary here. Maybe a thriller. Lifetime movies are like Oscar worthy in comparison to this. And it's long! For this bad, it should have been way shorter. I would recommend skipping this one. Even if it's free. Watch anything else.

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!

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.

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.
