After She Wakes

I kept rewinding thinking I must had missed something because sequences were all over the place or "non sequential"...one moment I was looking at a woman in bed then the next 5 frames, someone cooking. It was the worse editing job I've ever seen, the direction won't win any prizes soon either. Nothing scary happens and there is ZERO action or suspense. One woman keeps yelling her daughter name throughout the entire movie... I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone. Oh so VERY BAD.

Just didn't really care for it & don't really recommend it all that much.

After She Wakes is a decent horror/thriller, one that should be looked up by fans of the genres, because it does manage to deliver an ok story with some good acting as well. It surely does become predictable at some point, especially for those who have had their share of such productions, but still, keeps you interested long enough to get you to the finish line.

The execution is ok, the effects stand tall, even tho they are quite minimal, character development is present and a pretty interesting plot developing here. It doesn't stretch for too long, keeps it at 1 hour and 15 minutes, and I always appreciate this, because a lot of movies tend to expand in order to fill up maybe 90, or 105 minutes, but After She Wakes showed exactly what it had in mind and stopped right there. A great example of less is more.

I do recommend it for horror fans out there, I can't say for sure that those enjoying a good thriller will get a blast from this one, but as a indie horror, it works quite ok.

Cheers!

Movie was just awful! Do not waste your time watching it!

What to say about this movie? Not much positive, that's for sure. At one point, about half way in the movie, the mother asks her daughter what she did last night, and her response was that she sat through some boring movies. That was exactly what I was doing as well at that point. And it didn't get better after that, even worse if you ask me. The entire movie is just boring, doesn't make much sense, bad decisions and mediocre acting, really nothing to get excited about. The scary parts are unexploited, the rest of the movie is basically garbage.
