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.
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 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.

This was a terrible movie. I was conned into watching some of it by reading the great reviews but when the movie just wasn't living up to what the other reviewers promised I did a little more digging and realized the glowing reviews are indeed fake, as was pointed out by another helpful person.
Some of the reviewers giving this movie a high score seem to have an obsession with the lead actress and only ever post things about her or about this movie. Other reviewers have only ever commented once and that was to give this pile of garbage a 10.
This movie seems to be from the "Lifetime" movie genre although it doesn't advertise that fact and to be honest I have seen much better "Lifetime" movies.
I gave this movie a 1 star only because there's no option for 0.
Oh and Edward Furling, well he appeared for about a minute and looked like he needed a good bath.

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.
