About This Movie

So, (a)wake is this intriguing little horror piece from 2019 that really dives into the psyche of its main character. You’ve got this guy struggling with the blurred lines between dreams and reality, which sets a pretty tense atmosphere throughout. The pacing is uneven at times, but it kind of adds to that disorienting feeling, you know? There are some solid practical effects that keep the visuals gritty and raw. Performances are decent, capturing that underlying sense of paranoia and confusion well. It’s distinctive in how it plays with the concept of perception and the mind’s tricks, making the viewer question what’s real. Definitely an interesting watch if you’re into psychological horror.
