Review of The Awakening (2011) by Robert B — 07 Oct 2015
The Awakening is not a bad ghost story. One can clearly see an effort put in by the cast and crew. It is the type of film one would like to rate up. However, the Awakening has issues with plot and focus.
It is somewhere caught between a detective story, a ghost story, and a drama. Unfortunately, the detective bits feel rushed without much exposition. As a drama the film also suffers, the main character crosses the line from assertive to plain rude and is not sympathetic until the end.
However, the acting is fine, the film looks nice, and is a good view for fans of ghost stories.
