Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Philip French (1,151) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 13 Nov 2011

By David Edwards (979) for Daily Mirror (UK) (1,133) on 11 Nov 2011

The film is full of familiar scenes of ghostly goings-on, which lead to an unshocking shock ending…

Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Rosie Fletcher (98) for SFX Magazine (298) on 11 Nov 2011

Creepy, jumpy, if somewhat samey, it's set above the spooker norm by its strong visuals, grief-steeped period setting and lingering ambiguity…

Winter and Christmas are traditionally times for ghost stories, and The Awakening is a classy one…

Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 10 Nov 2011

Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Henry Fitzherbert (699) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 10 Nov 2011

Well cast and acted, with Imelda Staunton as the school matron, the picture is watchable and handsomely made but it's rather weakly plotted…

Rarely does a horror film make the back of your neck tingle with the calibre of its performances as well as its jumps and jolts - but The Awakening,…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 09 Nov 2011

[E]legantly creepy tale of a haunting that, wonder of wonders, one may approach equally well from the perspective of total supernatural belief…

Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 09 Nov 2011

Yes, it gets a little melodramatic and nonsensical towards the end, but it's still compelling. I left feeling a little shaken and unnerved…

Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Nigel Floyd (230) for Time Out (7,510) on 08 Nov 2011
