IMDB rating is wrong. At this very moment Awoken is rated at 5.2. And so it should be. Dreary script, listless acting, non-existent plot, and for a film that was intended to make me fear sleep, it was so boring all I wanted to do was fall asleep - which I did, several times, and that was the best part of the film.

This was fiction at it’s best. Knowing a significant amount about FFI myself, I have to say this was a horrifyingly crude account of what symptoms actually look like, even in extreme cases. Shame. The facts of the disease are more than enough to execute Phillips’ intentions far more effectively. What made unique horror films brilliant like SAW were their raw believability. This was barely melodrama.
