The Awakening (V) (2010)
Indie Film at Its Best? No.
5 October 2011
A group of LA twenty-somethings are lured out of the city and out into the wilderness in search of a rave...

This film has possibly the lowest rating of any film I have seen in a long time. For whatever reason, Netflix suggested it to me with a very high probability of my liking it. But I knew in the first two minutes that it was a bad movie. Thanks, Netflix.

The volume of speech versus music is obnoxious, the plot is terrible until the second half. In fact, the first half spends a good deal of time focusing on a rave that nobody care about. The special effects are nothing to brag about (and the film almost could have been better if they never used any effects at all). I was hoping the old, grainy look would add atmosphere... but it did not.

Failure, failure, failure.
