Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org It may not exactly reinvent the wheel, but no one can doubt the dedication to their craft and the undisguised glee this team takes in their approach to making genre movies that demand to be experienced in a cinema Jun 18, 2024 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting A lean, mean – emphasis on mean- horror effort that scratches that slasher itch. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Chris Sawin Bounding Into Comics Wake Up could have been fun if the kills weren’t so dull and if the characters weren’t strictly one-layered a-holes. Everything is halfway developed here; the beginning of something with a middle and end involving no imagination or creativity whatsoever. Rated: 2/5 Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Ria Dhull Spectrum Culture Despite serving up some fun moments of genre fare, Wake Up suffers from terrible writing. Apr 8, 2025 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue While some of the showdowns might satiate bloodthirsty genre aficionados, there’s not much underlying suspense to heighten the stakes. Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat Wake Up is a superb, streamlined slasher with a simplicity that radiates the same universal appeal as a late-night In-N-Out burger. Rated: 8/10 Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Smackie u This is what modern cinema has become. Poorly written gen z garbage Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Richard Zero to 100 in a hurry and never slows down. And that ending...It's different than the other RKSS movies but not in a bad way. But like their others it looks great and has a killer soundtrack. See it at the theater or make sure wear headphones/crank up the volume if you watch at home. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review B P Vicious Slasher Taps into Societal Rage Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review John S Yasmin's death was a surprise to me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Luis Gerardo O Crítico en audiencia: Desde el principio se nos da el guiro de lo que tendríamos pensado ver, como si leyeras detrás de la hoja, toma por sorpresa la espectativa. Generando un ambiente de total control, en el cual al salirse de las manos se transforma en una angustiante y punzante cacería, incrementando el temor al percibir un movimiento rápido que despertaría el instinto de caza, donde pareciera que todo ha terminado, nos regala la idea de continuar con la historia. (18/09/24) Ig: luis_gerardo.15 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Andres G It's a bloody and tense movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
