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

Bloody Disgusting

A lean, mean – emphasis on mean- horror effort that scratches that slasher itch.

Rated: 3.5/5

“Wake Up” is like “Home Alone” with horror taking the place of fun at every turn

Wake Up feels like an instant camp classic. It’s a simple but excellent premise: a group of animal rights activists break into an Ikea-type store in order to deface it and protest the business’ use of rainforest wood in their products.

...its inventive use of setting and deeper message of the evils of large corporations is commendable

While it may not have the crowd-pleasing qualities of the collective’s other films, it’s very well-made and boasts a gloriously cruel but satisfactory payoff.

Rated: 3/5

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.
