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 wants to play deadly serious, but the film is a largely dull and confused affair, offering little to a battered and bruised subgenre.

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

Despite serving up some fun moments of genre fare, Wake Up suffers from terrible writing.

Cinemalogue

While some of the showdowns might satiate bloodthirsty genre aficionados, there’s not much underlying suspense to heighten the stakes.

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.
