Bloody Disgusting

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

Rated: 3.5/5

Keith & the Movies

“Wake Up” pits a group of hapless young people against a sociopathic killer – nothing new there. But it’s the gnarly tone, the razor-sharp execution, and the gutsy all-out ending that makes the movie stand out.

Rated: 3.5/5

Brian Orndorf

Blu-ray.com

Dark and violent, leading to a refreshingly merciless final act that helps to sell the horror of the situation, as the filmmakers hope to leave viewers a little rattled by this battle between a nutso predator and his unprepared prey.

Rated: B

Wake Up is a fun, neon-soaked ride that never quite manages to cut through the surface-level.

Rated: 6/10

High on Films

“Wake Up” is just a dull, cynical slasher that is entirely toothless and hollow.

Rated: 1.5/5
