One film I hope we hear getting a US release soon is Nick Murphy’s THE AWAKENING. It is set to hit UK theaters next Friday, I am sure we will hear some word of mouth on it then. Cohen Media Group did pick it up for North America so fingers crossed!
The trailer looked really good, a nice old-fashioned spooky time. I love me some of those, as I am sure you do as well. A crop of new pictures have surfaced and I have them right here for you. They don’t reveal much but they all feature star Rebecca Hall and there isn’t anything wrong with looking at her lovely face.
Haunted by the death of her fiancé, Florence Cathcart is on a mission to expose all séances as exploitative shams. However, when she is called to a boys’ boarding school to investigate a case of the uncanny, she is gradually forced to confront her skepticism in the most terrifying way, shaking her scientific convictions and her sense of self to the very core. Haunting and moving in equal measure, The Awakening is a sophisticated psychological/supernatural thriller in the tradition of The Others and The Orphanage, but with its own unique and thrilling twist.
The film also stars Dominic West, Imelda Staunton, Lucy Cohu, Diana Kent, Richard Durden, Alfie Field and Joseph Mawle. With a cast like that it sure as heck should have your attention.
