Trailer for THE AWAKENING Starring Rebecca Hall, More Gothic Horror
July 2nd, 2012 by Graham McMorrow
I get a serious The Woman in Black vibe watching the trailer for The Awakening, but that might not be a bad thing though. These British horror movies are entertaining for the most part, and you can’t go wrong with the lovely Rebecca Hall in a lead role.
Hall who plays a hoax buster gets called to investigate the death of a student at an all-boys school and soon discovers that what she figured was just another hoax might actually be real. There are some creepy kids here, so beware.
The Awakening opens August 17th.

I know it looks similar to The Woman in Black if you go by the trailer, but I have seen both these movies and this one is the better of the two. There are not just those empty thrills that make you skip heartbeat, it is actually a good movie, meaningful and subtle and thrilling .
That is good to know! Yeah I was a little hesitant with this one with the cliche horror shots like the hand on the door knob and developing photos, but that could be just lazy trailer making.
