Product Information
Nick MurphyÆs gothic horror feature-debut THE AWAKENING is set in the post-World War I England of 1921 - not long after the devastating Spanish Flu outbreak; a time in which people were increasingly turning to the possibility of supernatural realms for comfort. Rebecca Hall (THE TOWN) stars as skeptic Florence Cathcart, who is called upon by teacher Robert Mallory (Dominic West, THE WIRE) to investigate ghostly events at a boys boarding school. Once there Florence finds her steely scientific resolve ebb away, when a series of unexplainable phenomenon causes her to search for answers in her own mysterious past.Product Identifiers

ReviewsHollywood Reporter - A too-rare instance in which a gifted young actor signs on for a fright flick without coming away tainted, THE Awakening places Rebecca Hall in a convincing historical setting and gives her more to do than widen her eyes in fear., Film 4 - The Awakening is a tense, classic ghost story given extra backbone by top-notch acting., Daily Telegraph - Rarely does a horror film make the back of your neck tingle with the calibre of its performances as well as its jumps and jolts - but THE AWAKENING, a beautifully mounted ghost story in the style of The Turn of the Screw, provides chills of both kinds.
