Every once in a while, a movie comes along that is heinous precisely because it shows so much promise and then squanders it in an astonishingly terrible way. Such is the case with BBC film The Awakening, hitting US theaters today. Beautifully acted, it begins as movie about a skeptic who debunks seances and ghost…
Rebecca Hall and Dominic West star in a new old-timey ghost hunting horror movie, The Awakening. Hall plays the cynic Florence Cathcart, famous ghost hunter and exposer of ghost grifters. But when West shows up with a real ghost problem, well... you know what will happen next. Watch the first 10 minutes of the movie…
When we first heard about The Awakening, we weren't that impressed. But then we saw this trailer which features Rebecca Hall running around calling people charlatans and exposing phony ghost seances. It looks amazing, plus Dominic West is in it. Let's hope he gets drunk and crashes his car into a ghost.
Two networks are following in The Walking Dead's footsteps. The CW is developing The Awakening, a show about two sisters dealing with their relationship and a zombie apocalypse. And NBC's developing a show from McG's production company, Zombies vs. Vampires.
